Today we’ll be checking out a stylish USB 3.0 portable hard drive, by a company not known by many. The Silicone Power Diamond D10 series of portable hard drives are all equipped with USB 3.0 and use only a 2.5-inch hard drive. They’re available in multiple sizes and colors to fit most anybody’s need. The highly reflective coating and unique design isn’t something I’ve seen before in a portable hard drive, so read on further to find out more about it.

Packaging
The Diamond D10 comes in a fancy package with a person dancing on the front of the box. I suppose Silicon Power is trying to put this product out as a stylish product with the packaging and visible drive on the front. The back of the box goes over a little bit of details of the drive as well as some the other capacities its’ available in.
Inside the box you’ll find the drive, USB 3.0 cable, carrying pouch, User Manual and Software CD.
