Rugged portable SSD for creators

The Transcend ESD410C is a 2TB external solid-state drive built for outdoor photographers, travellers and content creators. Its rugged casing meets the IPX5 standard and passes a 3-metre drop test to protect data from splashes and impacts. Both USB Type-A and Type-C cables are included for broad system compatibility with Windows or Mac OS. The compact design delivers high capacity in a tiny package.

Upgrading from slower or fragile drives

This drive replaces mechanical portable hard drives that cannot survive drops or water exposure. The jump is worth it when you need sustained write performance for ProRes 4K at 60fps recording without dropped frames. It also supersedes older USB flash storage that tops out well below the 20Gbps interface speed. Users who only transfer small documents occasionally will not see the benefit.

2TB capacity with 2000MB/s headroom

The 2TB volume comfortably holds large media libraries, raw photo batches and 4K video projects. Sequential transfers reach up to 2000MB/s via the 20Gbps USB-C connection, while an integrated SLC cache sustains high write speeds for continuous recording. The drive runs out of headroom when workloads demand sustained throughput beyond the cache limit or when capacity is filled with uncompressed 8K footage.

Questions about this item

What cables are included so I can connect the ESD410C to both USB Type-A and Type-C ports?

The box contains both a USB Type-A cable and a USB Type-C cable, letting you plug the drive into almost any Windows or Mac system without buying extra adapters.

How do I get the advertised 2000 MB/s transfer speed when I first plug the drive in?

Connect the included USB Type-C cable to a host port that supports USB 20Gbps; using the Type-A cable or a slower port will limit the drive to lower speeds.

What ongoing care does the rugged, water-resistant case require to keep its IPX5 rating?

Rinse the exterior with fresh water after salt or sand exposure, dry the ports thoroughly before reconnecting, and avoid opening the sealed enclosure so the gasket stays intact.
