Silicon Power PC60: slower, but stable and mainly cheap

Conclusion

External SSDs are one of the newest types of computer accessories, and I’ve got to like them in recent years. Compared to USB memory sticks, they offer higher speeds and, above all, higher capacity. Yet at the same time, they are still small enough for comfortable carrying in a pocket. We’ve expanded our results database of tested storages with the low-budget PC60 model from Silicon Power.

Conclusion

Silicon Power PC60 is a slightly controversial product, as synthetic tests show poorer performance than specified, and this is confirmed in practice. The manufacturer saved on the components and the outer plastic case, which, however, allowed them to reduce the production price and the 960 GB version is available for very interesting money. Although the SSD is slower (but always keeps its speed), it is also reflected in the very attractive price, which can be the key factor.

Of course, you can’t expect to get premium features in this price range, such as a metal body, water resistance, sophisticated software or hardware encryption. If these things are a priority for you, you will have to reach for one of the more expensive models. However, the PC60 is more than sufficient SSD for relatively fast data transfers and as external storage for a computer, laptop or game console. And thanks to its low weight, it won’t even make your pants sag. Given the price, a 3-year warranty can also be considered decent.

From a rational point of view, however, such a concept should be marginal and replaced by SFF. A traditional PC can be tiny, powerful, and silent at the same time. And its equipment does not have to limit you. Read more ““Modern desktop based on Mini-STX” by HWCooling.net” »
