A little more credit

The PC60 is one of the smallest portable SSDs not only in the Silicon Power range, but in the entire SSD market in general. The SSD has been packaged in a tiny, keychain-like, 8cm x 8cm square case. At just 11mm thin and weighing just under 50 grams, this little guy fits in even a small shirt pocket with no problem.

Red Design Dot Awards 2021 Winner

In addition to the miniature dimensions, the PC60 stands out from other low-cost SSDs due to the case design. The symmetrical relief coating looks like water ripples, the soft-touch plastic feels good in the hand, and the SSD itself is more like designer drives that come out in the WD My Passport and LaCie Rugged lines. The design of the Silicon Power PC60 has been recognized at several prestigious beauty pageants, including the Red Dot Awards 2021.

Classic low-cost SSD

Let's move on to the technical characteristics of the drive. The drive is based on 3D NAND Flash microchips. To connect to a computer or laptop, a symmetrical USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port is used. Claimed speed indicators are in line with other entry-level SSDs: data transfer rate in read mode is up to 540 MB / s, in write mode it drops to 500 MB / s. In reality, depending on the scenario of using this SSD, the speed can drop by 2-3 times. However, this is a problem for all entry-level drives with low-cost controllers, and in the case of the PC60, it should not be emphasized too much.
