PNY Elite 480GB USB 3.1 Gen 1 Portable Solid State Drive (SSD) - (PSD1CS1050-480-FFS)

Performs as described. Mine does not get hot.

FAST. Small, Good price. BUY it. Remember to to a full reformat after arrival. Otherwise will not run at full speed. Ask Don at PNY support!

I am really satisfied. Small, light, and fast.

Great little SSD. Uses a standard USB Micro-B 10 pin connector that can be replaced provide connection to USB type C or A. Comes with an A connector. Depending on you computers USB port speed this drive can be used to host applications or VMs.

I am a gadget fanatic. Love the compactness, and so much faster than my HHD drive. Just enough storage to last a while. Love this thing.

These are tiny and fast! I use this drive as an external drive to my 2016 MacBook Pro. They are almost as fast as the Samsung T3 SSD, which is one of the fastest today. I have Windows 10 installed on this drive for gaming on the MacBook Pro, so I dont have to partition the internal drive with Boot Camp. This way my Mac drive is clean without any Windows installations. This drive has Overwatch installed, and I consistently load the game faster than others, which means I can pick the hero of my choice first. Highly recommended for the value and speed. **** UPDATE 6/2017 **** Its dead.

I LOVE THIS. I use this thing to run Windows 10 externally through Thunderbolt 3.1 USB-C. The speed of the connection is fast enough to support everything I I need to do, even gaming. Its compact and fits in accessory pockets of my laptop case. Im really impressed with his little SSD.

Fantastic little device. Just the right size so it doesnt get lost or misplaced. Though others have noted it gets a bit warm upon use, that doesnt seem to be much of a concern. Once the data is encrypted, this is a good little device to take when traveling. It loads onto the desktop right away and quickly ejects as well. Similarly password box loads quickly.

Word great

Nice compact size Large Storage East to set up and use.
