   As data storage needs increase so does the need for higher transfer speeds so it's no surprise really that portable SSD sales have skyrocketed over the last 2 years or so. Granted portable SSDs can't really compete with the high price/capacity ratio offered by portable HDDs (many of which offer acceptable data transfer performance numbers) but thanks to several price cuts over the years consumers can now find relatively affordable portable SSDs with capacities up to even 2TB. Silicon Power has released several interesting portable SSDs to date and since consumers all over the world elevated the Bolt B75 model to one of their bestselling models (even though it was far from the fastest in the market) it was just a matter of time really before they updated it and released it back into the market. Well that update is finally here and so today's review is about the Bolt B75 Pro which we've been testing for the past week.


   Founded in 2003 by a group of enthusiastic data storage industry experts, Silicon Power is committed to delivering outstanding product and service quality. Headquartered and with our own state-of-the-art production site in Taipei, we have become a leading manufacturer of flash memory cards, USB flash drives, portable hard drives, solid state drives, DRAM modules and industrial-grade products.

With a strong focus on combining innovative technology and award-winning design, we live up to our brand promise to reliably preserve and protect your most valuable data. Because memory is personal.


   Although just like the anodized aluminum enclosure of the original Bolt B75 Portable SSD released back in mid-2018 the one used in the brand new Bolt B75 Pro (currently available in 256GB/512GB/1TB/2TB capacities) is also designed after the German Junkers F 13 all-metal transport aircraft this time over its painted black instead of silver. The anodized aluminum enclosure is once again shock proof (MIL-STD-810, 516.7 Procedure IV), scratch resistant (3D ridged design), offers superior heat dissipation (as expected from an aluminum enclosure) and features a type-C to type-C USB connection (USB 3.1 Gen 2) which allows it to achieve performance numbers of up to 520MB/s read and 420MB/s write (official numbers according to Silicon Power). Also just like with the Bolt B75 line Silicon Power covers the entire Bolt B75 Pro line with a 3-year limited warranty.
