Transcend ESD310C 2 TB portable SSD

The Transcend ESD310C is a 2 TB external solid-state drive built for users who need fast, portable storage across devices with different USB ports. Its compact aluminium enclosure protects data during transport while remaining light enough for daily carry. The drive connects through either a USB Type-A or Type-C interface, removing the need for separate adapters. It suits creative professionals and general users who move large files between laptops, desktops and mobile devices.

Sustained transfer behaviour

Sequential read speeds reach up to 1050 MB/s and write speeds up to 950 MB/s over the USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 link. The aluminium casing acts as a passive heatsink, helping the controller maintain performance during extended copy operations rather than throttling after a short burst. Real-world throughput will vary with the host controller, cable quality and file mix, but the hardware is designed to stay near its rated ceiling for longer workloads. Thermal management is handled silently without a fan.

Compatibility checklist

Verify that your host provides a USB Type-A or Type-C port capable of USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 bandwidth to achieve the advertised speeds; older ports will work but at reduced rates. Ensure your operating system supports the exFAT or NTFS file system you intend to use for volumes larger than 4 GB. No external power adapter is required, but the host port must supply sufficient bus power for the drive to spin up reliably. Check cable length and orientation constraints in your workspace before ordering.

Questions about this item

How much heat or power does the Transcend ESD310C draw when running all day?

The aluminium casing acts as a passive heatsink, so the drive stays cool without a fan and draws only the 5 V bus power supplied by the USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 port.

Which cables or ports must I already have to use the Transcend ESD310C?

The box includes both a USB Type-A and a USB Type-C cable, so any host with a standard USB-A or USB-C socket works immediately.

Will the Transcend ESD310C run at full speed on my older USB 3.0 laptop?

It is backward compatible; on a USB 3.0 port speeds drop to that port's 5 Gbps limit, while on a USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 port reads reach 1050 MB/s and writes 950 MB/s.
