    wow they are so slim!Thinking of getting U173 model one!

  3. Dilon Says:

    Good design, but i have experience using PQI U172 much trouble. I don’t know why, data transfer can’t work well. Then I took it to the computer store where I bought this PQI. after waiting a while I get a new PQI replace with the same type. But after a few days use, I experienced the same problem. Why be like this?

  4. DT Says:

    Dilon, sorry to hear that. What computer and operating system were you using?

  5. Jseb @ Canvas Prints Says:

    I have got one of these and find just having it attached to my keys makes life so much easier. They are good little devices

    my USB flash PQI U172P 16G.B doesn’t work on any computer when i put it in any PC i tried with all windows systems XP,Vista, WIN7 with different computers it still not working, it gives me that it search for drivers like any USB flash but in the end it says: ” USB Device not recognized
    One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it for assistance in solving this problem, click this message”
    and when i click on this message ir gives me that the usb:” Unknown Device”
    i wish you can help me in my problem.
    thank you

  7. givara Says:

    by the way i tried every program that on this web site it didn’t help me

  8. DT Says:

    Givara,
    is this a new device or were you able to use it before? Did you try plugging the stick into another USB port or computer? If the PQI U172 doesnt work there either you should definitely contact PQI customer service: PQI support

  9. Admin @ purevaps Says:

    Similar problem, but my U273 works on most computers most of the time. It was working on one (Win7), but next time I plugged it in, the drivers couldn’t be found. Win7 still recognized it as a PQI device, and it works on two other comps (Vista).

    Strange thing is PQI doesn’t have drivers for it even on their site, where they have drivers for a whole lot of other products.

  10. DT Says:

    Purevaps,
    I posted an article just a few days ago, USB Device Not Recognized that should help you and givara with their problems. Good luck!

  11. Matt @ Canvas Prints Says:

    Just hangs perfectly on your keyring. And can’t complain about lifetime warranty, nice little device
