Silicon Power Diamond D30S 2TB USB 3.1 HDD Review

Storage/HDD by stefan @ 2017-12-31

Instead of going with a Toshiba or Seagate branded HDD as we have seen with the previous models, this time Silicon Power has included a Western Digital WDC WD20NPVZ-00WFZT0 (WD Blue Mobile) drive, which features an 8MB cache and a 5400 rotational speed. This particular model does feature NoTouch Ramp Load Technology, so the recording head never touches the disk media, ensuring less wear to the recording head but also better protection during transit. Additionally, Silicon Power has included a slim and elegant chassis with it that is IPX4 waterproof and scratch resistant thanks to the rhombus surface pattern on the top cover; on the top we do also have a LED included which signals the transfer mode along with the power status.

A Closer Look Cond.

Diamond D30 comes with an interesting design choice: most of the top surface comes with a rhombus pattern for an optimal grip, which does not pick up fingerprints; the top segment packs a shiny black plastic finish, while the red sliding cover does make sure that the USB port won’t be compromised when not in use:

The bottom area of the drive does present itself with a black textured plastic cover; here we will learn about the total drive capacity, but also here the manufacturer has printed some serial numbers:

On the sides of the D30, we can spot again the shiny black plastic finish:

Here is a close shot of the red USB cover:

Let’s install the supplied USB cable to the product and see how it performs!
