Why trust your files to the cloud when you can use them instead?

Silicon Power wins my vote for the best digital storage solution on the market! This is the second block I have received. The first one I bought for travel a few years ago was 1TB. As an underwater photographer, I have to empty my memory cards for every dive. I use this device to upload image files to my laptop and then to the SP drive. So I have two copies, one on my computer that I can edit and the other as a backup on this solid state drive. Even if my laptop gets stolen (God forbid) I don't lose any of my work. I bought the first one after my camera was stolen (I work a lot in third world countries) and I lost the last day of photos that couldn't be replaced. I now use it as storage for my old laptop and use the new 2TB as storage on my new computer. They are military grade, slightly larger than a smoke pack and have no moving parts to break. They are strong and small for packing. Why risk someone hacking your files from the cloud when you have a better and more secure alternative? 5 stars across the board!

Pros
  • Few competitors
