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

Pny is a good brand

I didn’t know that storage of this capacity could be packed into a package that small. This thing is literally about the size of a cigarette lighter and can hold a terabyte of information.

When I received the item it was even smaller then I thought it would be it fits perfectly in my pocket with all kinds of other stuff in there with it perfect for me to carry for my phones extra storage

does the work, worth the money.

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.

I wanted to back up my videos and photos (I have a lot). This very compact hard drive has plenty of room and is economical and works in both my USB 2 and USB 3 ports. Its as easy to use as a thumb drive.

By far the slowest drive I have owned. I have 6 external drives because I am a professional Videographer. The write spend on this SSD has never gone above 40MB/s and the read speed has never gone above 100MB/s. This is WAY Far below the industry standard (even for the cheapest solid state drive on the market). Once again.... You get what you pay for. The extra $40 for a good drive would have saved me tons of time loading and editing. Again.. this SSD is even slower than most other Budget SSDs. So, its back to SanDisk and Samsung for me. Less learned.

Versatile, light weight and capacious. i like it.

Performs as described. Mine does not get hot.

Only issue is the extremely short cord.
