Description:
Silicon Power calls its a portable SSD but for all purposes and intent, it is a good ol thumb drive

FULL STORY ======================================================================

No one to my knowledge has reviewed a 2TB USB flash drive so I may well be
the first to put up the review of the MS70, after receiving Silicon Powers first portable SSD with a 2TB capacity. That brings the total number of 2TB USB flash drive, the highest capacity on the market to four. Expect a full review to be published later this year.

Theres nothing to distinguish SPs latest flagship external SSD/flash drives from other models currently on the market. The drive is expected to hit sequential read/write speeds of up to 1050/850 MB/s, making it ideal for transferring large files. Shame though that it only has a USB Type-A port (rather than the more flexible Type-C) which sports USB 3.2 Gen 2; that precludes its use with recent smartphones that haven this port.

Theres a rubber cap and an all-metal body to provide extra durability; that sid It is not IP68-rated or MIL-STD-810D compliant. You have to register the device to get a 5-year limited warranty as well as what Silicon Power calls free and useful software. I assume it is some sort of backup software .

Kingston previously launched a 2TB DataTraveler Ultimate GT flash drive , but it was retired a few years ago - partly because it was an awkward design, and partly because it was extremely expensive, costing around $2,000.

In June 2023, Teamgroup launched the C231 , a 2TB flash drive for around $190 while Buffalo introduced a 2TB portable SSD (the SSD-PUT) sometime in 2022 (and at just $92 for Black Friday it is at its lowest price yet ). Kioxia announced the first 2TB microSD card , the Exceria Plus, back on October 2022 and the mass production of the card was scheduled to begin in 2023. I have
yet to see it go on sale.
