Transcend TS1TSJ25M3 1TB StoreJet M3 Military Drop Tested USB 2.0 External Hard Drive

I am always skeptical to try new brands. I am typically a Western Digital fan. But over the years Western Digital has started to let me down. I have never heard of the brand transcend. I read all the specifications of this particular hard drive and really liked what it had to offer. I went ahead and purchased the hard drive and upon arrival it was definitely quality. I open the box and the hard drive was extremely durable. I noticed the button in order to lock certain files. I also noticed the USB cord 3.0. I immediately began to transfer files over from my computer drive. The transferring rate was fairly quick. I transferred several gigs in files. It didn't take longer than about eight minutes. I like the smooth quality of the case and the durability of it all. Since this is military proof, I feel more confident. I have dropped so many Western Digital hard drives and lost so much important data that I just couldn't risk that again. This is why I purchased a Transend hard drive. As for right now, I'm extremely happy with this purchase. The drive is priced at a reasonable price and the quality is extremely well done. I recommend it if you are looking for secure backup.

I bought this usb drive to use with my digital photos. I work on a laptop and, because I take raw digital images, I wanted someplace to store my photos off of my machine. The logical solution was, of course, an external usb drive but, since my cat loves to jump on my lap or on the sofa when I am working, I worried about the possible damage to the drive from sudden movements. This was my solution to that problem. After reading some of the reviews I assumed that I would need two cables, one for data and one for power, and that there would be two usb connections on the drive. So, first off, let me be clear about what is and what is not needed to use this drive. This drive itself has only a single usb 3.0 connection. The cable that comes with the drive is a Y cable with two connectors for the usb connections on the computer, but only one connection on the drive itself. As I said, the Y cable has two computer connections, but the wires are not the same. The thicker one is for data and the thinner one for power. So, to check the drive, I connected the usb connection on the drive and then first connected the data cable to the computer. To my surprise the drive spun up and my laptop identified it as a Transcend usb drive even though I had not, at this point, connected the power cable. Since I was surprised I did some checking and found out that the drive worked properly without the power connection to the computer being plugged in at all. I then checked the drive with the Y cable with both connections and the drive worked properly. I then tried the drive with a spare usb 3.0 cable I had for some other usb drives and the drive also worked properly. If I had read the documentation before trying the drive I would have seen that the second wire is only needed for some machines which don't supply sufficient power to run the drive itself. Others, like my laptop, work perfectly with only a standard usb 3.0 cable. I tested speed transfers using both the provided cable, with both connections, and a standard usb 3.0 cable. I found that I had a transfer speed of about 63MB/s with both data and power connections and about 10% lower with only the single connection. Since I was transferring different data in the two transfers I cannot be sure that the difference was the power connection as it could also have been the different data. Fewer large files should transfer more quickly than more smaller files and that is what my testing was comparing. Given that I cannot even be sure that there is a difference of speed in the transfers. The speed I saw on my laptop was about the same as the other usb 3.0 drives that I have used with the same kind of file transfers. In summary, not all computers will need to use both the data and power connections to use this drive. I assume stronger machines provide enough power to the usb connections to run this drive alone and that relieves my concern about losing this cable. Since some of the reviews I read on this product were misleading I thought I should quickly post what I saw when using this drive. I have not had much time to use it so I am not yet sure it will continue to function properly and, because of that, I will update this review if needed. But my experience since the drive arrived yesterday afternoon is that the drive functions as well as any other usb 3.0 drive I have, transfers data as quickly and seems to be a lot more rugged. The ruberized grip on the drive is easy to handle and should prevent me from accidentally dropping it. As of this point I can see no reason to give this drive anything other than 5 stars.

I purchased this because I fear that my laptop's built in hard drive is about to die on me. I figured it would be better to back up my data now just in case instead of waiting for the inevitable and then having lost all my data. The hard drive on my 4 year old HP Pavilion dv7t 7000 is only 750GB, so I could easily have fit the entire contents of my hard drive on this external one. Transferring data from my computer onto this drive was as simple as plugging it in and then it showed up as removable storage in the file manager. I dragged and dropped the files I wanted to keep onto this drive. The transfer speed was very fast, I was quite pleased. One thing about this drive that I don't care much for is the backup button. My understanding is that it is supposed to work with Transcend's backup software, but it is completely useless to me as I was unable to get the software to function. It was working for a few minutes (albeit with a very confusing interface) and then it crashed and I was unable to get it working again. Overall this is a great external drive if you are okay with manually backing up your files. If the software and backup button are important to you, I recommend looking elsewhere or making sure the software works on your computer before buying the drive.

This is a great portable external hard drive. The drive has a very nice coating that sticks securely in your hand, but not to sticky to slide in and out of pockets easily. I use it primarily to store and watch movie files. I have over 800gb of data on it and my files still load up super fast on usb 2.0 connection. It does seem to hibernate when not in use and the only time it heated up to a noticeable degree is when transferring files for over an hour, and was still cooler than some of my other external hard drives with less use. I cannot speak for the software that comes with it, as i do not use it for data back up, however i did browse the backup software and it had a nice user interface with all necessary function for average user. It does have two usb connections, one is a dedicated power source, and one is a usb 3.0 connection. it is not necessary to use both connections if you have limited free usb ports, just plug in the usb 3.0 and your on your way. I am ordering another identical drive right now. I have only been using this drive for weeks so im not sure about long term durability, but i am quite confident this drive will last for ages.
