PNY is expanding its PRO Elite V3 USB flash drive lineup with three new USB-C models – PRO Elite V3 Type-C, Elite-X Fit Type-C USB 3.2, and Elite Type-C USB 3.2. Today’s announcement is headlined by the extreme-performance PRO Elite V3 model that delivers read and write speeds of up to 1,000MB/s and 800MB/s, respectively. The other two models top out at relatively lower speeds, though they’re more compact, are available in a lower 64GB capacity, and are also quite affordable with a 64GB 3-pack of the most compact model at just $27.99 shipped. Head below for more details and a closer look at the drives.
PNY’s ultra-fast PRO Elite V3 USB flash drives are now official
Leading the pack in PNY’s USB-C PRO Elite V3 flash drives is the aptly named PRO Elite V3 Type-C model. This is the fastest unit out of the bunch that comes in 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB capacities, and they all use USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface to deliver read and write speeds of up to 1,000MB/s and 800MB/s, respectively. A speedy flash drive like this is suitable for those working with large files and resource-intensive applications. The fact that these new units come with a Type-C connector means you can even use them directly with your smartphones that have a Type-C port and easily transfer large files, media, and more.
As far as the build quality is concerned, you are looking at a durable unit with a sleek and modern design featuring a metal housing. The PRO Elite V3 model has a sliding cap design to protect the USB connector when not in use, and it also has an integrated key loop for added convenience.
The Elite-X Fit and the Elite Type-C flash drives are relatively more affordable models in the lineup and are available in capacities ranging from 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB. The Elite-X Fit drive tops out at 200MB/s transfer speed whereas the Elite Type-C drive can go up to 120MB/s. Both of these models feature a Type-C USB 3.2 Gen 1 connector, making them compatible with a variety of devices including smartphones, modern laptops, and more.
The new PNY Elite PRO V3 flash drives debuted today are now available to purchase via PNY’s official site and some via the brand’s Amazon storefront like this 3-pack of Elite-X Fit Type-C USB 3.2 drive at $27.99 shipped. The prices for the most expensive PRO Elite V3 Type-C USB flash drive unit starts at $29.99 shipped, with its 2TB unit costing as much as $144.99 shipped.
