Transcend 500GB USB 3.1 Gen 2 USB Type-C ESD370C Portable SSD Solid State Drive TS500GESD370C

Great little unit for backups
I bought this to handle my incremental backups of the PC. It has performed excellently so far. It will burst transfer rates over 100MByte/sec and is flawlessly simulating a disk drive. Even after 20 minutes of solid I/O activities no heat problem has been seen.I am thoroughly pleased with it and recommend it to anyone looking for a portable SSD of this size.

Good solid build
I am holding off on my opinion a bit because i have only used two of these to transfer video files.There were issues with another brand so it was suggested to use these,I bought two 1T drives and 12T drive.The first drive experienced a slowdown during the transfer of a large file, so it worried me a bit.The second drive gave me no issues.At first blush, the specs. And robust build makes this seem perfect for my application.I will revisit this review after a few more experiences.

Easy, Fast and Convenient
Great for business users – small form factor, quality product with SSD reliability and enhanced I/O

Klein, leicht und die Datenübertragung ist schnell.Robust ist das Teil auch noch. Was will man mehr?

I’ll start with the negatives. Like my other Transcend SSD portable drive it gets warm to the touch when operating. Not uncomfortably so but enough to notice. I also have not yet been able to reach the transfer rates shown. Other than that it is identical to my previous portable drive, but with an outer shell that probably absorbs some heat. It is small, lightweight and fits neatly into most places and pockets. You can buy cheaper portable drives but I have not had a Transcend fail yet so you pay your money and take your choice. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to either have a back-up or a handy, take anywhere, portable drive.
