PNY 512GB PRO Elite V2 USB 3.2 Gen 2 Flash Drive, up to 600MB/s read speed

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.

Good quality service and product

Unlike too many of the cheaper, knock-off products that fraudulently claim to hold 1TB of data but really don't, this product actually holds all the data its size claims - so is worth every penny I paid for it! It is high speed and from a well known and trusted brand. Highly recommended, avoid the cheaper knock-offs that won't really be able to do the job!

Really thought that with regards to the speed would cause overheating like crazy and throttle didn't seem to be the case quite impressive.

Muy buen servicio

أحببته جدا لمتانته وسرعته الفعلية وجودتة .. أنصح به ..

Penna USB velocissima, sono pienamente soddisfatto
