Silicon-Power V20 Velox: SSD seen up close
Once you remove the SSD from its packaging, we see what the product of Silicon-Power looks like.
As you can see, the size of the SSD by Silicon-Power is extremely small and typical of 2.5" storage units. In fact it has a size of 69.85 x 100x 9.4mm and an extremely low weight of only 70g.
The chassis, which contains the SSD inside, is built entirely of aluminum. The painting, as seen for other products of this company, it's really well done and the color is matte black with clear coat finish. On the front there is a sticker bearing the logo, Silicon Power, the words V20 SSD, the 60GB capacity, the form factor of 2.5" and the various certifications to which it have been subjected, like the CE, RoHS, FC and D33B29.
Like all HDD with SATA interface, on one side we have two connections. A connection serves to provide the correct power to the SSD and must be connected to a power supply unit, while the other connection is used to transfer actual data, which in this case uses a SATA 3Gb/s interface.
As you can see from the photos, the device offers various possibilities for coupling. On the bottom indeed we have 4 holes for so many screws, while on the sides there are two more holes for a total of 4 fastening screws, especially the latter are used to insert it into the provided adapter from 2.5" to 3.5".
