Silicon Power introduced a new external hard drive, the Stream S03, which has a unique folding design. That doesn't mean the device actually folds, but instead sports a form factor that looks as if the device were a black magazine folded neatly into a rounded portable carrying case with a matte finish.
"[It's] inspired by the concept of page folding as a way of keeping the precious and meaningful moments," the company said. "S03’s unique folding design emphasizes the idea of instilling more human touches into the storage device."
The external drive is based on USB 3.0, and features a multicolor LED in the asymmetric page-fold corner. If the drive is plugged into a USB 3.0 port, then the LED shines blue. If plugged into a USB 2.0 port, the LED will switch to red. It's all in the little details.
"SP Stream S03’s matte finish provides solid protection against fingerprints and stains," the company said. "Inheriting the streamline design from the Stream Series, S03 is built with the curved corners and ergonomics chamber on both sides, allowing users to handle with ease."
The curvy drive is offered in two flavors: 500 GB and 1 TB. It also comes with a hibernation mode to save power, and a new version of the company's free SP Widget software that provides seven major backup and security functions, such as 256-bit AES file and folder encryption. Its overall size is 4.822 x 3.05 x 0.523 inches, and it weighs a mere 0.31967 pounds.
