The Transcend ESD420 is a 1TB external SSD that uses USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 to reach sequential read and write speeds of up to 2,000 MB/s. Its standout feature is a magnetic base that snaps onto the back of a MagSafe iPhone or a metal surface, so it can ride along for direct-to-drive phone recording. It suits creators who move large files between a laptop and a phone, and it competes with other 20Gbps portables on speed while adding the magnet. The catch is that full speed needs a Gen 2x2 host port, which many laptops and phones lack.

Owner feedback on the ESD420 centers on its magnetic mounting and fast transfers, with the biggest caveat being that real-world speed depends heavily on the host port. Buyers who pair it with a compatible Gen 2x2 device report near-advertised throughput; others see far lower numbers.
