It works!
This is a very practical and convenient storage device. I formatted mine to provide two logical drives: 1Gb drive for automatic backups of my laptop and 2Gb for storing video projects. The photo shows the drive and the included cable with a (separately purchased) USB-C cable adaptor for a modern MacBook. I’ve used other Transcend drives before. This one feels even more robust. The indicator light clearly shows when the drive is busy and when it is safe to disconnect (previous Transcend drives had an LED which stayed light as long as the unit was powered so it wasn’t always easy to see then the drive was inactive). A great product – highly recommended.

love those drives
just what I was looking for
Denis –
robust, just wish it came in more colours
Really good just wish they had other colours if they did I would of bought a few more so it makes it easier to know whats on the hard drives, I have bought another drive but wish I had paid a bit more for another one of these as if this was dropped on the floor there would be no worries about damaging it, the cheaper drive I bought feels like it would shatter into pieces if dropped

Looks good, feels good
I was looking for a high capacity USB3 drive and already have one of the older Transcend StoreJet (500Gb) drives, so thought I’d give this one a go. My older drive (purchased in 2011, I think) is still going strong and I’ve never had any problems with it.After placing the order, I noticed that the WD Elements equivalent (2TB) drive was 17GBP cheaper. I figured I’d go ahead and order the WD drive too, and return the Transcend drive to Amazon after it arrived. So, why am I leaving a review of a drive I presumably returned? Well, having the two drives side-by-side, I chose to keep the Transcend and send the WD drive back instead.The WD drive is very neat. It’s pretty much a square and is smaller than the Transcend drive but a little thicker. The WD’s housing is nice enough to look at but feels very plasticky and rigid. It has 4 small, rubber feet on the bottom but really feels like it wouldn’t handle bumps and knocks very well and there’s not very much grip on the casing. Straight away, I felt that I’d be forced to handle it with much more care than the Transcend (more on that in a minute) and be worried about it slipping out of my hand whilst carrying it to and from the machine it was purchased to act as a backup for (and I didn’t want to have to end up buying a soft case for it).I can’t attest to build quality, reliability or anything like that, as I’ve literally only had both drives for a couple of days. They both connect without any problems, both write at roughly the same speed in some tests I did (about 26-27MBps on USB2), both are formatted to NTFS (although oddly enough, I seem to remember the WD Elements 2TB drive actually showing up with very slightly more free space than the Transcend…maybe the cluster size is different. Anyway…I’d not even opened the Transcend drive and was midway through boxing it up and processing the return when I figured I could at least just open it. As soon as I had it in my hand, I knew that I’d be keeping this drive instead of the WD Elements. The StoreJet has a really nice rubber casing and although it’s physically a bit bigger than the WD Elements, it feels like it would physically be more sturdy and the grip provided by the rubber casing means that you won’t constantly be worrying about dropping it. Interestingly enough, the Transcend drive’s packaging doesn’t appear to offer as much protection as the WD’s packaging…that could tell you something about how delicate WD seem to think their drive might be. Also, the Transcend comes with a 3yr (albeit “limited”) warranty, over the WD Element’s 2yr.They both come with software that most of us won’t even use (although the version of WD’s backup software is only a 30-day trial, whereas, Transcend’s software seems to be fully functional) and both come with short USB3 cables. I prefer the cable that comes with the WD drive; it’s longer and thinner (therefore, more flexible).I don’t doubt that the WD Elements drive is excellent, I just preferred the Transcend and think the extras (seemingly better protection, longer warranty, etc.) were worth the slightly extra price. I’ll update this review in the coming months if I have any problems with it – if you’re reading this and don’t see an *** UPDATE ***, assume it’s still going strong. 🙂

A good drive to have.
I have two of these drives now and also two of the 1TB drives. I find them to be fast and reliable, not sure about the shock resistant claims as I haven’t ever dropped them to test it and don’t intend to either.I can say I often carry the drives in backpacks that do get manhandled, bumped and knocked about and feel safe knowing they are relatively robust hard drive ( not quiet a drop test but good enough for me )I haven’t had any issues with this drive and intend to purchase another one soon, the only thing I would say is to be careful with the USB 3 lead, it is a little flimsy and likely to break off in the drives port if transported connected in.

Not very Responsive
This product takes a very long time to mount. I am told there is a chkdsk facility in it but sometimes it starts to spin but then doesnt mount at all. This means you cant always access it when you want or at all. I couldnt wait to get my data off it onto an SSD drive as I was also getting a message that there was a problem with the disk and Windows Repair couldnt fix it. I eventually accessed it on a Mac High Sierra and took the data off it bit by bit and deleted as i went just in case it disconnected and went through the chkdsk again. I wouldnt buy it again, but I deal with very large batches of data like 1TB for work. Maybe its OK for personal stuff in much lower volumes, but in trying to transfer 1.05 TB off it, it stopped responding after 871 GB and disconnected. I have wasted so much time with this disk trying to get it to connect to access my data, its like a weight off my mind now I can throw it away.

100% so far
Have had this for a couple of months and it’s been superb. Instantly recognised by every computer I’ve tried it with – and that includes an old XP machine which usually has trouble with modern external drives. Speed – well, I’m not an expert, but the green block seems to move across the screen pretty rapidly. No noise apart from a helpful, rather biological-sounding squeak when you plug it in. Doesn’t doesn’t seem to get very warm, and the rubbery protective skin manages to look good, though haven’t dropped it yet, so can’t speak for shock resistance. Finally, not to be taken for granted given the behaviour of some devices on the market, files get copied with unerring accuracy.

Sauvegarde de données, compact et transportable

è arrivato da poco e subito mi è piaciuto per l’aspetto esterno. Gommato, resistente e colorato. Non scivola su superfici lisce e non rischia di cadere come è facile che succeda quando sul tavolo si hanno tante cose accanto al notebook. E’ molto veloce e silenzioso e non si riscalda anche con un uso prolungato. Se lasciato collegato al computer poi si mette in riposo dopo alcuni minuti di non utilizzo e riparte da solo.Il software in dotazione che permette di fare backup in automatico premendo il tasto che si trova nell’angolo dx non l’ho provato ma penso che dovrebbe essere molto comodo perchè effettua dei salvataggi incrementali. Il tasto è molto ergonomico perchè è localizzato da un cerchietto illuminato ed è contenuto all’interno della superficie gommata. Nessuna sporgenza o spigolosità .E’ enormemente capiente e non è ingombrante. Sono molto soddisfatto.

It has 1/3 the speed of WD hard disks, I don’t why, but it looks like they haven’t update the speed technology as WD hard disks, so for everybody beware if you need higher speed of hard disk, this is very slow.

This is my 2nd purchase of this brand – Transcend. Not only did it come in my favorite color, but these hard drives are so reliable, durable and affordable. Well worth the money!
