Today, we’ll be taking a quick look at the PNY RP60 USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C Portable SSD. It has a total capacity of 1TB and features a fast USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C interface, that offers read speeds of up to 2,000 MB/sec and a write speed of up to 1,800 MB /sec. It’s available in 1TB or 2TB capacities.
The PNY RP60 has a compact and lightweight design, featuring a clip loop so that you can easily slide it into your pocket or secure it onto your belt or backpack.
The SSD is pretty compact and light-weight, measuring only 3.83 x 2.36 x 0.49 inches and weighing in at only 100g. It’s encased in a durable silicone shell and is IP65 rated for water and dust-resistance. It’s also drop-resistant from a height of up to 3-meters.
The PNY RP60 is compatible with a wide range of devices, including iPhone 15 series, iPad, iPad Pro, Android phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, and gaming consoles.
And as an added bonus, the package includes Acronis True Image Data Protection software to help backup and recover all your important data.

To test the PNY RP60 portable SSD, we used our desktop PC which features the fast USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C port, as found on the Asus Strix Z790-E Gaming motherboard. Please note that not all PCs or laptops feature this port, so check your manual.
