THE ARMOR A62 4TB

Measuring 131.mm in length, 86.5mm in width and 22.8mm in height the Armor A62 is not the smallest drive around so we placed it right next to the Armor A80 to showcase that (the A80 however has an 2TB drive inside so the 4TB variant should be thicker).

The product name is engraved on the upper right corner of the drive (an activity LED placed underneath turns red when the drive is connected to a USB 2.0 port and blue when connected with a USB 3.0 port - also red when the drive is not getting sufficient power from a front USB 3.0 port).

Silicon Power has placed the USB port at the rear of the drive as you can see from the above picture.

Printed at the rear of the drive are several certifications and the drive capacity.

The rubber protective placed around the A65 is not attached onto the enclosure on two of the corners which means that the drive may get damaged easier compared to other Armor models.

Of course this is deliberate since Silicon Power made it so you can store the USB cable there but still I’d rather they thought of something else.

As expected inside the enclosure of the A62L Silicon Power has placed a 5400RPM SATA III 2.5" drive and specifically the WD Blue Mobile WD40NPZZ model.

Also worth pointing out is that Silicon Power has released a firmware update for the A62 which should be used if the drive has issues in term of performance (us didn’t but we updated it anyway).
