Transcend1TB External SSD, Up to 1,050MB/s, Dual USB Hard Drive for Tesla, iPhone15,16&iPad&Mac, Steam Deck/ROG Ally/MSI Claw/Windows/Android/PS5/Smart TV, 2-in-1 Type C &A, USB 3.2 Gen2 Portable SSD

Excellent performance specs with 90 MBS read and 45 MBS write in a well made package. The slider to extend the connector moves smoothly and locks securely. I also like the fact that this flash drive is made in Taiwan by a Taiwanese firm rather than China.The only issues I have are minor and are with the ad & packaging. The Amazon ad states "Hardware Interface USB 3.0". The product packaging includes states "USB 3.1 Gen 1 flash drive". USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 are essentially the same thing and have the exact same performance specs so other than being confusing to some not an issue - just a little sloppy. The info on the product on the back of the packaging was too small to read.

Transcend ESD310C 1TB SSDIt's only a couple of weeks old, but so far it's as good as any SSD/flash/thumb drive I've owned. Probably better than any.It's used for backup, a little drive that can easily be carried in a pocket. It replaces an old SP drive of the same capacity that has been failing and is now landfill.The first test of this new drive was to copy a single 350 GB encrypted file to it from another SSD. According to Windows, the copy speed was about 425 MB/s. Is that actual MB/s or really MiB/s? Only Microsoft knows for sure. Whatever, the drive sailed right through the copy without slowing down.That is unusual. Typically a new drive would transfer data at a lower speed, perhaps around 300 MB/s and still might get warm while receiving a file of that size. If so, it might reduce the transfer speed to avoid overheating.The rest of the backup process involves dozens of files, from 2 bytes to 28 GB. No problems.There is a discrepancy with the serial number. The box and the drive itself show the same 10-character string, but CrystalDiskInfo shows a 20-character string which includes most of the string shown on the drive and box.It is Chinese, but it's from Taiwan, the guys I trust.

I bought the JetFlash 790 3.1 Gen 1 USB 256 GB version (225 GB usable). Blazing fast until you hit the temperature limit, then slows down. (But, I won't hit the limit again after the initial big load.) Great price, so I am happy.

Price was right, and too the security provided by the slide-out feature. So why not 5-stars? Well there is one, only one annoying feature. When I'm inserting this drive into a usb port, whether at home or in one of the newer pay-as-you-print Copy machines, I have to remember to slide-&-hold the blue slider or else the usb port will resist the connection pushing the blue slider back into the drive, and so, the Flash Drive doesn't connect. So I have to repeat, which can be a nuisance if the usb port is in the back of a computer as on my iMac. Not a big deal, and I am remembering to hold it so I can make the connection but still, next time around I'll be looking for a Drive where the slider doesn't have to be held out. Of course that then brings up the question: are flash drives made like that? I can't answer that as my other drive is a Lexar with a swivel cover for the connector.OK, so final words: it works well, seems to have enuf storage for my occasional needs, always carry it around in one of my bags, and too, amazon Prime continues to delight:-) Recommended.

I'm giving this the 5 stars it hugely deserves for price and capacity. I'm expecting longevity as well, since so far everything I've purchased from Transcend has been problem-free. If it doesn't last, I'll come back and grumpily remove some stars.I'm not using this for incessant daily transfers, but more as an exceedingly handy all-purpose storage bin. And it definitely requires 3.0 after it starts to fill up, or you'll be waiting longer than you are used to these days. I didn't love it laboring away on a 2.0 connection. But 3.0 is fine for my purposes.And I appreciate that it works without fuss with everything from an antique netbook to several laptops of various vintages and powers. When I do want to share something among my widely varied collection of this and that, it is a pleasure to have this wonderful capacity.Don't fool around with the all-important aspects of learning smooth connection and disconnection practices with this. Take care, don't yank and pull but go slow. You'll save yourself a lot of trouble by noticing precisely how this device wants to be connected and disconnected. (In the last 20 years, every USB device I ever bought was a little different than every other one--- and they all still work well. I'm certain it pays to be faintly obsessive about this part.)I keep all my uncapped USB drives in zipped cases to keep the dust out. Capped, uncapped, somewhat capped: it matters.Some years ago I accidentally sent a Transcend 64 GB flash drive through a washing machine cycle. Because it was securely capped it still works as well as before. So I'm just more careful where I take the slide-in varieties like this one.The real question is: how much in the way of educational material, cultural enjoyment, tech-tools and sheer fun would you like to carry around?
