Review on πŸ’Ύ PNY Elite-X 256GB USB 3.1 Gen 1 Flash Drive, Fast Read Speeds up to 200MB/s (P-FD256ELX-GE) by Kenneth Barnes

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Slow as molasses in winter

My 1TB iMac was half done and wanted to move 300GB or 400GB to a flash drive. The first batch was 133 GB and should have taken 2 hours. After 2 hours they said it was 3 hours. After 3 hours the download info said it would take 4 hours. It took over 12 hours (I went to bed) to move 133 GB. Then when all 389GB (total) was moved to the flash drive I plugged it in. She didn't show any files. I went online and waited a bit. When I came back it showed that there were indeed files in the 133GB video folder, but when I clicked on the file it showed no content. After an hour, the elements in the file were visible. Trying to play videos on this flash drive is crazy. The video starts and stops and then skips, which was not the case with my iMac's hard drive. If you need something for video storage, don't buy this slow boat to China.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
