Since the advent of communication, data was used to be sent in non-electronic means, but when telephones were invented, data signals were sent via electronic transmissions until eventually applications in modern data transfer was further developed.

Today, we have seen how technology has transformed our means in transferring data. With the help of genius developers like the Silicon Power, we can now transfer large data within a few minutes.

Basically, I am talking about the latest external hard drive of Silicon Power with an all new Stream 20 or S20. It is a 2.5″ extraordinary device that has a speed of USB 3.0. Apparently, it can copy about 50GB size data in over 2 minutes. Totally fast, isn’t it? Add to that are the built-in LED indicators which notify the user of its status in power and data transfer.

The built in status indicator is an energy efficient feature of this external hard drive. You don’t have to keep it running all day because it automatically switches to power saving mode or hibernation when after 10 minutes there is no reading or writing of data. This sleeping mode only uses up to 1-2 watts power per hour, so the amount of power to spare is considerably fair.

The other available data sizes of Steam 20 external hard drive are 500GB, 640GB and 750GB. However, there is no final announcement yet as to its pricing and release date. But this device is expected to come in the following months with a sure higher price.
