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

Great, not bad. I recommend it for like if you have games, and then you can move it all onto that

Very good device!

Pny is a good brand

Almost one Tb of external SSD storage for under $100. Works well, small, lightweight. >14,000 songs stored and access is faster than conventional internal drive.

This seems to be a really nice SSD. It seems to be of solid construction. It is small, just a little larger than a standard USB Thumb drive. I was impressed with the transfer speed when I loaded 350 GB of data to it. Actual times of around 7-7.5GB per minute from one external hard drive to this SSD. Given the age of the PC and the Ext. Drive holding the data, I am impressed. My only wish was that it had been C port capable. I expected it to heat up quickly and get very warm, I was pleasantly surprised at how little heat was present after some large transfers. So, I am quite happy with this purchase. If you need to take 480GB of DATA with you when you leave home, this is a good way to do it.

I love it, I do, I really do, but I dont think I love it because its blindingly fast, because to be honest its not that fast at all. Speeds are all over the place really depending on the file type and size, the majority of time they are around the 150 - 200 write and about 200 - 300 read, so no records being broken there. Its so small though, its a 480Gb SSD that looks like a Zippo lighter and weighs as much as box of tic tacs. I bought it to run a backup copy of my OS, pretty damn easy too. I reinstalled my main OS and then used Rufus and installed a Windows To Go on the Elite drive, works flawlessly too. Use on any PC and after an initial first time windows setup on the new PC, you dont have to go through it again, even with systems with conflicting hardware (like AMD or Nvidia GPUs), you can install the drivers along side each other, they only become active when they coincide with the correct hardware on boot up. Ive actually ran a full day of booting from the PNY Elite, just using it like it was my main system drive, it only ever felt warm to the touch and only a little warmer when moving huge files. I also ran games installed on the other partition on the Elite and it honestly felt no different to my Evo850 internal drive, so thats why I love it, plus its so dang small!

It was able to transfer 128 gb of video, in a single batch, to my Macbook pro in 20 minutes. For its first single batch of data transfer, not too shabby! I havent had a lot of playtime on this yet but will update my review when Ive got some more experience with it. Please let me know if you found my review helpful in the box down below.

Nice product

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.

It was least expensive SSD for 1GB capacity. Other stores were around $100 or more. Very compact and almost no weight comparing to external HDD. I was very satisfied.
