PNY - Elite 240GB External USB 3.0 Portable Solid State Drive - Aluminum

As a volunteer for my local Public radio station I have to transport large files between Mac to edit on PC. Before purchasing this drive it might take up to to 4 1/2 hours to load files to a thumb drive. With this drive I find that the same file will load in about 6 minutes. The drive comes formatted as Xfat that is compatible on both platforms with current OS. I found that it is not compatible with some older systems like Windows XP without reformatting, but very few examples are still in use. This tiny drive, except for the USB cord, will easily fit into the watch pocket of your favorite jeans but can transport tons of data between point A to B, and/or PC to Mac.

This external drive is a little bigger than a standard flash drive, but smaller than your normal external drives. It's a perfect size to fit in your pocket or bag. It upload and download files quick. While I have not personally did a spec test, every performance was quick and efficient when used. The 240 GB space is great for a small drive.

Needed more storage for photos, music and other media files, typically would pick up an additional micro SD type card, but spotted this on the shelf and went for it. For the price, hard to beat i think. It's well made, transfers files quickly, and is plenty portable. Works great for my needs.

It may be really small physically but it packs a ton of space digitally. Very light and really fast. Have it to a client to put all their content on it for a corporate event. It was very fast and perfect. Hard to believe there’s as much space with the size of it.

Did some research on this item before purchase and I was so excited to have one available at my local store. Kind of a odd size, but still plenty of room for my needs. After looking at the stats I was looking forward to get this on my computer. Well it is faster than any external drive I have ever owned. It is still not faster than my extreme flash drive. The diags for this, rated the speed around 180-200 mbs ( was supposed to be up to 5gbs via USB 3.0). I am happy with it as is, but wish it was closer to the advertised speed. I can play all my online games on it with no issues. Run heavy programs like Photoshop and Premiere with little to no lag. So all in all I was glad I got it and wished I could have afforded the larger version.

I've used this with Windows 10 and my Pixelbook (Chrome OS) with no issues. Very speedy transfers, which makes it my go to when I need to copy large files like VM images or ISOs. The only thing that could make it better is if it used a new style USB C connector, but that's a very minor complaint.

I purchased this primarily to record live music to it, which it has done flawlessly. Have found it handy for transferring large video files between locations. Very fast transfer over USB 3.0 and 2.0. Small enough to drop into my pocket with the short USB cord still attached. Will probably buy another one.

I purchased this since I'm working from home, and I needed something to store work documentation on. I guarantee that when I'm done this is going to be my travel external drive! I was extremely surprised at the small size.
