Transcend 1TB External SSD, Up to 1,050MB/s, Dual USB Hard Drive for Tesla, iPhone15,16&iPad&Mac, Steam Deck/ROG Ally/MSI Claw/Windows/Android/PS5/Smart TV, 2-in-1 Type C &A, USB 3.2 Gen2 Portable SSD

Exceptionally fast speed, much more than expected. This is very very good. This is now my go-to USB stick with speeds resembling directly connected SSD‘s.

This drive is spacious, cool and super fast. The attached figure shows the speed of this drive when connected via USB-C. USB-A speed is hindered by USB 3.2 (USB-A port) speed and runs about half. I not only have a 1 TB model, I have the 512 GB version as well and It's just as fast. Transcend has a huge winner on it's hand with this model. I guarantee that when I need another drive, I'm sticking with Transcend. Highly recommend this manufacturer and model

I'm giving this the 5 stars it hugely deserves for price and capacity. I'm expecting longevity as well, since so far everything I've purchased from Transcend has been problem-free. If it doesn't last, I'll come back and grumpily remove some stars.I'm not using this for incessant daily transfers, but more as an exceedingly handy all-purpose storage bin. And it definitely requires 3.0 after it starts to fill up, or you'll be waiting longer than you are used to these days. I didn't love it laboring away on a 2.0 connection. But 3.0 is fine for my purposes.And I appreciate that it works without fuss with everything from an antique netbook to several laptops of various vintages and powers. When I do want to share something among my widely varied collection of this and that, it is a pleasure to have this wonderful capacity.Don't fool around with the all-important aspects of learning smooth connection and disconnection practices with this. Take care, don't yank and pull but go slow. You'll save yourself a lot of trouble by noticing precisely how this device wants to be connected and disconnected. (In the last 20 years, every USB device I ever bought was a little different than every other one--- and they all still work well. I'm certain it pays to be faintly obsessive about this part.)I keep all my uncapped USB drives in zipped cases to keep the dust out. Capped, uncapped, somewhat capped: it matters.Some years ago I accidentally sent a Transcend 64 GB flash drive through a washing machine cycle. Because it was securely capped it still works as well as before. So I'm just more careful where I take the slide-in varieties like this one.The real question is: how much in the way of educational material, cultural enjoyment, tech-tools and sheer fun would you like to carry around?

I purchased this drive to store and play music in my new Mazda. My vehicle requires a thumb drive to be formatted in FAT32. Fair warning, Windows explorer will not format anything over 32GB in FAT32. I tried alternate methods using the cmd prompt, but was unsuccessful. I finally had one of my daughter's friends reformat it, and she was successful. I did contact the manufacturer, who would only confirm that "it could" be formatted in FAT32, but never answered my queries on methods.In the end, it is now working, and as I do not like MP3's, I am putting all of my favorite CD's, in wav format, on the drive for in car use. I bought the 1 TB drive, and so far have 76 albums loaded so far. Based on the space still available, I estimate I can store approximately 1750 albums total, in wav format. That is amazing.

Easy to use. Fast transfer.

This is my 2nd Transcend flash drive, and my 4th storage device from Transcend overall. Not one of their products has ever had an issue or error for me, even after years of abuse, so I would say that I definitely trust their products. So let me get into the pros/cons of this particular drive:PROS:-Massive storage capacity! It blows me away that 128gb can fit on a flash drive these days-Speed: Although I haven't done an official speed test, the USB 3.0 seems to transfer large (10gb+) files very fast-Physical size is very small. I was pleasantly surprised at how tiny this thing is, as it looked a bit larger in the stock photos. It's very thin, and barely longer than a standard house key.-Design: This may be more of a personal opinion, but I find the physical appearance to be very aesthetically pleasing, thin, and sleek.CONS:-Lightweight plastic construction. Although I've never had a Transcend drive break on me, I do think this one just 'feels' cheaper.-The slider is a little loose. It's not bad, but I somehow wish that there was a more definitive 'click' when you slide the USB end out or in. It simply should be sturdier.-Bright LED light. This could be a pro or con, depending on your preferences, but the blue LED indicator is quite bright. I like it, but when the lights are off and I'm watching a movie it can be a bit distracting.CONCLUSION:Although it has a few drawbacks, I think this drive is the best flash drive money can buy right now. At it's current price, it's about the same money-wise as it's competitors, but it looks a million times better. As long as the plastic material of which it's made holds up overtime, this review will remain a 5/5. Highly recommended!

I purchased this after another DJ on a forum recommended it. I am very wary of these types of devices simply because I use them in a DJ environment and if you have a bad one, it can be a bad time when you are trying to perform. I purchased it based on that other recommendation but had my usual Samsung as a back up. the speed as advertised very fast. The great thing about this particular flash drive is the fact that it has both USB. You can plug it into your MacBook Pro with the USB, eject it then plug it into your favorite CDJ without having to use a dongle.
