In the summer of 2018, PNY became only the second company to release a 512GB MicroSD card (and the first to go on sale in the US). The company is back with an updated model, as well as several flash drives including a USB Type-C option.The new PNY range is headlined by the upgraded Pro Elite 512GB MicroSD card, which offers a minor spec improvement over its predecessor with a U3 bus speed instead of U1, meaning a guaranteed minimum write speed of 30MB/s (and up to 90MB/s). Read speeds of up to 100MB/s and A2 app performance is also offered by this Class 10, UHS-1, V30 MicroSDXC card. PNY promises better 4K video recording performance than before, with enough space for more than 29 hours of the stuff.At $349.99, the original wasn't cheap, although we have seen it as low as $240 on sale since it launched, and it's currently 0 on Amazon. Pricing for the new model hasn't yet been announced, but there appears to be an Amazon listing for it already showing the same $280 price.

PNY is also launching several new flash drives, among them its first 1TB offering. The 1TB Pro Elite USB 3.0/3.1 drive comes boasts transfer speeds of up to 400MB/s Read and 250MB/s Write. Another new model, the 265GB Elite-X Fit flash drive in a slight frame perfect for slim laptops and transfer speeds of up to 200 MB/s.

Last but not least, PNY will release the Elite Type-C USB 3.1 Gen 1 flash drive, with storage options ranging from 64 to 512GB and a compact push and pull design. Speeds of up to 130 MB/s are promised. There's no info on pricing just yet, but all 4 products will go on sale this month so we'll soon find out.
