Our take on the PNY Pro Elite V2 1TB Portable SSD

The PNY Pro Elite V2 is a USB bus-powered portable SSD in a 2.5-inch form factor, rated up to 1,100MB/s read and 1,000MB/s write over USB 3.2 Gen 2. It ships with Acronis True Image data protection software and a protective casing, and works with Windows and macOS out of the box. It suits gamers moving large game libraries and anyone shuttling big files between machines. Against Samsung T7 and SanDisk Extreme rivals it holds its own on sequential speed but lacks hardware encryption and an IP rating, so buyers who need ruggedness or built-in security should look elsewhere.
