Portable 1 TB SSD with USB-C

The Transcend ESD300 is a pocket-sized solid-state drive that stores one terabyte of data and connects through a USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 Type-C port. Sequential reads reach 1050 megabytes per second and writes reach 950 megabytes per second. The rosy pink enclosure measures 2.36 by 0.79 by 0.31 inches and weighs 9 grams.

Everyday users who need fast external storage

Photographers, students and mobile professionals can back up large libraries or transfer projects between devices without a power adapter. The drive is not suited for anyone who requires a second drive bay, a ruggedised chassis or an interface other than USB-C.

USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 Type-C interface

This single connector determines host compatibility and caps the transfer ceiling at the quoted 1050 megabytes per second read and 950 megabytes per second write. Verify that the target computer offers a USB-C port supporting at least USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 before purchase.

Questions about this item

What does the 1050 MB/s read speed mean when the drive is connected to a real computer?

You can transfer a 10 GB video file in roughly ten seconds on a USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 port; on an older USB 3.0 port the same file takes about thirty seconds.

What does the USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 interface cap at in practice?

The interface tops out at 10 Gbps, so the drive’s 1050 MB/s read and 950 MB/s write speeds are reachable only on a host port that also supports 10 Gbps.

What are the exact dimensions I need to check for a snug fit in a sleeve or dock?

The drive measures 2.36 in long, 0.79 in wide and 0.31 in thick and weighs 9 grams.
