About this product
The PNY EliteX-PRO 2TB Portable SSD delivers high-speed storage with a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C interface. It boasts a read speed of 1600MB/s, designed for efficiency across Mac and PC systems. This 2.5-inch form factor portable drive comes in black and offers a substantial 2TB storage capacity. Part of the XLR8 product line, it represents a performance-oriented external SSD solution for users requiring both space and speed.
Our take
I recently had a look at the PNY EliteX-PRO 2TB Portable SSD, and it certainly targets users who need significant speed. The 2TB capacity is excellent for professionals or anyone with large media libraries. The standout feature is its USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C interface, supporting a rapid 1600MB/s read speed, which is impressive for external storage. While the write speed is vaguely listed as "2x," and the transfer rate is confusingly also stated as "550 Mbps," the read speed alone suggests strong performance. It's a solid choice for Mac and PC users who prioritize fast access to a large amount of data.
