Pros & Cons
Pros
The pny 512gb pro elite v2 usb 3. Is a 512gb version of the pny pro elite version 2 and it's awesome. To be fair, it's a dell engineering workstation computer that has been upgraded with a fast solid state drive. It has a usb3. Gb linux distribution f... Read More
Patriot supersonic rage prime usb 3. Is the best usb drive on the market. Omg, omg. This is the rage," says one reviewer.
The sleek gunmetal design not only looks sleek but also feels robust in hand. It has a solid, weighted feel to it. Because it's metal, you have to be careful when removing it.
Sandisk's flash drive delivers blazing-fast transfer rates of up to 600mb/s. It works in high speed for uploads and downloads. After the fast cache was done, it sustained about 350 mb/s.
Storage capacity is well made due to its partly metal casement. I have the 256gb samsung fit, which is perfect for quick storage and cheap. It has my enormous password file (backed up of course) and other important files of mine.
Cons
It constantly disconnects itself from my laptop so that it is not seen by the operating system. The one place these keychain drives break is the plastic where they attach to a set of keys. It locks up, denies access to files, only shows 32gb when it s... Read More

As advertised - quality product - thanks!
I bought 5 usb drives because i couldn't trust the speed under a load by the reviews or the product description.
This drive destroys any other thumb drive i've used before, even my sandisk extreme pro can't keep up.
Price
Stay away from <$100 1tb flash drives.
There's a lot of fake flash drives out there that cost less than this one.
The value for the money makes it reliable but i mean for a flash drive to have a hard drive capacity i can understand.
The item provides value for the money, especially if you don't want to carry too many flash drives.
Packaging/appearance
It's actually 250gb unformatted capacity, not the 256gb as advertised or what's printed on the packaging.
· it's been reported by some review websites that it writes much faster than what the packaging states of 250 mb/s sequential w... Read More
As far as i'm concerned, they are the "same drive" performance wise, but with different chassis/pcb/packaging.
Competitiveness
I would definitely recommend choosing this model over the other cheaper pny versions as the write speed is way faster for susta... Read More
A much better quality than similar vendors and products.
I haven't been able to find a competitor and have considered buying a few of these to have in case pny stops making them.
The read/write speed for the above mentioned pny is consistently more than 5x faster than the sandisk mentioned above, and that... Read More
