Portable data warehouses from Silicon Power

Two more of our competitors still hold the "outdated" views of magnetic data storage, that is, on this page we are able to pull the veil off a pair of portable HDDs. However, it is not just any device, as these two Silicon Power products provide extra protection against external influences.

The manufacturer is serious about the latter, and nothing proves this better than the A10 series conforming to variant 2000 of the MIL-STD-1F standard (series) issued by the United States Department of Defense and effective January 810, 516.5. , which applies to shocks / vibrations. (The military's current MLT-STD-810G is effective October 2008, 31.) This means that A112s can withstand a fall of up to 10 centimeters without data loss, even on a concrete-hard surface - and of course this applies to all sides and corners of the device. .

After that, we can no longer be surprised by the streamlined, rounded shapes, the hard rubber-plastic outer cover that promises to be very durable. Another thing to note about the A10s is the R / W button, which allows you to save your data easily and quickly - and which glows blue next to the red activity HDD LED. We won't have a problem connecting to the computer either, as the most common interface, the USB port, can be found on the side of our widget.

Let's look at the two A10 specifications that came with us:

  • Capacity: 250 and 320 GB
  • Size: 2,5 ″
  • Connector: (mini) USB 2.0
  • Software: OTB (data backup and security), Norton Anti-Virus (trial version)
  • Dimensions: 136.0 × 82.5 × 19.8 (mm)
  • Weight: 200 g
