PNY 256GB Duo Link USB 3.2 Type-C Dual Flash Drive for Android Devices and Computers - External Mobile Storage for Photos, Videos, and More - 200MB/s

Works well

The reading and writing speeds are very fast.And it is very convenient to use.I later bought another one.

It is small and handy between phone or tablet android based. It does not claim to write faster than usb 2.0. It reads much faster. I see some folks got defective physical C usb connector. The 3 I have are not defective. I made Acronis rescue media and restored 40gb to my bitlocked laptop. I am happy with how fast it restored. I did have one device that windows 11 had trouble formatting to ntfs. That sort of scared me but it did format fine in another laptop. If the build issue still exists I don't see it any I have. Everything about it is in written form on the back. Maybe there are faster write speeds but not with the phone usb C support. This a unique product. Based on current 3.2 USB but that only means you can plug it to something 3.2 there aren't claims to support optimal 3.2 transfer speeds. I could not find another small device like this to go between machines with differing physical connections. I'm only worried about the one that was tricky to format.

This flash drive works really well! It’s fast, reliable, and super convenient with both USB-C and USB-A connectors. I just wish it came with a cap or some kind of cover to protect the ends—especially when carrying it around on a keychain. Still, it’s a solid product and perfect for transferring files between devices.

This drive is extremely small. I mean, small. The smallest flash drive I've ever had. I also love that it has both USB A and USB C. I have multiple devices I need to connect this to. Some of them only have USB A ports and some only have C ports. Tip, if you're going to be using the device with multiple operating systems like myself, reformat the drive to the exFAT standard. By default the drive is formatted as FAT. Which while yes, it works with any OS, it only supports individual files being up to 4gb in size. When you purchase a 256gb drive its safe to assume you're going to want to put files larger than 4gb on it. So make sure to reformat it to the modern exFAT standard. Strange that this is the decision they made. Can only imagine the number of people that likely return it because they try to transfer a large file over and it just gives them an error due to the default formatting method. It's a simple fix that should be the default for how this device is shipped. That being said, just reformat it to exFAT and it's perfect.

Purchased February 2024. Used a little bit during the summer of 2024, late Dec. 2024-early Jan. 2025, part of March 2025 and April 2025. Then I put it in a computer at work...it didn't show up but it had on that same computer a few days before. I tried it at home again on both my desktop and laptop still did not show up. I brought it to IT at work no matter what they did it still did not show up. Hopefully, I have the files on it on another drive. But it was great while it lasted. I really liked having the usb c since my laptop only has 2 regular usb ports and my mouse receiver is always in one of them. I would have rated it higher but since it is no longer usable it gets 1 star.

Works well. Bridges between the two connectors when you don't know where you'll need to plug it in

Great storage & speed. It doesn't get hot when in use, unlike some other brands. I wish they made this style in a larger capacity.
