Silicon Power Bolt B75 Pro Portable SSD Review

Storage/SSD by stefan @ 2019-12-22

The B75 Pro external SSD drive is a clear improvement over the regular B75 in terms of overall performance and we should not experience drastic performance drops if data is moved to it in small quantities. If we need to transfer large files from a single stage, the TLC NAND limitations will be visible as soon as SLC cache gets filled and writes can drop to as low as 6 megabytes per second. The aluminum chassis is light, gives the product an overall premium look and also acts as a heatsink for the internal 2.5’’ SSD.

Packaging, A Closer Look

Remember the Bolt B75 external SSD from Silicon Power we have reviewed some months back? The Pro version does come with the same durable chassis which borrows the design of the Junkers F.13 German transport plane from a century ago. The main difference is support for USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface, which allows higher transfer speeds.

 

The product is shipped inside a compact cardboard enclosure with a small window, so we can admire the light aluminum chassis without unsealing the box; here the manufacturer does also list some of the main highlights:

 

 

 

Some more details on the product can be found on the back, including the list of box contents and system requirements:
