    Fast, reliable and tons of space. Everything you want in a USB-drive. The material is nice and it seems like a good product.

    Pros: - Durable craftsmenship (metal with some weight to it). - Very fast transfer speeds. I formatted it to exFAT and transferred over 100GBs of video. It seemed to only take a couple minutes. - Slim design that helps when having to use in narrow plug-in port areas. - Reads very smoothly with no visible lag. Cons: - Gets kind of warm when reading or writing information, nothing too concerning though.

    This is well made and heavy for a flash drive - 512GM memory war more than I needed but it saved me when I downloaded all my old computer's primary data and loaded the data to the new computer. Was also very fast for both download and upload processes, Also like the cool metalic look! The mechanism that opens and closes the USB works great & shows very good build quality,

    This is a solidly built USB stick, and at 512 GB I won't fill it up so quickly. Being USB 3.1, I currently don't have anything working at that speed to test it, but it does seem to work very well and is future proof. Even on sale, it's still a bit on the pricier side, but I expect that to change as time passes.

    Works great as a Windows to Go device. Runs my install of Windows 10 and all my apps completely separate from the Encrypted Internal hard drive. It’s like having two completely separate computers in one. So now I have 1 machine for travel that does both Work AND Play.

    I bought this because I was converting DVD movies I own to MP4 format to play on my Roku Ultra. The drive had to be formatted for NTFS format to be able to transfer files larger than 4gb. The drive is very fast and the price was right! Definitely recommend!

    We used this to download Windows 10 and upload it to my new pc. I love having plenty of storage as a backup if needed and it worked perfectly for what we got it for! I also really like the design of it, it's not a boring cheap-feeling flash drive like other ones I've seen.

    Huge storage space and fast reads and writes. I am thoroughly impressed by the size and speed of this drive. It has nice fit and finish and feels like it is clad of metal. A good solid feel and very fast transfer speeds.

    Using this to plug into my laptop and store my iPhone backups so that I’m not taking up the space on the hard drive. Good price, fast, and has enough storage for my needs.

    Initially concerned in that I could only store 40GB on it. Opened a case with PNY support and they sent me a link to a utility to format the disk. This didn’t work so they sent me RMA information. Before returning it, I formatted the device via Windows. That worked! It’s fast from both a read and write perspective. Good product with terrible technical support.

    Maybe got golden sample or maybe it likes MacOS. Moving a 60 GB test folder full of random large and small files to the drive twice, was seeing a write of around 350-480 MB/s writes constantly for the whole 120 GB write. Then doing read test by imaging the drive(dd|pv|pigz). While reading the empty space, seeing consistently 580 MB/s reads. (465GiB 0:15:34 [ 510MiB/s] -Time to read and compress full drive) Then moving the image(59.96 GB) of drive the back onto the drive, it was a constant 520~ MB/s write. Can't speak to the long term drive endurance, but initially very fast.
