Update 6/5/18 I put it aside for a few months, then tried it again. The problem is still there, I have 4 computers. No matter what computer I use the PNY 16 Gb USB drive with, the problem occurs.

I contacted PNY and they will not stand behind their drive and replace it.
------------------------------------------------------------
7/6/15 Buyer Beware!: I sent PNY the following: Despite your product's 1 year warranty, a USB drive should last longer than a hard drive, because it has no moving parts. A hard drive, with all its moving parts, lasts on an average 5 years.
I expect you to stand behind your product, and provide me a replacement." They refused.

I will never buy anything from PNY again.
