today i'm unboxing something that may not seem that interesting on first
0:04
glance but i assure you it is this is the pny micro attache premium usb drive
0:10
you can tell that it's attached instead of attach
0:13
because of the accent and because i am canadian i know how french accents work
0:19
imagine that okay so let's get this open
0:22
first of all this is an eight Gigabyte usb thumb drive
0:26
and like i said doesn't seem like there's really anything much to be said
0:30
about it it's doesn't even advertise a rated speed
0:34
because something like this is not really about speed it's about how small
0:38
it is and you'll notice i have a knife today check that out i'm always
0:42
forgetting a knife for my unboxings and i have to like tear things apart or use a key or a pen
0:47
alright so let's see what the insert includes it includes um
0:53
seems to be taped shutter oh it's glued shut look at that
0:58
aha there we go oh so it includes a little security tag these are great
1:02
because you can like stick them on the bottoms of people's shoes and then when
1:06
they walk around in the mall they'll have the alarms going off all over all
1:09
over the place we'll be able to figure out what's going on uh they include a pny uh catalog which
1:16
has something about their verto cards their accelerate cards these are their
1:20
consumer gaming graphics cards and they have their quad cameraman's looking
1:24
somewhere else entirely oh build to order usb that flash drives i didn't
1:28
know they do that look at that so
1:31
many models and colors and sizes you can pick a logo and i had no idea pny did
1:35
that then we've got their quadro graphics cards up here and then they
1:39
have memory upgrade solutions okay let's see what's on the other side
1:44
we also have usb 2.0 flash drive solutions then we
1:49
have compact flash an sd and sdhc
1:52
and SSD drives there that is the entire uh
1:56
catalog for pny very convenient to them to include that for us then we have
2:00
operating considerations and precautions
2:04
okay wow that's pretty much it and they show you how to plug it in because that
2:09
is what is cool about this drive this is one of those tiny tiny tiny usb drives
2:15
that if you didn't know how to plug it in i actually i actually sent someone to
2:19
print photos for me at costco and i sent them with one of these micro drives and
2:25
the lady at costco at the photo counter said that they didn't
2:29
they didn't have a slot for this particular kind of memory device and so
2:33
um not knowing how to show them how to do it i ended up with uh
2:39
well my friend didn't know how to do it either so i ended up with my my drive
2:43
full of my photos just coming back to me and i didn't get my photos that was
2:48
quite a disappointing experience but i am going to show all of my loyal viewers
2:51
see i've been keeping this board next to my unboxing station for a reason it's
2:55
been leading up to this moment and if you believe that i have a bridge
2:58
to sell you so it plugs in just like that
3:01
check that out so it is like the lowest profile possible usb flash drive the
3:07
only way you can screw it up is if you stick it in this way because that way
3:12
it'll go in for sure but see the metal contacts here won't actually make
3:17
won't actually touch the metal contacts inside the usb port so there you have it
3:22
that is the pny micro attache
3:25
