PNY Introduces Rapid-Paced RP60 High-Performance SSD Storage Solution
Introducing PNY's latest innovation – the RP60 SSD. This pocket-sized powerhouse boasts high-speed data transfer with USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 support, making it mere inches larger than a credit card and just as thin as a chocolate bar.
The RP60 is tailored for digital nomads and mobile professionals, featuring a USB-C port and a robust silicone shell that can clip onto belts, backpacks, or camera bags. The durable design shields it from physical drops, water splashes, sand, and dust. The USB-C port sports a removable silicone cover, safeguarding the interface from moisture and dirt intrusion.
In terms of velocity, the RP60 boasts read speeds up to 2,000 MB/s and a peak sequential write speed of 1,800 MB/s, with compatibility across an array of devices, thanks to USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 support. However, in real-world testing with an Apple Mac mini M2 Pro, I recorded slightly lower speeds of 863.5/731.1 MB/s.
Constructed with durability in mind, the RP60 is put through rigorous environmental tests and, according to PNY, exceeds most ruggedness expectations. It's rated IP65 for water and dust resistance and is drop-resistant from heights of up to 3 meters.
The RP60's compatibility with USB Type-C allows it to work with a broad range of devices, including Apple iPhones, iPads, Android phones, laptops, desktops, and gaming consoles. The package includes Acronis True Image data protection software to help secure your data backups and restorations.
