Silicon Power Marvel M70 64 GB

Silicon Power is one of the world's leading manufacturers of memory media. Its Marvel M70 model index is the flagship of its line of portable USB drives.

Car body

The storage medium is enclosed in a stylish curved case, the upper part of which is made of plastic, and the lower part is covered with zinc coating. The flash drive is not afraid of falling, and its connector is protected from dirt and breakage by the presence of a retractable mechanism in the design. The slider for leaving the plug is located on the top edge. An LED indicator also lurks in the corner of this recess — without knowing this location, it is quite difficult to detect it.

Overtaking Features

In the course of testing the capabilities of the drive using specialized utilities (CrystalDiskMark, USB Flash Benchmark, etc.), its speed characteristics even exceeded the values from the manufacturer. When sequentially reading large files, the speed rose to 250 Mb / s, and when reading — up to 80 Mb / s. With an array of small files, the flash drive handles somewhat worse. In fact, benchmark data is confirmed by real high-speed performance.

Bonuses

The Taiwanese brand provides a limited lifetime warranty on its offspring. And a nice bonus from it is the ability to download a number of useful utilities : SP Widget (for data backup), Recuva File Recovery (for recovering deleted or damaged files) and SP Recovery Tool Utility (for restoring the drive).

Reference. Lifetime warranty may not apply in some regions. For example, SanDisk products in Germany and Canada offer a 30-year warranty instead of a lifetime warranty. It should also be understood that the lifetime warranty is not in vain the prefix "limited" — it is provided for the entire life of the product while it is produced by the manufacturer (occasionally extended for another period).
