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

I bought two of the 1TB models. Each on their own on a Mac thunderbolt 3 connection (running down at 10gBps USB 3.1 Gen 2) I got about 760mBps, but making a Disk Set and striping RAID 0 on the pair I get 1350mBps! That is almost as fast as my internal flash drive. And it’s 2TB at that speed for $250 total on the sale price! On old USB 3.0 you only get ~760mBps so no advantage there for RAID 0. You can’t really make these things burn until USB3.1 gen 2 runs on your machine. Macs with thunderbolt2/3 get that gratis. But note these don’t have daisy chainable ports and thunderbolt is daisy chain only. So you need either a 3.1g2 hub or enough tbolt ports free. The form factor is stubbier but just barely bigger than the Samsung T5, and far faster. Amazed these went so cheap. Maybe I get another pair. Time will tell if they last.

It was a worth while product, i just wish that reliable SSDs were cheaper

Out of the box it was easy to connect to my MacBook Pro 2016 laptop. Just plug in, then was able to drag and drop. So far Im averaging 180 mb / second. To backup 225 gb it took about 21 minutes. So, not as fast as advertised. It is nice light, and the price was decent. But I wouldnt buy again based on the speed.

Unfortunately, the SSD speed and reliability to transfer data is good in short bursts or small period of time, after the SSD heat up, speed is gone. It ends up having the speed rate of a USB 2.0 device. Ill buy the SanDisk Xtreme Portable SSDs, have seen some colleagues using this and the speed is amazing, is very reliable and suitable for other IT tasks. Do not buy this product if its above $70, is not worth it

I had a VM image stored on the drive, the drive just stopped responding without any warning. Now when I plug the drive in I get this error. Do not buy any PNY SSDs.

Great for backup file. It works great as an pocket size external drive that I can put into my pocket and take it anywhere

I bought this to run Windows 10 off an external drive via Boot Camp so that my kids could play PC video games on our iMac. It works like a charm!

Excellent

Bought a new laptop with 256 gb SSD, added another 500 gb with this external USB-C SSD. Plug and play, no issues at all. I’m still in awe that 500 gb of storage is in such a small device. I’m old enough to remember 1 mb hard drives the size of a toaster. Very pleased with this item.

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.
