PNY PRO Elite V2 256GB Flash Drive USB 3.2 600MB/s

Every time I copy something to this drive I say out loud: “ridiculous” … because it’s so fast.

It says max 600 in the ad but testing with blackmagic speed test I am getting around 768MB/s read / 724MB/s write! It's turbo fast and it has a metal case. I think we have a winner!

Had an old WD 1TB external hard drive which i used to back up important files and folders to but it was slow........ I recently bought a new laptop and needed to swap a lot of data between the two so bought this to help with that process and to then keep important files backed up to as a copy. This has a nice design (the sliding out part is a little stiff when trying to push the USB part back into the cover), transfer speeds are more than enough for what I needed, was able to shift over 250GB of data in next to no time.

Superficially, I am very impressed with this drive. It's small, seems well made (shame the keyring hole is plastic though) and is usually very fast indeed. I say usually. For some reason, sometimes the device is capped at around 38MB/s for both reads and writes. And sometimes it's not, with it working at full speed. Don't know what's causing this. It doesn't appear to be a throttling issue as it will do it from cold. I've also tried it in a number of usb slots and it seems to do this in all of them. So maybe mine is defective? The jury is out for now, unless/until I can figure out what the problem is.

Trash product, bricked after 3 months to write only protection so functionally useless. Can't get return or warranty without sending it back even though it still has private data on it. Customer service completely lacking as they have nothing that can wipe it remotely so unless you never use it for important data that needs protecting and you're happy with replacing it every couple months its awful.

The Temperature Goes Above 80. Write Speed Drops Below 300Mb/s

Good quality service and product

Update: 14/09/26 I have send email to PNY about my concern. They send me new one which512gb. Much appreciated to PNY Team. Bought this two years ago. Out of the blue stop working and says “the disk is write protected” can’t format or copy anything.

Pen Drive Volador. Un pen Drive de calidad, con una construcción sólida y una velocidad de escritura excelente. Ya compré tres y todos vuelan.

This drive is pretty fast. My PC is a Ryzen 7 7800x3d, 32GB of RAM, and uses a Sabrent Rocket PCIe 4.0. I reach about 350MB/s write speeds, and almost 400MB/s read. I validated the capacity with "Validrive" free software. This thing has been through the wash, ran over by my motorcycle, left in the heat while camping in the badlands, ect... it's been abused since I keep it on my keychain. I never lost any data, and I've had it for a year and a half now. This drive is great! I'd buy another one if I needed it. The 512GB is more than enough for me. Buy this drive with certainty that you won't be scammed as long as its authentic. Dont buy it somewhere else because it's cheaper. You get what you pay for.

Muy satisfecho, cubre mis expectativas en capacidad y velocidad.

Muy buen servicio
