This works great for Tesla dashcam and video recording. Plugged it into the car, formatted the disk and started working immediately!

This seems to be a really nice SSD. It seems to be of solid construction. It is small, just a little larger than a standard USB Thumb drive. I was impressed with the transfer speed when I loaded 350 GB of data to it. Actual times of around 7-7.5GB per minute from one external hard drive to this SSD. Given the age of the PC and the Ext. Drive holding the data, I am impressed. My only wish was that it had been "C" port capable. I expected it to heat up quickly and get very warm, I was pleasantly surprised at how little heat was present after some large transfers. So, I am quite happy with this purchase. If you need to take 480GB of DATA with you when you leave home, this is a good way to do it.

I passed this by at its regular selling price, but when I saw it on sale, I didn't hesitate. Now I'm sorry that I didn't check to see if I could get two at the sale price.

I simply plugged this into a USB 3.0 port an ultralight laptop with an Intel Core i7 running under Windows 10.

Using Crystal DiskMark 5, this wonderful little drive clocked better than 400 Mb/S on Read and Write!

I got this primarily for use with my laptop when I travel and do photo and video editing.

It weighs practically nothing, is very small and fast.

Everything I could want. I'm going to keep my eyes open for the next time it is offered at a sale price on Amazon and get a second.

Pros:
1. Fast enough to edit photos from
2. Very small and light
3. Included cord has held up well

Cons:
1. Read/Write speed not quite as fast as advertised

A little background about me:
I'm a college student working as a photographer about 35 hours per week, and I shoot 3000-4000 images in a normal month. If I travel somewhere cool, the monthly shutter count can be closer to 6000. Needless to say, I'm in constant need of storage space, especially since MacBook disk space is so precious (mine has the 250GB drive).

I have a WD MyBook 4TB drive that sits on my desk at school, and it's pretty fast and very reliable. However, I have two problems with it:
1. It sits on my desk (external power adapter)
2. It's fast, but not fast enough to edit from (easily)

This PNY Elite SSD solves both of those problems! I use Lightroom to import photos from my SD card to the SSD, and it really is as fast as advertised! Several GBs of photos in a matter of seconds. The write speed is plenty fast enough so that Lightroom/Photoshop editing is not laggy, which was my main concern with any external drive. Like I mentioned, the WD MyBook HDD just wasn't fast enough, so that in order to maintain my sanity, I had to import photos to my internal drive, edit, export, and then transfer the files to the external hard drive. Then, I couldn't keep the photos with me. Now, I import directly to this SSD, edit and export, and put the drive in my backpack! It's small and light enough to actually let dangle by the cord without any worry of damaging the USB port of the laptop or the drive. Also, it's built super-solidly, and I'd have no reservations about carrying it in my pocket at all. I've had this thing for a few months now, and the port on the device has not loosened significantly, which is a problem I've experienced with other drives.

All in all, I'm happy to recommend the PNY Elite SSD to anyone needing a small, lightweight, blazingly fast storage solution!

Drive works well. The cable that came with it was faulty.
