With the PC60, Silicon Power is proposing another cost-efficient storage drive, which uses SSD instead of HDD but with the usual shortcomings because of the included TLC NAND packages (speed drops when the SLC cache is fully filled). The USB 3.1 Gen2 supported interface advertised on the box does allow transfer speeds of up to 1GB/s, but Silicon Power rates this drive as “up to” 540MB/s reads and 500MB/s writes, typical to SATA standard products and not NVMe.

The product is shipped inside a small cardboard box with a frontal window; here, we see the main features highlighted, including the storage capacity and the fact that the drive does feature a LED indicator:

On the back, we will get to see the product specifications, the package contents, the product internal code name and serial number, but also some information regarding the Silicon Power service centers:

After removing the outside layer, we will get to see that the drive is further protected inside a transparent plastic mold and also includes the data transfer cable, along with the User Manual:

The manual is in multiple languages and is quite straight-forward:

The USB transfer cable is of Type-C to Type-A and fully braided for additional durability; the same design for the connectors is used as we have seen with other recently reviewed Silicon Power products:

As expected with the use of a SSD instead of HDD, the unit is very light (about 46 grams) and slim (11.2 mm), being able to fit in pockets without an issue. On the top area, we are seeing a textured plastic finish with a ripple design, accentuating the square theme. The middle area does hold a subtle SP logo:

The chassis frame is made of shiny black plastic and here we will note the USB Type-C port as well. This side does also accommodate the data transfer white internal LED:

Silicon Power has also provided a small hole in one of the corners for attaching the unit to a keychain or bag:

On the back of the unit we will be able to spot black textured plastic again, but also plenty of supported standard logos and the drive capacity:

Let’s connect the unit to our test PC and see how it performs!
