Tiny drive with dual connectors

The Transcend ESD310C is a 1 TB portable solid-state drive that fits in a pocket. It ships with both USB Type-A and USB Type-C plugs built into the casing so it can be inserted directly into either port without a separate cable. The aluminium shell protects the drive while keeping the overall footprint minimal. It suits anyone who moves large media libraries between laptops, desktops and tablets.

1 TB capacity with 10 Gbps peak throughput

The drive offers 1 TB of usable space and a 10 Gbps interface that delivers sequential reads up to 1050 MB/s and writes up to 900 MB/s. SLC caching sustains those speeds across big transfers such as video projects or full system backups. Performance drops when the cache fills during sustained multi-hundred-gigabyte writes, and the drive reverts to native flash speeds. It remains backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 hosts at reduced rates.

Plug straight into Type-A or Type-C ports

No cable is required because both connectors are integrated into the drive body. This frees up a port on hubs or docks and eliminates the need to carry an adapter. The drive draws power from the host bus so no external supply is needed. It will not suit users who require a ruggedised IP-rated enclosure or hardware encryption features not present on this model.

Questions about this item

Will the 10 Gbps transfer rate and 1050 MB/s read speed work with my older USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports?

The drive is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports, though speeds will drop to the limits of those older interfaces.

How can I verify the drive is delivering the rated 950 MB/s write performance after I plug it in?

Run a benchmark tool like CrystalDiskMark or AS SSD Benchmark on the drive and compare the sequential write result to the 950 MB/s specification.

Does the box include both the Type-A and Type-C connectors or do I need to buy a separate adapter?

The ESD310C has both USB Type-A and Type-C connectors built directly into the drive, so no separate cables or adapters are required.
