CONCLUSION

   As many of you know I’m particularly fond of rugged external storage devices since accidents wait to happen all the time and i can't speak for all of you but the safety of our external backups can be the difference between restoring the entire website inside just a few minutes or many hours (if not days) so maximum protection is always something on our mind. Of course that doesn't mean i don't approve of USB flash drives that are made by zinc alloy (i have one in my keychain at all times) or other metals since those are also partially rugged and they look far more elegant. However i never was much fond of regular plastic enclosures and the Blaze B06 doesn't only feature one such enclosure but it also feels way too "weak" and i felt more than just once that it was about to fall off and leave the interior hanging from the USB port. Now if performance was right up there with the fastest USB 3.0 flash drives in our charts i might had ignored the issue with the enclosure but as you can clearly see although somewhat fast that's not really the case so all that's left is to check and see how much the Blaze B06 64GB retails for (perhaps that can "save" things a bit).

   Well luckily for Silicon Power the price tag is what partially saves the entire situation with the Blaze B06 64GB USB 3.0 flash drive since with a current price tag set at USD40.17 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and at around 28Euros inside the EU it's one of the cheapest 64GB USB 3.0 compatible drives around. That may not make things "alright" in our book but at least who get what you pay for and so for that kind of money i doubt anyone will be displeased by the Blaze B06. Personally i think that Silicon Power has done much better in the past but i can't really deny that the Blaze B06 offers a good price/performance/capacity ratio and so for people on a tight budget we do recommend taking a closer look.
