But... they are not good. It takes a long long time to even see what's in a folder. It takes a long long time to eject. I called PNY, and they sais it was the operating system fault.... ok, but other thumb drives that use the adapters work fine. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ PNY Elite 256GB 3.1 Type C Drive *by D***H on Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2019* Nice drive for the price. Larger capacity allows you to save lots of data.I have read reviews on other name brand drives that stated drives got very hot when writing data. I chose this one due to no negative reviews concerning this. In my experience, all drives will get warm to the touch, as they create heat when doing so. When writing large amounts of data to this drive, it does get warm, but not extremely hot as other drives were reviewed.I am a linux user, and found the drive does not work the best when using the format (Fat32) that was on the drive. I formatted mine to ext4 journaling which is what newer version of linux use, which windows OS does not like at all (At least not the 8.1 or older - I do not use windows 10 so I don't know if it works with it). The drive is not usable in my older windows PC's as they all have the non type c USB ports and I have no need to use it with them as I have USB drives specifically for them.All in all this is a good drive with a good capacity to store a lot of data and has a well known name (PNY) which has been around for some time, and at a good price. ### ⭐ Hard to use with MacBook Pros, EXTREMELY SLOW *by C***F on Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2020* If you have a MacBook pro with only 2 USB-C ports, the size of this will block the other port.It also has the slowest speed of any type of drive I've ever had. I have it filled about 1/2 way with videos and it can take up to 10 minutes for a video to load. It's utterly ridiculous and makes it almost unusable. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/139156906-pny-256gb-elite-usb-3-1-gen-1-type-c](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/139156906-pny-256gb-elite-usb-3-1-gen-1-type-c) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-11-04*
