Instead of a box, the MS70 comes packaged in a cardboard blister pack. The packaging advertises some of the drive's key features including its 2TB capacity, Type-A USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface, USB-A to USB-C adapter and maximum read and write speeds.
Physical Features:
The MS70 is one of the smallest and lightest portaable SSDs in Silicon Power's product lineup. Measuring 71.3 x 21.3 x 10.4mm and weighing a mere 13.8, the drive fits comfortably in the palm of a hand as well as your pocket.
While the ends of the MS70 are rubber and plastic, the body is constructed out of aluminum. This not only looks great, it provides extra durability and helps dissipate heat.
The MS70's USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-a port is located underneath the rubber cap on the end of the drive. This interface not only transfers data, but provides power for the device.
If you were to crack the MS70 open, you'd find Phison's PS2251-17 (U17) controller. Designed for use in USB flash drives, this DRAM-less controller solution offers native USB 3.2 Gen 2 support as well as two NAND flash channels with up to 16 chip enables (CE). The U17 also features up to 4TB of capacity using the latest TLC and QLC NAND.
