Our verdict

A fast dual connector flash drive that moves large files between phones and computers. Thick phone cases can block the USB-C plug, and top speed needs the fastest USB port type.

Overview

A camera bag, a laptop sleeve or a phone pocket is where this PNY drive lives, carrying files between a USB-C phone and a USB-A computer. A metal swivel covers one plug while the other is in use.

Fast transfers in a small drive that fits both old and new ports is the reason to buy. Rated speeds need the fastest USB port generation, and older ports will run much slower.

Who it's for

Content creators and travelers moving big files between phone and computer gain the most. People storing sensitive data should choose a drive with encryption.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Fast read and write speeds
  • Fits USB-C and USB-A ports
  • Metal swivel body
  • Works with recent iPhones and iPads
Cons
  • Phone cases may block the plug
  • No encryption listed
  • Full speed only on Gen 2 ports

Performance notes

Transfer speed depends on the host port, with full speed only on the newest USB generation and lower rates on older ports. Sustained writes on large files can drop below the peak figure as the drive fills. A bulky phone case can stop the USB-C plug from seating fully.
