marvel m60b   Well i never thought the day would come when a USB 3.0 flash drive would actually be able to surpass the HyperX by Kingston, even if just in read speeds so kudos to Silicon Power for that. On the other hand however i am a bit confused since this is the first time i test a storage product only to find out that there's a huge gap between its advertised read/write speeds and the real ones. Sure i have tested quite a few storage products in the past which ended up being slower than their advertised speeds (although not by much) but i don't ever recall testing a product which ended up performing a lot faster than its advertised speeds and so when Silicon Power advertises a read speed of 100Mb/s and a write speed of 70Mb/s for the Marvel M60 when it's obviously faster i don't know why that is. Still that does not change the fact that the Marvel M60 is a blazing fast USB 3.0 flash drive although i would like to see a more "durable/solid" housing.

 

   Silicon Power has always followed an aggressive pricing policy for their products and the same goes for the Marvel M60 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive since you can currently purchase it at USD36.99 inside the USA (Newegg) and at around 40Euros inside the EU. Of course the Marvel M60 32GB may not be the cheapest 32GB flash drive in the market currently but i really doubt you can find another equally fast USB 3.0 flash drive at the same price range. However for all of you looking to buy a rugged USB 3.0 flash drive then the Marvel M60 is not for you since the housing may look and feel nice but in the end it's mostly made out of hard plastic and certainly not water proof. Still it managed to surpass the HyperX drive in read speeds and even tailed it really close in write speeds and for that we can give the Marvel M60 32GB USB 3.0 flash drive nothing less than our Platinum Award.
