silicon power bolt b75 240gb review b

   Just like many times in the past with similar reviews our charts tell us pretty much everything we need to know about the product in our hands and in this particular case things could be better. True we don’t have many portable SSDs currently in our charts (we are however working on 3 more reviews at the time I type these lines) but the Bolt B75 is clearly the slowest model of them all and although still much faster compared to “regular” portable hard drives (we did manage to surpass 400MB/s in some tests) still its brother the Bolt B80 seems like a better choice overall. That being said its aluminum enclosure may be more important than performance to some people but those would be the exceptions and not the rule.


   We were hoping that the Bolt B75 240GB would have a more affordable price tag attached to it compared to the Bolt B80 240GB and since it currently sells for USD87.49 inside the USA (Newegg) and for 73.68Euros inside the EU (Amazon DE) we were right on the spot. With that out of the way although there will definitely be consumers who will choose their pockets over performance still the Bolt B75 is the slowest SSD to pass from out test bench to date. That being said even though the Bolt B75 is not award winning material we still recommend checking it out if you’re one such consumer, besides let's not forget that at the end of the day it's still much faster than any portable hard drive.
