ESD270C Portable SSD

In the perfect combination of portability and reliability, Transcend's ESD270C is a portable SSD that features fast data transfer rates and solid data integrity. The credit-card size ESD270C fits in your wallet, making it the perfect choice for businesspeople needing to take important files on their many travels.

 

Transfer in a blink of an eye

The ESD270C is equipped with the USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface with the support of UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol), providing transfer speeds of up to 520MB/s.

 

Compact and lightweight

Pack light! The credit-card size ESD270C, with mere 9.6mm in height, fits perfectly in your wallet or purse, and takes up little space in your briefcase. The anti-scratch coating means the external SSD will look sharp even after all the miles. With a reflective black case, you'll be both savvy and stylish.

 

Expand storage in a flash

The ESD270C provides up to 1TB of storage capacity, ensuring you have plenty of space for backups, as well as storing your high-resolution images, 4K videos, and other media files!

 

Great compatibility

In addition to desktop and laptop computers, the ESD270C can also be used with many other devices, such as on-the-go mobile devices and gaming consoles, providing ultra-fast transfer speeds and extra large capacity expansion.

Note:
1. Mobile devices must support USB OTG. Game console vendors may set out capacity requirements for external storage. Please check compatibility before purchase.
2. The ESD270C comes formatted in the exFAT file system. However, some mobile devices may require FAT32 only. Please format the ESD270C to FAT32 file system before use.

 

Type-A and Type-C cables included

The ESD270C comes with both a USB Type-C cable and a USB Type-C to Type-A cable to accommodate desktops and laptops featuring the USB Type-C or USB 3.1 interface.

Note: The USB Type-C to Type-A cable is USB 3.1 Gen 1 interface.

 

Powerful 256-bit AES encryption

Transcend's ESD270C supports 256-bit AES encryption to securely and reliably protect data at the hardware level. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a cryptographic algorithm defined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Encryption and decryption are processed strictly within the SSD controller and completely independent of any OS or program, making hardware-based AES impossible to decipher.

 

One touch to back up all files

The ESD270C is equipped with a convenient auto-backup button for instant data backup when used with Transcend Elite software.

Note: Transcend Elite software is required for One Touch Auto-backup function.

 

Extreme protection, advanced security

Transcend's storage devices provide an exclusive disk lock and security functions. With Transcend Elite software, you can protect your entire drive and the files inside with passwords, meeting the high standard of information security.

 

Manage data with Transcend Elite

Transcend Elite is an advanced software package compatible with macOS, Windows OS, and Android system that helps you manage data. Available as both a desktop and mobile app, it can be downloaded for free from Transcend's official website and from Google Play. Transcend Elite features backup and restore, data encryption, cloud backup, and disk locking functions.

Transcend SSD

Storage Size: 500GB

I bought this compact SSD 1 month ago. Have been using it every day - store and access my dev stuff on it, such as React frontend & backend projects, and MySQL scripts. So far so good.

Handy, fast, small external SSD

Storage Size: 1TB

Good price, plenty fast. Real world backup 24GB in 4 mins ~100MB/s inc. comparing files.
Quick delivery by PBTech.
Very handy having both USB C-C and USB C-A cables as I have two machines, one with no USB-C and the other with no USB-A ports.
Doesn't get as hot as some other external SSDs I have.

A bit of a flimsy construction small and lite

Storage Size: 1TB

I just received this after having the sturdier army-grade version. I was surprised by how plastic this one is. It looks cheap and has a slower speed. I just purchased the tougher teal blue one for 50 dollars more. I wish I had done that in the first place. Also, the cable that comes with this is too short.

A surprisingly small unit for 1.81gbs.

I was surprised at how small it was. There again I am a bit long in the tooth, so new technology is all a surprise. The unit itself was easy to connect to my computer, then I transfered mist of my saved photos and stuff over. No worries at all and still plenty of space for more. So on my opinion, a little beauty. Let's see how long it lasts, which has been the problems I have had in the past with the old technology.

Not the fastest if you're needing speedy transfers, but for the price I would recommend and buy again.

Secure, portable, storage at a good price

Storage Size: 250GB

Best value external SSD I could find (across most of the internet). Well designed, built, packaged. Online website with resources and software is confusing and could be made easier. Would recommend for anyone wanting secure, portable, storage at a good price.
