TechRadar Verdict
Silicon Power’s MS70 SSD combines robust build quality with exceptional performance.
However, the need for an adapter for USB-C connections might deter some.
However, the MS70 isn’t without its drawbacks.
These speeds show the drive’s capability to handle large files and demanding applications.
One of the design aspects that really stands out is the compact size.
This cap is secured to the body of the drive and helps to protect the USB throw in-A connector.
This necessitates some manoeuvring or repositioning of the SSD for a proper connection.
The need for an adapter, though, is a minor issue.
Performance-wise, the MS70 shows impressive results in speed tests.
In CrystalDiskMark, it achieved read and write speeds of 1041.48MB/s and 1010.78MB/s, respectively.
These figures nearly match the manufacturer’s claimed speeds.
AJA test results showed a read speed of 86.9MB/s and a write speed of 911MB/s.
Despite this, the high write speed maintains the theme that this is a high-performing SSD.
Lastly, the AS SSD Benchmark recorded read and write speeds of 897.64MB/s and 883.57MB/s.
