Storage/SSD by stefan @ 2019-08-16
As the Armor A75, the Bolt B75 does feature a military-grade shockproof casing that is quite light and also acts as a heatsink for the internal SSD. Being based on a SATA 6Gb/s internal SSD interface, the drive is limited a bit in terms of reads/writes, even before the cache fills up, but for regular backup tasks that do not involve usage of very big files, this should be a non-issue.
Back in 2018, we were reviewing the Armor A75 2TB USB 3.1 drive from Silicon Power, which had an aluminum chassis with an aircraft inspired design, but also low weight for easy transportation purposes.
With the Bolt B75, the manufacturer is reusing the same cool looking chassis, but has replaced the HDD with a speedier SSD, while the USB 3.1 Type-C interface is preserved.
The product is shipped inside a compact cardboard enclosure, with a small plastic window; some of the main highlights are present here as well:
On the back side we will find some more details, such as product specifications, package contents (Silicon Power has opted for an USB Type-C to USB Type-A since it is more compatible), system requirements but also some info regarding the service center:
After removing the top packaging layer, we will get to see the main item, together with the data transfer cable and the user manual:
Inside the manual, the manufacturer has listed the basic tasks needed to be performed in order to get the drive operational:
The provided USB cable is braided and features the exact same design as we have seen with the other BOLT drives:
