Introduction

I would like to thank Silicon Power for providing the review sample.


Silicon Power has been around for a very long time and offers every type of storage product out there. This includes flash drives and external hard drives. We are fortunate enough to take a look at one of their latest USB 3.0 units called Diamond D05 with 750 GB capacity. The theme is described by Silicon Power as follows:

D05, continues Diamond series in their delicate design and exterior. The solid and scratch resistant case by metallic grain surface embosses the diamond mark. The pocket-sized and easy for carry design is indeed the priority choice for urban and business people.
