With the xDrive Z50, Silicon Power is proposing a simple solution for backup and file transfer between PC and Mac computers but also with iOS portable devices. The product includes the latest technologies such as USB 3.1 Gen 1 but also Lightning. It comes with Apple MFi certification and can be purchased in three different capacities: 32GB, 64GB but also 128GB. Its chassis is made of zinc alloy (thanks to the metallic casing, xDrive Z50 is dustproof, shock and scratch resistant), while the Lightning connector is protected by a durable plastic cap that was tested in-house to withstand over 10000 open/close actions.

Regarding the drive performance, we could see very good read speeds, but average writes, at around 20MB/s.

Besides the SP Widget 3.0 application that is meant to be used with PCs, we do also have to our disposal xDrive Explorer, for easy file transfer, synchronizations and more.

The xDrive Z50 can be purchased online for about 45 Euros (32GB capacity).
