Storage/Other by stefan @ 2016-02-18

Mobile C80 USB Flash Drive from Silicon Power is incorporating the Type C connector for compatibility with the latest mobile devices on the market, but also features the regular Type-A USB 3.0 port on the opposite side for general purpose. While the read speeds hover around 130MB/s when transferring large files, the writes hover around 11MB/s which should be enough when saving a backup of our photo collection from our newly-purchased smartphone.

Packaging, A Closer Look

One of the latest USB Flash Drives from Silicon Power which is named Mobile C80 wants to take one step further by incorporating the Type-C connector, often found in latest generation mobile devices. Of course, for general compatibility we also have one standard USB Type-A port available on the opposite side, but let’s take a closer look at the packaging and the product itself. Mobile C80 is shipped inside a simple cardboard slim enclosure, with a layer of transparent plastic so we can see how the product does really look like without unsealing it:

Mobile C80 was designed to be quite compact and with a 360 swivel cap for easy access of the interface we need at a specific moment; the total storage capacity is also written on top, along with the debossed Silicon Power emblem:

 

 

 

The drive itself is considerably smaller, the top plastic layer helping us to attach the product easily to a key chain:
