I know a lot less about USB storage in those days and when the drive was delivered, I discovered why it was so cheap.

The PNY PRO Elite V3 demonstrates that the humble flash drive isn’t entirely dead and buried, with a model that delivers external SSD performance levels in a highly compact and robust form.

Recently, I relented and got myself a 128GB flash drive for backing up and transferring data to free up some space on my phone. The product I used was the PNY DUO LINK iOS USB 3.2 dual flash drive.

And, PNY makes a USB-C version of this drive, but none that offers both blade types. Unfortunately, I couldn’t hit the quoted read speeds, although I did hit the write performance PNY claims.
