Rugged & Fast

Silicon Power 1TB Armor A60 Shockproof and Water-Resistant Portable Hard Drive USB 3.0 Model SP010TBPHDA60S3K Black
Silicon Power 1TB Armor A60 Shockproof and Water-Resistant Portable Hard Drive USB 3.0 Model SP010TBPHDA60S3K Black

Pros: This hard drive will transfer date at blazing speeds, and even works if you drop it. This hard drive is the answer to the hard drive that is "Rough & Tough". If you are like me, you have a special case to put your external hard drive into. You are always worried about dropping it or accidentally knocking it off your computer desk. With this hard drive, you don't need a case to keep it safe. The layout is very clean and simple, but extremely effective. The body is made of plastic, which makes it strong and light. In the hand, it has a solid feel, nice and sturdy. The size is similar to any other 2.5in external hard drive. What separates this drive from others are the rubber edge that surrounds the entire drive, which enhances the shock absorbing properties. Also, there is slot that holds the USB 3.0 cable in place. Since having this hard drive I am now able to bring data with me safely, without having to always find a case to transport it in. When I pick it up I am good to go, no need to search for a cable, it is already attached, just "Grab & GO". If you are worried about an accident or mishap with you external hard drive, this one will solve all worries. The best feature is that it is splash resistant.

Cons: None

Speed Up You Laptop

Silicon Power Slim S60 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SP120GBSS3S60S25
Silicon Power Slim S60 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SP120GBSS3S60S25

Pros: This hard drive is the answer to breathing new life into an old slow laptop. There are other options like adding ram, but this will give you the best bang for the buck. What makes this hard drive so fast is that there are no moving parts. Inside is a SSD (Solid State Drive), which makes for faster access and transfer speeds. The drive is very similar to that of a "[[ASIN:B00JT0DZFO Thumb Drive]]", just must bigger and faster. Since the hard drive is only 7mm thick, I was able to replace the older spinning hard drive without any clearance issues. After installation of the new drive, I very quickly noticed how much faster the computer was. It was as if it was a new computer all over again. Now the startup time is cut in half, from minutes to seconds. Also, it only takes a few seconds to open up Microsoft Word. This drive stopped me from having to go out and buy a new laptop.

Cons: None

Very Fast And Cheap

Silicon Power 32GB Elite microSDHC UHS-I/U1 Class 10 Memory Card with Adapter, Speed Up to 85MB/s (SP032GBSTHBU1V20UR)
Silicon Power 32GB Elite microSDHC UHS-I/U1 Class 10 Memory Card with Adapter, Speed Up to 85MB/s (SP032GBSTHBU1V20UR)

Pros: This card is fast and easy on the wallet. The card works as advertised, you will definitely notice the speed when transferring pictures to the computer. I can't tell the difference between this card and my SanDisk card when shooting with my Canon T3i. Since it is micro SD, it will easily fit into your mobile phone or use the SD adapter and use it in your camera. This is the best card for the price.

Cons: None

Zinc Alloy Meets USB 3.0

Silicon Power Marvel M70 64GB 230/80 MB/s (read/write) Retractable USB 3.0 Flash Drive Silver
Silicon Power Marvel M70 64GB 230/80 MB/s (read/write) Retractable USB 3.0 Flash Drive Silver

Pros: Having 64GB of USB 3.0 zinc alloy flash drive in the palm of your hand is great. The layout is very clean and simplistic, yet fits very nice in the hand due to the contoured design. The top portion of the body is made of plastic, which makes it strong and light. The bottom portion sports a zinc alloy construction which gives it some extra strength. The drive placed inside the cap is about the size of a pack of “Big Red". Since the size is so small it can easily fit into the fifth pocket in your jean pockets, and be overlooked. Packing the super speed of USB 3.0, makes file transfers lightning fast. The best part is the cap less design, one less thing to lose.

Cons: None

Small, Fast, Waterproof

Silicon Power 32GB Jewel J06 USB 3.0 Flash Drive (SP032GBUF3J06V1D)
Silicon Power 32GB Jewel J06 USB 3.0 Flash Drive (SP032GBUF3J06V1D)

Pros: Having 32GB of USB 3.0 speed storage on the tip of your finger is great. The layout is very clean and simplistic, yet effective. The body is made of plastic, which makes it strong and light. In the hand it feels weightless. There are just two pieces, the drive and the cap. The drive placed inside the cap is about the size of a "Postage Stamp" and thick as a "Starburst Candy". Since the size is so small it can easily fit into the fifth pocket in your jean pockets, and be overlooked. Having USB 3.0 makes the transfer speed lightning fast. Since the drive is waterproof, a little water will not hurt.

Cons: None

Easily Transfer Data Between Phone & PC

Leef Bridge 2.0 64GB Mobile OTG USB Flash Drive (Black) for Android
Leef Bridge 2.0 64GB Mobile OTG USB Flash Drive (Black) for Android

Pros: This flash drive easily transfers data between your smartphone and pc. This flash drive bridges the gap for transferring data between a computer to a smartphone or vice versa. This flash drive is definitely not a "One Trick Pony", it is like the "Swiss Army Knife" of flash drives. That fact that it can be loaded with files from a computer then plugged into a phone is totally a game changer, this puts it in a league of its own. The size is very portable and can be easily slipped into a pocket and overlooked due to its small size. The layout is very clean and simple, but extremely effective. The body is made of plastic, which makes it strong and light. In the hand, it has a nice solid feel, nice and sturdy. The size is similar to a "Pink Eraser" like the used in grade school. Since having this flash drive I am now able to bring more data with me, without having to cart around and external hard drive. I normally transfer files over Wi-Fi to my phone, which takes a nice amount of time. Now, I just copy them to the flash dive and just it plug into my phone. The transfer time is now cut in half. There have been some remarks on how tight the slide movement is and the difficulty in transferring files to the phone. The slide movement is just right for me (it must have already been broken in for me). The slide movement must be a little on the firm side to protect the tips on both ends, if not people would say it to loose and could possible damage the tips. As for transferring data onto the phone, there should be a "File Explorer" pre-installed on the phone, you just have to know where to look. When plugged into my Note 2, it will automatically pop up the "File Explorer". I have not experienced any issues with this device, just smooth sailing. This flash drive is like a double ended pencil, you can use both ends to get the job done.

Cons: None
