As with all of the portable hard drive reviews, I would like to make sure you understand we do not expect the Silicon Power Armor A30 to deliver performance similar to the many flash based memory devices on the list. Most USB 3.0 flash drives will perform better as they do not have any moving parts inside. However, our AIDA64 results do provide interesting insight to the performance of the Armor A30 1TB as a USB 3.0 external hard drive. With numbers maxing out at 115.6 MB/s sequential read, 91.6MB/s random read, and 191.5 MB/s buffered read, these numbers are actually better than all of the external hard drives we have reviewed, even the ADATA DashDrive Durable HD650. Comparatively speaking, the HD650 provides mostly similar results, with a maximum difference of five megabytes per second slower. As for latency time, the Armor A30 is a relatively zippy 16.23ms; keeping in mind this is a mechanical hard drive.
