PNY Pro Elite 1TB USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C Portable Solid State Drive – (PSD0CS2060-1TB-RB)

When using this, the unit will get hot. It is okay but just be careful when the computer is on

Plugged directly into my boxs 3.1 gen 2 port, I get read speeds of 840 MB/s and write speeds of 768 MB/s using CrystalDiskMark. Plugged into a 3.1 gen 2 hub however I get similar read speeds however my write speeds drop to 739 MB/s. Clearly this SSDs best performance happens when you dont use a hub. Its really small and a nice piece of tech and the speeds are pretty close to advertised.

This is the one you want. Ive had numerous PNY flash storage devices, and theyve never failed me. Their storage is fast, and this device is no exception. Really fast. It can get fairly warm to the touch (not hot). Use as Time Machine backups for MacOS, and it works like a champ. PNY is very competitively priced, and they continue to earn my business.

I set this drive up to record footage in ”sentry mode”. Works great and the 250gb give you plenty of storage.

Works fine so far. Exactly what I was looking for.

The only reason I gave 4 stars is It could use an rubber coating or something to keep it from slipping I have dropped it several times it’s very slick aluminum surface slides out of your hand so for portability it could use some improvement.

I just used this for the first time and it got extremly hot after a few mins like 5 or 10. Also it kept telling me I had to unplug and plug it back in when i was moving picturee from my samsung 20 plus to it.

Trabaja muy rapido, esteticamente es justo lo que estaba necesitando, tamaño impresionante. Llego en 3 dias a Fusagasuga Colombia, eso me dejo impresionado. Recomendado para los que lo necesiten. Viene con dos cables, C a C y C a usb, cable cortico apenas.

Faster than competitors- smaller to. Just what I wanted

This drive is small and attractive, and comes with both standard USB and USB-C cables. It’s very light, quite cute and smaller than many, around 2x2” and a less than a half-inch thick. I knew it would be small but was surprised anyhow. I use a 2012 i5 mac mini upgraded to 16gb RAM and an internal SSD, and that’s what I’ve tested it on and will be using it with. The drive plugged in and just played instantly on Mac OS. I ran “BlackMagicDesign” speed test which is the one I have on my machine, and got about 370 MB/s write and 425MB/s read after a number of cycles. This is more than twice as fast at writes as another modern external SSD I have, so that may be the “Pro Elite” speed showing its moxie. The read speed is roughly the same as the other SSD. I didn’t expect to get the maximum touted speed of this drive on a 2012 mac mini. The drive warmed up a fair bit during this but I assume that’s standard during intensive reads and writes. The housing is plastic and textured, has a nice feel. Drives have come a long way in my lifetime, this one seems nearly miraculous. I plan to use the Acronis True Image software which is included to clone my SSD startup drive so I can boot from it externally over USB3 on my other machines or in an emergency. Small fast high-capacity drives like this running at USB3 speeds makes that a reasonable option. I like the drive, which so far is a 5-star product!
