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

Great storage

As others have stated, the drive arrived DOA. Just shows up as Not Initialised on 3 separate computers. Tried multiple USB cables, nothing works. UPDATE: Received a replacement which seems to be working well so far. I love the product and its form factor but I do still have doubts about how long it will last.

Bought two of these for use on RPi 4. Both worked very well for a few months. Then one started to report bad blocks and require fsck every boot. After a few days even this failed and the drive never worked again. The other one is still working fine after several months. So I gave 3 stars as average of 1 and 5.

Appears to work fine

I LOVE THIS. BOUGHT IT TO PUT PICTURES ON IT BECAUSE IT IS SO CONVENIENT TO TAKE WITH ME IN MY PURSE WHEN VISITING FRIENDS OR RELATIVES THAT I WANT TO SHOW PHOTOS TO.

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

I bought this for my XBox 1S to store games on and make them run faster. Primarily PUBG. Yes. I bought this SSD to play one game whose developers cant seem to be able to make this game run smooth without devoting every single resource the console has. And it still runs terribly. The SSD makes a world of difference though. Loads other games faster and provides more storage space. Thinking about buying another one for my laptop. Size cant be beat.

Backing up my folders on my PC

Got this to POC an IoT raspberry pi system. It works fine. I can boot from the SSD (after updating the appropriate settings). For some reasons this review wants me to mention traveling and warmth, but neither are relevant to my implementation.

I bought this 960G as an upgrade to its little brother (the 240G model that I bought a few years back. the 240G is still working great.) I use it to extend the drive on my laptop (because the build-in drive is not user-serviceable). I just needed more drive space. my advice: to get the full speed, use the cable that comes with the drive and do not use an extender.
