Customers find this external hard drive to be a great choice with lots of storage capacity and fast file transfer rates.
Fast shipping and great drive. I love that it has the USB-C so I can easily connect to my iPhone and iPad for quick backup and storage of my larger image and video files. Extremely fast download and upload speeds. Read more
If you are anything like me when it comes to gaming, you will want this external drive to store games that cannot fit on your system's internal drive. If you are involved in any other tasks that require data storage, this drive is also suitable for you. Games are being increasingly produced on a grand scale. It is standard for a game to be 100GB in size lately. Even if you have a large internal drive of 2TB, that means you would only be able to store twenty games or fewer on it. Avid gamers like myself know that having sufficient game space on a system is a necessity. This external drive can easily handle 40+ games of considerable. Of course, game storage is not the only ability of this external drive. With 4TB of storage space, it can hold thousands of photos, songs, videos, and files. I have downloaded 12 large game files (about 760 GB of data) onto the drive, and I still have 83% of disk space free. It is rugged and sturdy. I have dropped it too many times, and it continues to function perfectly. I always check a product's weight-to-size ratio. It is not always true, but I have found that if a small item has significant weight to it, it is built to last. The casing is of a rough, rubber-like material. The material is to keep it from being too slippery to handle. I dropped mine just because I am clumsy. The drive is a plug-and-play one. I did not have to format it or take steps to get it operating. I simply plugged it into a USB port on my computer and started saving to it. The upload and download speeds are exceptional (600MB per second). The disk reads data at 5GB per second with a rotational speed of 5200 rpm. I purposely downloaded, deleted, and rewrote data on the same sector of the disk to see if there was a degradation of the data. There was none after many attempts. I wrote those things to convey that the drive performs exceptionally. My final analysis is that I highly recommend the drive. It performs better than I thought it would and has provided a convenient place to store downloads of various media, without worrying about being able to retrieve the data readily. It is well made, and I will have this drive and its full functionality for many years to come. Read more
I've used these external drives for photo storage and system backup forever and have had zero probs or failures. My original 750GB version is over 10 years old, has been around the world many times including to the Arctic and still works fine. My current 2GB version seems to be a little faster and of the same or better quality. Highly recommended! I have a number of Transcend products and they're all excellent. Read more
Great product fast process was able to save a lotes of my files Read more
I have owned several of these Transcend drives over the years...love them! For external HDD's their speed is respectable. I also find it very rugged and reliable, and the small size is a plus. I will definitely buy again. I also bought another one (in a different color) for redundancy. Read more
This item is very easy to use and I love that it comes with two plug in options. My new computer just died, so I was very happy to have everything backed up on an external hard drive. The price was very comparable to other products and it seems like it could handle being jostled around. It is very light weight and speed of transfer is very quick. Read more
Did what we needed Read more
I purchased this Transcend hard drive expecting reliability, but it completely failed after just one day of use. I transferred around 400 photos and 10GB of videos, and the next morning the drive was no longer recognized by my computer — no light, no detection, nothing. I tried multiple USB ports, different laptops, and even a SATA adapter — no luck. The device makes a faint beep but is completely inaccessible. For a product that’s supposed to store and protect valuable data, this is unacceptable. Now I have to deal with data recovery (with huge extra cost) just to get my files back. And I can't even return it back due to confidential info on it. The “rugged” design clearly doesn’t mean reliable performance. Save yourself the frustration — spend a little more on a brand that actually works. Read more
