#512 flash drive pny pro

To test the performance of the PNY 1TB PRO Elite USB 3.0 Flash Drive we used the BlackMagic disk speed test on a current generation MacBook Air as well as leveraging a Lenovo ThinkStation 920 for Windows testing. While not heavy, the drive does have some heft to it, making it feel nice in the hand. This particular device features the slick, cap-less metal sliding collar with a push/pull design for optimal safety for your drive. Though PNY hasn’t always steered clear of this design, that’s not the case with the PRO Elite USB 3.0. It seems that, as time goes on, more and more manufacturers are (thankfully) moving away from the easily losable USB cap design. This will allow users to easily and safely transport the already low footprint storage device. Additionally, the insert features a key ring hole. The PNY PRO Elite USB 3.0 sports a premium gunmetal-plated casing with a gray plastic insert that beautifully compliments the housing. The PRO Elite USB 3.0 Flash Drive carries an MSRP of $259.99 for the 1TB capacity and about $108 for the 512GB model.

Even still, this is much less expensive than most 1TB drives you may find floating around on the market. The caveat here is the price tag, which may scare off the average consumer. If true (which we will find out soon enough), this drive would make be an excellent choice for prosumers, gamers, and, of course, business professionals. Looking at the product specs, we see sequential read/write speeds that are quoted to be as high as 400MB/s and 250MB/s, respectively. When PNY says this is a large capacity, high-performance flash drive, they mean it a USB drive with a 1TB storage capacity is nothing to shake a stick at. This successfully removes the chances of losing that annoying cap while still providing protection for the USB head. The PNY PRO Elite USB 3.0 utilizes the cap-less, metal sliding collar design. Not only is it designed to be aesthetically pleasing – it was designed to be functional. The PRO Elite USB 3.0 is an optimal solution for transferring, sharing, and storing large files, all the while sporting a nice design. PNY’s 1TB PRO Elite USB 3.0, which was announced in mid-March, is a large capacity, high-performance USB flash drive.
