Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is the PNY PRO Elite V2 128GB flash drive?

PNY rates it at up to 600MB/s read and up to 500MB/s write over USB 3.2 Gen 2, or up to 165x faster than a standard USB 2.0 flash drive. Speeds on your device depend on the port and the type of file.

Does the PNY PRO Elite V2 work with an iPhone?

Yes, on Type-C iPhones and iPads: iPhone 15 and 3rd Gen iPad or newer. You open the drive in the Files app that is already on the device, so you don't need a separate app. Lightning-port iPhones are not supported.

Can I use this USB-C drive with an older USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 computer?

Yes. It is backwards compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 1, USB 3.0 and USB 2.0, but transfers run at that older port's speed. The connector is Type-C, so a computer with only USB-A ports needs an adapter.

Does it work with Android phones and tablets?

Yes. PNY lists Android phones and tablets with a Type-C port as compatible. You open the drive from the Android drop-down menu without installing an extra app.

What warranty comes with the PNY PRO Elite V2?
