Transcend ESD330 2TB External SSD, Up to 1,050MB/s, Type C USB Flash Drive for iPhone17/16/15/iPad/Mac/Windows/Android/Tablet/PC/Gaming Console, Portable SSD with Retractable Connector Metal Case

Decent performance and form factor. Used it as an external drive for my MacBook Air M1, and now with my Macmini M4. No complaints. Durable metal case with sliding protection for USB connector. Wish it had USB C though.

I have installed a complete operating system (Linux Mint 21.3) along with all my document, video, and music files on this drive because it is advertised to be a 3D NAND portable SSD (although it looks like extra large thumb drive). I move the drive back forth between two home computers and also use it my laptop. I am hoping to get longevity from this drive close to what would be offered by an M2 2280 3D NAND internal SSD. I used LUKS full drive encryption. I also later ordered a second one of these drives, which I use for a complete drive backup (via dd command) about once per week. I had run a speed test using gnome disks using various size files, which returned read speeds between write 370 MB/sec and 440 MB/sec and 310 MB/sec and 420 MB/sec. I use the drive 5 to 6 times per week 2 to 5 hours at a time on a journaling file system. If it doesn't last at least a year, I will update this review. It runs a little hot but my application is really making it work.

Good price. Works flawlessly. For the person who needs storage is a small package.

I love the fact that's a tiny 2 tb flash drive

Out box the drive was ExFAT formatted with no files present. Initial Blackmagic Speed Test looked good with 1,072 MB/s writes and 917 MB/s reads. Dragndrop write of many GB of large photo and video files, write speed dropped 90%. You'll need several hours to fill drive.

Great tumbdrive workes well witj my iphone and tablets with cases

Good read/write speed, as advertised. Had to initialize twice on my Mac's Disk Utility before it would be readable by Finder, weird. Functions perfectly after that. Installed into Android-based touch panel as internal storage expansion. Seems to be working well, only slightly warm to touch on extended usage.

The worst & slowest usb flash drive I have experienced at All within the same price category, the writing speed is not constant , when trying to copy large files it starts with 300 MB/s then speed drops down to less than 50 MB/s, I bought 3 of them ( 2 x 2 TB & 1 x 1 TB ) but I’m going to return them all , don’t waste your time & money

Ich nutze den Stick als Träger eines temporären Betriebssystems und mit USB3 merkt man davon nichts. Wusch - ist alles da. 512 GB reichen für Normal-Computer-Nutzer völlig aus. So nach 3 oder 4 Std wird der Stick ein wenig handwarm, daran ändert sich bis zum Feierabend auch nichts.

La uso da più di un anno e le impressioni sono ottime. E' molto veloce, rispetto alla media delle chiavette usb, sia in lettura che in scrittura (anche con i file di piccola dimensione...che sono i più "critici"). Ovviamente utilizzandola intensivamente tende a scaldarsi, ma il corpo metallico funge da dissipatore. La uso sia su PC che direttamente collegata ad un Galaxy S23plus. Consiglio vivamente.

Exelente mejor que el kingston DataTraveler Max!

Livraison rapide. Produit de très bonne qualité. Parfait.

Unlocking this ssd was a pain. At first it was instantly fast when data were little to none. But as more data piled on the wait time for Transcend Elite to show up is a ridiculous 15 minutes. I gave up in the end. Removed the password, uninstalled Transcend Elite and ended up using Bitlocker.
