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.

Power Supply: Nexus RX-8500 850W modular

HDD: OCZ Vertex 4 240GB SSD
