Accident-prone desk workers can soon breathe a small sigh of relief, because Silicon
Power has announced its first portable SSD: a new puck-shaped hard drive that’s IP68 dust and water resistant. The Bolt B80 drive comes in three storage variants (120GB, 240GB, and 480GB), is made of machined aluminum, and is about the size of a makeup compact.
The B80 uses USB 3.1 via a Type-C connector, and comes with a USB-C to USB-A cable, according to AnandTech, and should be compatible with everything back to USB 2.0. File transfer speeds are a moderate 500 MB/s and 450 MB/s for reading and writing, respectively, which is just behind what you’ll find on Samsung’s own portable SSDs. https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/10/13/16472912/silicon-power-waterproof-ssd-bolt-b80
