Customers have good things to say about the ample storage, durability, and reasonable price of the PRO Elite 256GB USB 3.1 Flash Drive. Many appreciate its compact size and sleek design. Positive feedback also highlights the drive's performance. While some users noted the drive can get warm during extensive use, this was a relatively minor concern.

    Really fast for the first 5 min of use. Gets hot when moving more than 10Gb and slows down to a crawl.

    Solid, sleek construction in a compact design. I use this for transport between iMac and laptop when I'm working on audio production. So far, it works great. I bought it on sale, so the price was really nice too. It feels a little heavier and solid than thumb drives typically feel. I like that.

    PNY has been my go-to brand for thumb drives as an IT professional for years. Zero bloatware or proprietary encryption and have yet to have one fail. This model has done the same and feels professional as well.

    I was needing a new flash drive, since my old one was getting kinda slow and I needed a bigger one to store more files. So, I purchased this one and it was super fast to load files. I highly recommend it..

    Great product. I needed something that would hold several hundred photos and a couple PowerPoint presentations. I had to travel with this from Houston to Chicago to use the material for a memorial service so it was imperative that I could access the contents easily

    This flash drive is fast. Real world in a USB 3.1 port, I see around 330 MB/s read and 270 MB/s write (for large files). This is faster than a spinning external drive (e.g. USB 3.1 passport), so I am pretty happy.

    PNY does not disappoint with this flash drive because of its small size, quick file transfer via USB 3.0, and small, convenient size. I use this for immediate secondary backup or to transfer files for onsite customer training presentations.

    Sturdy drive for expanding storage capacity

    This USB drive is quick and transferring files to and from this device is easy. Windows 10 recognized it as soon as I inserted it into my PC and Android recognize it as well. The only thing I can fault this drive for is that it's slightly flimsy but it doesn't take away from it's performance. I'm thinking of purchasing more of these to expand the storage to my Android devices.

    This PNY Pro-Elite 256 GB flash drive is reasonably priced and has plenty of room to store my photos, mp3 music and mp4 video files. If I happen to fill this up (which is possible, but it would take a while) I will purchase another just like it.

    Great solid easy to use drive with decent storage. May not be as good as a larger solid state external for speed but great for throwing in your pocket or on a keychain to have available to transfer or backup files quickly.

    I use these flash drives to store files that just waste space on my computer. This is a good one. However, flash drives are coming down in price and going up in storage, so be selective when making a purchase.

    Used twice so far to transfer a large amount of files. It is fast and efficient. Like a portable hard drive without having to install software. Highly recommended for file transfers when you can't utilize an FTP site or sharing like Dropbox.
