The Armor A85 is another rugged drive for people frequently on-the-go from Silicon Power which does offer shock-proof, water-proof and dust-proof protection of a military-grade. While the product we have got for review does feature 500GB capacity (on a Seagate ST500LM012 5400RPM drive), the manufacturer is also selling 1TB, 2TB and even 4TB versions of the product, for people which need to perform large backups.
In this review we will look upon one of the latest USB 3.0 portable hard drives from Silicon Power and to be more exact the Armor series, code name A85. This is not the first Armor series product we are reviewing and with this last model we do get IP68 water-proof and dust-proof protection, shock-proof military-grade protection and also a handy cable-carry design. The product is shipped in a compact cardboard enclosure with a small plastic window, which carries the Silicon Power design signature; on the frontal area we will get to see the total capacity and how the product does really look like, without the need of unsealing the enclosure:
Some of the product highlights are presented via icons on one of the sides:
Silicon Power also approximates the quantity of multimedia content which fits on the device, depending on which model we choose to purchase:

Inside the enclosure, we will receive one USB 3.0 cable and the User Manual as bundle:
The manual is describing users how to perform the hardware connection, in multiple languages:
