For the person who needs storage is a small package. Review: So Far So Good - 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. ## Features - High-Speed Data Transfer: Utilizes a 10Gbps transfer rate with SLC Cache technology, achieving read/write speeds up to 1,050/950 MB/s, accommodating large files such as 4K/8K videos and high-resolution photos. - Retractable USB Type-A Connector: Features a retractable USB Type-A connector for direct plug-and-play convenience without the need for additional cables. - Durable Alloy Construction: Built with high-quality alloy for enhanced durability and includes an integrated lanyard hole for easy attachment. - Broad Device Compatibility: Compatible with multiple operating systems, including Windows and macOS, and supports devices like PCs, laptops, smart TVs, EVs (e.g., Tesla's dashcam and its Sentry Mode), Mac mini/Studio, and gaming consoles. - Five-year Limited Warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CRZFKG8V | | Best Sellers Rank | #347 in External Solid State Drives | | Brand | Transcend | | Color | Soft Gray | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (41) | | Date First Available | January 15, 2024 | | Flash Memory Size | 1 TB | | Hard Drive | 1024 GB Solid State Drive | | Hard Drive Interface | USB 3.0 | | Item Weight | 0.917 ounces | | Item model number | TS1TESD320A | | Manufacturer | Transcend | | Series | ESD320A | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Transcend - **Color:** Soft Gray - **Compatible Devices:** Android, Desktop, Gaming Console, Tablet, iPhone - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Digital Storage Capacity:** 1 TB - **Hard Disk Description:** Solid State Drive - **Hard Disk Form Factor:** 2.5 Inches - **Hard Disk Interface:** USB 3.0 - **Installation Type:** External Hard Drive - **Special Feature:** Data Recovery Service, Portable ## Images ![Transcend 1TB External SSD, USB 3.2 Gen2, Up to 1,050MB/s, Portable SSD with Type A, Retractable Connector Metal Case, for Notebook, Desktop, Smart TV, Silver - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/617MDz5XcsL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Handy storage *by A***R on July 26, 2025* Good price.
