How fast is the Transcend ESD360C?

It uses USB 3.2 Gen 2 and reaches sequential speeds in the 1,000 MB/s class on a compatible port. On USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 ports it runs at those slower standards.

Does it work with a Mac or an iPhone?

Yes. It connects over USB-C, so it works with USB-C Macs, iPads and recent iPhones, and with Windows PCs. Older USB-A devices need an adapter.

Is the drive encrypted?

No. The ESD360C has no hardware encryption or fingerprint reader, so anyone with the drive can read its files. Use software encryption if the data is sensitive.

Can I drop it or get it wet?

Transcend does not rate this model for dust or water resistance. Treat it as an office and travel drive, not a rugged outdoor one.

What comes in the box?

The drive and a USB-C cable. No adapter for USB-A ports is included.

Is it worth it over a cheaper USB flash drive?

Yes for large files. A flash drive is fine for documents, but this SSD moves gigabytes of video or photos far faster and holds up better to repeated large writes.
