Product Review; " I was pleasantly surprised to learn that a company like PNY actually chose to manufacture -or rather, assemble, in the USA in the 2020's, especially in a state like New York - and even more surprising, PNY was partnered with NVidia (a company now seemingly hellbent on diminishing the American people, once actually tried to support them - or at least inadvertently did at one time). Anyway, the XLR8 line of Sata III Solid State Drives were quite fast for the time, compact (standard 2.5") and didn't overheat, and are more durable than traditional spinning-disk hard drives, due to there being no moving parts. I used a the 480 GB version (in an external setup, with a Sata-to-USB adapter dongle) for a few years, to backup personal files and media libraries, before I eventually had to move to larger terrabyte sized storage options (of which I have not found any affordable domestically made options). It's really a shame PNY no longer even assembles these in the USA, I'm not even sure where they moved manufacturing to, as they have simply removed the "assembled in USA" label on the unit, and replaced it only with an empty blank spot, so be sure to check which version you're buying. There are still plenty of these drives floating around in online stores, so if you're trying to save money, or you don't need more than 480gb of storage, or want to upgrade from a spinning hard drive, or just want to seek out American-Assembled PC gear, be sure to grab up one of these high performance SSDs before they're all gone.
