    Compact, high capacity and pretty fast!
    Got this to replace my 256gb Corsair Voyager GTX...Overall its really nice drive! After doing some speed tests with CrystalDisk it is clear that my Corsair Voyager is a bit faster whether running NTFS or exFAT. I have seen a few reviewers that have posted pics of CrystalDisk that seem to show numbers much higher in some areas than I could get, which I find a little strange, but I'm sure there are other factors in play here. The build quality is nice, though it would be great if it came with some kind of chain to allow you to attach it to a key-chain without worrying about the plastic parts breaking under torsion. I love that I don't have to keep track of a lid, and I love that it fits in any USB slot without blocking neighboring ports (a major issue with my voyager). I fill up USB drives really quickly and this is the perfect size physically for nearly 500GB (470 available) of storage!! My corsair voyager acts a bit differently when connected to a PC, so I have to be careful when ejecting it, but this PNY drive is great about not getting "stuck" and unable to eject like other high capacity flash drives I have come across. Overall a great tool for file storage or IT techs that need to have lots of stuff on hand and ready to use at any time!

    5.0 out of 5 stars They keep getting faster
    Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2022
    I've purchased 3 of these. The first that I purchased when they first came out was very slow, but 1TB and small size made it worth it. The most recent from a month ago is very fast. Now I have it all (capacity, small size, fast)!

    On all of these, I wanted it to fit into my wallet (see photo) so I removed the case. I cut it off with a Dremel tool. The case is a nice high quality cast aluminum (not plastic) case, but was too big for my needs. I have no problems with heat whatsoever reading and writing 100s of GB in one go. Do be careful handling a bare unprotected PC board though!

    Reviewed in Germany on October 19, 2022
    Auf der Suche nach einem schnellen Stick habe ich die gänigen Portale durchsucht. Richtig überzeugend waren die bekannten Hersteller leider nicht, sowohl vom Handling als auch von den Leitungsdaten.
    Auf dem Portal SSD-Tester aus Österreich bin ich durch die guten Punkte im Score-Vergleich auf den Stick gestoßen, da liegt er derzeit (19.10.2022) auf Platz 5 u.a. hinter dem TeamGroup Team C212 256GB, Kingston DataTraveler Max 256GB und Corsair Flash Voyager GTX 256GB.

    Mir gefällt natürlich die schnelligkeit von dem Stick, angegeben mit Lesegeschwindigkeit von 400 MB/s und einer Schreibgeschwindigkeit 180 MB/s. Auf dem Portal getestet mit einer Schreibgeschwindigkeit 419 MB/s und Lesegeschwindigkeit 290 MB/s. Meiner hat im Auslieferungszustand, also gerade erst erhalten) 450 MB/s und 280 MB/s. Er ist bereits ab Werk mit FAT32 formatiert.

    Beim CrystalDiskMark-Test mit 1GB wurde er etwas mehr als Handwarm, also top. Tatsächlich ist die Slider kappe aus massivem Metall, das finde ich ja mal großartig! Wird dann also auch noch gekühlt bzw besser Wärme abgeleitet. Nichts aufgedruckt, sondern gelasert sollte lange halten. Slider funktioniert stramm aber gut, sodass das Stecken nicht behindert wird. LED fehlt, aber was solls...
    Lieferung über AgentOrangeShop dauerte 2 Tage und Luftpolsterumschlag mit ülicher Produktverpackung, Gesamtpreis 46,06€. Made in Taiwan! Hoffe meine Fotos und das kleine Video sind nützlich.
