Review on Silicon Power Portable External Shockproof by Sam Bell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

straight out of the box, the usb connector is free and turns off when moved, not very "durable "

only had this thing a few days, maybe connected usb a total of 4 times and the usb connection is already dangling and dangling. Does the connector sometimes disconnect from my computer if the cable moves and wiggles? very disappointed as i thought i was buying something "durable" that would last a long time, now i'm not even sure if i can trust this month. I don't want to hold my breath when it's connected. I've barely had this thing a week so I hope they don't give me any problems with it. TIP: If you buy this, IMMEDIATELY CHECK THE USB PORT ON THE DRIVE. Insert the cable and gently slide it back and forth and check for looseness. If it gives or wobbles at all, don't risk your data. It's such a shame because the design is so beautiful, but it's misleading. There's nothing wrong with flimsy connection ports that will eject a drive if the cable is touched or breathed on. I will not worry about replacing or buying this brand again. Better to build it yourself.

Pros
  • quality construction
Cons
  • not as thick as other picks
