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?

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

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

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.
