Silicon Power Armor A80 portable hard drive

The Armor A80 is the first device from Silicon Power I've seen, and it's impressive. The drive is waterproof, rugged, and most importantly very fast, according to my testing. Despite all that, it still manages to be as compact as other portable drives that are based on 2.5-inch standard internal hard drives. It's also bus-powered. The only shortcoming the A80 has, if any, is that it uses A-male-to-A-male USB cable, which is harder to run across than regular A-male-to-B-male USB cable. To make up for this, the drive comes with two cables, one of which is short enough to tuck inside a groove on the drive's side. If you can live with this odd choice of the USB cable, at a street price of around $135 for 1TB, Silicon Power's Armor A80 makes an excellent portable hard drive to use on the go or at home. The Silicon Power Armor A80 looks like a typical portable drive. Measuring 5.5 inches by 3.7 inches by .7 inch, the drive is compact. It's also very light, weighing just about half a pound. On one side, the drive has a deep groove that holds its short 4-inch USB 3.0 cable. This cable-carry design makes the drive very convenient to use on the go with a laptop.

Silicon Power A80 USB3.0 Portable Hard Drive

After years of waiting for the USB 3.0 spec to be written up and released to consumers we finally have a solid USB interface that is fast enough to meet the growing need for fast access portable storage! Let me introduce one particular USB 3.0 product that features this cutting edge 3.0 interface, the Silicon Power Armor A80 portable hard drive. With an ample 640GB of storage ready to rock ‘n\' roll Silicon Power provides a storage solution ready to please. Not only is the hard drive capacity large and the form factor small enough to take on the road, the drive is waterproof and shockproof (3rd party tested) making this portable hard drive a cut above the rest. With it rugged abilities, hi-speed interface, and 640 GB of storage goodness this drive promises to be a winner for many storage hungry users. The drive arrived in a standard cardboard/plastic opening package showing off its simple yet sleek steel blue casing. The smooth exterior, covered USB port, and short cable stored on the drive's side casing are the true signs of a well thought out design. Unlike many other drives on the market the Armor A80 also features a military-grade tested design that ensures your data is safe even after drops or spills.
