Silicon Power Armor A85 2.5" SP040TBPHDA85S3S 4 TB

Armored

As the name Armor suggests, the main feature of this drive is its three-layer armor. It includes built-in suspension and a rubber disc cover, as well as a durable aluminium shroud to protect against external impacts. Thanks to this, the flask-like Power Armor A85 is able to withstand external pressure up to 500 kg and safely survive drops from a height of 1 metre. In addition, the textured surface is resistant to scratches, stains and dirt. Given the low price, such protection will be a bonus for those who travel frequently and are not ready to risk the safety of data when transporting a disk.

Cable holder

The length of the cable in the kit is 45 cm. On the one hand, a longer cable can interfere and twist on the table, on the other hand, the length from the table to the back of the PC may not be enough. But the A85 is equipped with a rubber pad, with which cables can be fixed on its side surface. Such mounts are a hundred years old at lunchtime, however, for the sake of thin and stylish cases, they are now much less common than before.

USB 3.1 Gen2

The drive itself runs on USB version 3 and is compatible with USB 2.0. It boasts a spindle speed of 5400 rpm and shows good maximum sequential read and write data at 118 and 117 MB / s, respectively. Traditionally, the kit includes a set of software: SP Widget for encrypting and backing up files and HDD Lock Utility for setting a password.
