What customers say about "Size & Weight"
PNY Pro Elite 128GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive
  • The drive itself is quite heavy and feels classy.
  • Very small sized: it fits together into an USB slot with any other device next by.
  • The size, build, and cost are the biggest advantages of this drive.
  • Super compact size, no annoying activity light either.
  • The metal construction makes it a little heavier than my all plastic encased PNY drives.

  • The PNY usb 3.1 is a handy size with an easy to open/close over on the connector.
  • Fast, convenient, small, and highly capacious. Thanks!

What customers say about "Features"
PNY Pro Elite 128GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive
  • Metal construction makes the device appear solid and sturdy.
  • Key ring slot is sturdy and appears that it will hold up longer than their all plastic flash drives.
  • The read speeds in particular are amazing. I'm very happy with the size, material, and cost of this drive.
  • It feels very high quality with the metal housing.
  • The read speeds are amazing. I'm very happy with the size, material, and cost of this drive.
PNY Elite-X 128GB USB 3.1 Gen 1 Flash Drive
  • Huge capacity. Very reliable. Works perfectly for read/write duties, and opens large-size files easily.
  • Speed is as advertised when using a USB 3 port, and is back compatible with USB 2.
  • This device performs as advertised, and holds a great deal of data. I didn't rate durability because I just received it, but I expect it to hold stored data well for a long period of time.
  • As with all USB 3.0 drives, it is blazing fast, when paired with the proper port. Comes FAT32 formatted and has been solid for me for weeks.
  • The drive is very slow and erratic in terms of write speed. It varies (jumps back and forth) between 60 MB/s and 80 MB/s.
