Silicon Power Jewel J30 64GB USB 3.1 Flash Drive Review

Storage/Other by stefan @ 2016-08-21

Jewel J30 USB 3.1 Flash Drives are small and cute at the same time, resembling nuts (one of the favorite squirrel meals) and they do incorporate Micro COB technology for packing up to 64GB of storage. The product rubber connector cover does make them more durable (against water, dust and vibration), while the lid-holder strap design makes sure that we won’t lose the USB port cover while the drive is in use.

Packaging, A Closer Look

One member of the new series of USB Flash Drives from Silicon Power is the Jewel J30 which is manufactured in two different colors (red, purple), sporting diminutive dimensions (27.8 x 21.39 x 9.95 mm).

Because of the Micro COB (Chip On Board) technology, Silicon Power was able to create a very small and cute portable storage product, with protection against water, dust and vibration thanks to its rubber cover:

 

 

 

Jewel J30 does come with a lid-holder strap design, which helps us not to lose the protective cover during use:

 

 

 

The rubber cover removal is pretty straight-forward:

 

 

 

Considering that we are dealing with a 64GB USB Flash Drive, it is amazing to see how little the actual PCB is (if we leave out the size of the USB 3 connector):

 

 

 

On the opposite side of the USB connector we have some additional inscriptions:
