PNY 1TB PRO Elite V3 USB 3.2 Gen 2 Flash Drive, up to 1000MB/s Read, up to 800MB/s Write, Extreme Performance for Professional Data Storage and Transfers, Premium Metal Design, Type-A Connector

This is a best in class USB flash drive. I purchased the 1TB model and I use it for DJing. For this purpose I need the utmost of reliability and I have not had a PNY Elite flash drive ever bite the dust on me. Speed is also very nice to have as I'm usually rushing off to a gig and need my music to load to the drive quickly. Also I can queue up a 3 hour set on a CDJ with this and I don't have to wait for it to load. Other drives will have me waiting longer for sure.File transfer is fast, my music collection is about 500GB, and I haven't been able to load it onto a drive faster than with this one. I also have and use a competing brand's elite 1TB flash drive as a backup, but this one is what I prefer to use as it is just a bit faster. I'm forced to format this to FAT32 so it can work with DJ gear like CDJs, but even so this drive seems to work swiftly.The form factor and sliding connection terminal are both great, and durability has never been an issue. I tale care of my drives well for the most part, but I still need to bring them to rainy festival gigs, dusty burning man, and nights in the city where things get sloppy come 5am.The V3 is a clear step up from the V2 in terms of speed. Otherwise they seem about the same. I have and use both in the 1TB size. And previously the main flash drive I was using was a 512GB V2 version of this, the upgrade is noticed when I load my music.Overall a best in class device with ample space (for now). I reckon in 3 years I'll need a 2TB or 1.5TB version, but for now this one is bound to last me through many gigs and trips. This drive will outcompete it's pricier competitors, sometimes you can pay less and get more when things are designed better.

So far no problems, speeds while using Linux reach very close to the advertised speeds. On windows it's usually around 400-500Mb/s.Much better than the last PNY USB I had which has massive issues with writing. No such issues on this one.

This 1 TB flash drive is amazing. I tried to copy a very large folder to a 256GB flash drive and it took several days to transfer all the files. I then tried to copy the same folder to the 1TB PNY PRO Elite V3 USB 3.2 and it only took a few hours. (Sorry, I did not keep track of the actual time). Copying other files and folders also went amazingly fast.Ok, I’m hooked. Any future flash drive purchases will be the same because of speed and ease of inserting flash drive in USB port without interfering with neighboring flash drives.Note: The flash drive did get warm after a few hours. This is warmer than my other flash drives but definitely not warm enough to be of concern (I hope).

It's a great solid device! It gives a real sense of security.

Super! Vielen Dank!
