Transcend ESD310 1TB External SSD, Up to 1,050MB/s, Dual USB Drive for iPhone17,16,15, iPad&Mac/Pixel10/Tesla/Steam Deck/ROG Ally/MSI Claw/Android/PS5, 2-in-1 Type C &A, USB 3.2 Gen2 Portable SSD

Hi there dear Amazon Community. I hope that everyone is doing great. Today, I am going to share my thoughts on this Transcend SSD USB drive, which I bought few months back. I have used it a lot of times so far, and here is what I feel about it now. I have a couple of USB drives, but none is 1TB, so after searching through a lot of brands, I thought to give this Transcend SSD a try for the first time, and I am glad that I did. This little SSD has been real good and solid so far for keeping a lots of data on it and transferring data among my cell phones, my laptop and my PC. I don't usually pay any attention to the speed specs on any of such USB drives, as they all vary in speed due to different reasons. My PC supports only USB 2.0 ports, so I don't get the specified speed as the drive itself is USB 3.2, but when I plug it into my laptop with USB 3.0 ports, It becomes super-fast and just rocks. So, depending on your use and ports etc, you may get different results. So, no issues here. I use mine usually for storing and transferring movies, data files, and books etc. If you want to transfer 100GB or above at a time, just remember that almost all of these USB drives get very hot, and after a 100GB or so and the hot temp, these drives would slow down considerably, so I would recommend transferring about 70-100GB at a time, and then wait for sometime to let these drives cool down a bit...I am not specifying any brands here, as it is common for every drive I have used so far for transferring huge amounts of data. The hot temps and occasional slow-downs are not a big deal when you consider the convenience and small size and speed of this ssd stick. The outer shell on this drive looks and feels just like as if it's been made of metal, not plastic. Though it has the same size as a full length USB flash drive, it has a bit of weight which makes it feel more robust and sturdy. I also like the USB-C connection it has on one end. It becomes very handy when I need to transfer files among my cell phones and laptop by utilizing the USB-C ports available on these. The drive comes in a beautiful and secure packaging, which can be used to secure the drive again when you are done working with it. I always place back mine into its packaging when I am finished working with it. The caps on both ends fit-on snug. No issues there at all. So, the conclusion is that if you've been thinking about getting a fine USB data drive with huge space and latest design, just get it. You'll be glad and impressed. I am..............

It works really well for my Tesla. There is no delay in capturing the video.

This product is great! As small as any thumb drive, but it hold 1 TB! I've been using it to back of all of the files on my computer. I have a portable hard drive, but this is so convenient and small.

Works flawlessly.

I've always been on the lookout for a high capacity flash drive. Something where I could keep a backup of many project and important files. This fits that very well, not perfect, though well. Pros: +Compatible with Transcend's own SSDScope utility right down to the picture on the main screen. +Has both USB and USB-C ends (unlike another, very similar drive where it only has one option). +The value per TB is incredible. +The size of a regular USB drive. +Great for quick transfers. +5 year warranty. Neutral: *Both ends don't lock and can slide. I put all my high end drives in a storage box when I travel anyway. As others have mentioned, they only sit flush with the case one way as the caps aren't symmetrical. *Has a metal case. Whereas the alternatives have plastic, they are also nearly twice the size with the same controller and NAND memory. *Many SSD controllers will round up the SSD used, so it being 99% health after so few writes is expected. It shouldn't drop to 98% for a long time. Transcend doesn't announce the TBW for this drive, though I would expect when it drops to 98% to compare the TBW from 99% and multiple it by 100. Cons: -The SMART attributes do include a power off retract count, which mine came with 6 from the factory as well as 10GB R/W. In many OSes you can eject the drive but be unable to power it down safely. It shouldn't reduce the life of the drive much, though it is irksome. -I wouldn't use this drive, or even other similar SSDs on a stick, as a full SSD. I normally opt to use USB 2.0, if available, as 20MBps is more than enough for my needs. -Windows, at least the one currently being used, shows the SSD as an HDD. As it's not formatted in a way it can be used by Windows, it should be fine, though do be mindful that if formatted NTFS Windows might attempt to do a normal defragment on it. -This and my other drive idle at around 40C. This one is definitely warm and from what I can tell doesn't power down after a while. My intentions for this drive is to run it alongside a 1TB external HDD and 256GB USB SSD while processing a bunch of video files on a Mac mini. As I don't have a hub on the mini, I have this drive on a USB-C to USB-A adapter and so far I have not encountered any issues (apart from the power off retract going up). Once done I think I'll use it as my primary USB drive, though still will back it up fairly often.

fastest usb jumpdrive I've ever used. Does get hot if transferring massive amounts of data.

Holds many a picture!

It does the job - fast, easy to use. Just what you hope to get from a 1TB USB drive.

Reliable, Fast, Great for transferring files between USB A on PC to USB C on MacBook

Good

Fast speeds, dual type c & a connector, works with my Pixel 7 ( exFAT ). Gets a little bit warm during long sustained file transfers.

Tıpkı bir flash bellek boyutunda. Bence en büyük avantajı bu. Ancak bir arkadaşınıza normal bir 64-128 gb flash bellek diye verebilirsiniz, aman dikkat. Hp Elitebook 840 G4 i7 7500U işlemcili 16 gb ram bilgisayarımın type c bağlantısından takıp, laptopun 1 tb D diskini (Samsung SSD 450mb/sn) tek seferde kopyala dediğimde 37mb/sn hız ile kopyalamaya başladı. Daha sonra 340 gb bir klasörü Type A (USB 3.1) girişinden kopyalamaya çalıştığımda bu sefer ortalama 150mb/sn hız ile kopyalıyor. Tıpkı benim laptopumda olduğu gibi kullanacağınız bilgisayarın donanım özelliklerine bağlı olarak performansı değişecektir. O nedenle, yok özelliklerinde yazdığı hızı alamadım falan filan tarzı yorum yapmak bence yanlış. Diğer bir konu da ısınma konusu. Arkadaşlar, değerli tüketiciler, bu bir elektronik cihaz. Kopyalama işlemi yapıldığında ısınmasından daha doğal bir şey olabilir mi? Çok korktum, ısınıyor, yangın çıkabilir tarzı yorumları okudukça, ülke insanına olan inancım sarsılıyor. Neyse Type C ve USB (Type A) girişi olması kullanım alanını sınırsız hale getiriyor. Üstelikte en uygun fiyata Amazondan almış olmak ayrıca çok güzel. Herkese tavsiye ederim. Teşekkürler Amazon.

Excellent, small, fast, huge storage and double usb ends
