Poor quality, not suitable for use.

After the failure of the previous disk and the expensive recovery of information, this model was purchased on the advice. At first, there were no complaints, but after a year of operation, the connector began to "naughty", the connection constantly fell off. Soon, the contacts simply came off. A Toshiba brand carrier was found inside the box and was successfully moved to another case. A week ago, the disk began to live its own life, work when you want and be determined only on TV and media…

Pros
  • Compact, secure
Cons
  • Flimsy usb connector, unreliable drive

I'm impressed! Exactly the product deserves your attention.

It was the first hard USB 3.0 at the beginning of December 2022 at an adequate price, and since I had the same one only for 320 gigs and USB 2.0, and I was completely satisfied with it, then I bought this one. The kit comes with software that formats a subject to NTFS in a minute, I think this is a quick format. Note the throughput of USB 2.0 is 480 Mbps or 60 Mb/s, Expresscard is 2.5 Gbps or 312.5 Mb/s, and USB 3.0 is 5 Gbps or 625 Mb/s, so I have a hard drive through the Expresscard USB 3.0

Pros
  • The speed even on USB 2.0 on my Sony VAIO AW1RXU / Q laptop reaches 35 MB / sec on average 23 for reading, 27 for writing on average 20. for files over 1000 MB.
Cons
  • Today I bought a NEC USB 3.0 Expresscard 34 controller for 2 holes, when I connect the subject, the light is blue, the same files over 1000 MB are written to it at a speed of 43 MB / s, copied from it to a computer at a speed of 70-75 MB / s at the beginning, then it drops significantly - up to 45, so the increase was from 60 to 100 percent, which is very good for me, but still does not reach 90 MB / s of recording, although it may be the controller's fault, after all, it has a nominal half the bandwidth of USB 3.0

Everything in the purchase suits, a very necessary product.

I really liked the model, except that it was formatted in FAT32. I did not pay attention to this after the purchase. But when, after a month of use, I began to upload a 4-gig file to it, I realized what was happening. However, it was already too late. reformatting without data backup is not a good idea. So I recommend reformatting it immediately after purchase to a more suitable file system, for example, to NTFS.

Pros
  • - quiet - Appearance and tactile sensations from the rubberized body. - Easy to connect. - The speed of USB 2.0 and the pledge for the future - USB 3.0
Cons
  • - originally formatted in FAT32.

The worst product for your money, I do not recommend it to anyone.

At the end of December 2022 I bought a hard drive. In mid-February 2022, Hard suddenly died. In the evening I still worked with him, in the morning - I stopped connecting. The light did not light up, the disk made a squeak, as if it was trying to start, but it did not work. There were no official warranty workshops in 2022, sending abroad is expensive and inconvenient. I had to look for data recovery - about 10 thousand came out. I was unpleasantly surprised by the hard one, my first hard one…

Pros
  • Price, appearance, write speed
Cons
  • fragility. Lasted 1.5 months

Unsatisfactory quality, I will not buy this again.

Tales about super-strength, their off-site videos of how they drop it, and other complete nonsense. There were two 500GB hard drives, the first one, while working with it, fell from the system unit to the floor (the computer was on the floor) and the entire disk died, the use time was about a month. It was replaced under warranty for exactly the same, a week later, well, the son accidentally dropped from his meter height to the floor (linoleum), all the hard died. Instead, they gave me a…

Pros
  • does not slip in the hands and lies firmly on the surfaces.
Cons
  • Not shockproof!

The quality is top notch and I recommend the product for purchase.

I've been using it for about 3 years now. It is constantly in operation, it is used as a media storage, it constantly downloads and distributes a torrent (not 24/7 of course), watching movies from it on a TV via DLNA. There are no complaints about work and workmanship. I never took out the wires from the hardest one, just twisted it and that's it, probably that's why I didn't gouge the connector. Someone in the review wrote that the wires are supposedly short, but these are not garden hoses…

Pros
  • + Quiet + Doesn't heat up + Works great + Collapsible housing + Rubber boot + Sufficiently long wires
Cons
  • - Add. power cord (when connected to USB 1.0 and to USB hubs without additional power supply) - The case is larger than that of competitors (a tribute to the buns that protect against falls)

I will never repeat this purchase.

Received as a gift. Factory packaging, no signs of opening. Checked on PC and TV. In both cases, the contents (factory files) of the disk were read. After two months of storage in a room in its original packaging, I tried to write information on it. But the disk showed no signs of life; none at all: no sounds, no blinking diode. The controller is probably broken. Why? Unsolved mystery.

Pros
  • design
Cons
  • broke down after the third connection to a PC, non-repairable, no service center and representative office in 2022

Absolutely unusable product, not suitable for use.

worked well without fail, the data transfer rate is high, the TV was detected without problems, it did not warm up. in general, it worked well, but not for long. A year later, the PC began to see it every other time (CRC error), the TV determined, but began to freeze. I removed the case and connected it directly, the same garbage, after testing it gave out 90 percent bad sectors. When I disassembled the case, a sticker with the Samsung logo was glued on the hard drive itself.

Pros
  • served its purpose well. until the warranty ran out
Cons
  • died a year later. Nobody dropped it, etc.

The best thing Ive ever used, a great item for everyone!

I have this device for 2 days. There are no job orders. As mentioned above, that it buzzes strongly vibrates, I did not reveal this. One USB cable is included in the package. Anyone who wants to buy it to watch movies in advance contact the manufacturer of your TV, write what model of TV you have and what hard drive you want to connect. I was told that the Transcend TS1TSJ25M3 should come with additional power to connect to a TV.

Pros
  • Price, good design, pleasant to the touch and, most importantly, shockproof case.
Cons
  • The only thing is that when I connected it to the Philips 50PFL5008T / 60 TV and watched the avatar, the film weighed 30GB after a short period of time, the film began to freeze, I had to rewind and it helped. I thought the film was a defective film but no. I did this by connecting the hard drive to my computer. I connected the HDMI cable from the computer to the TV set, these glitches disappeared. I came to this conclusion: no matter how the manufacturer convinces that he does not need an additional power source, in fact he needs it.

Everything about the product satisfied me, the price is perfect.

11/27/2022 made an order at 2 am. Transcend 1Tb 25m3 external hard drive is a top model that passed the US military shock/vibration/cold test. The disc is excellent, but only in this world, everyone and everything has manufacturing defects. I have always been lucky in life, I myself am an IT specialist, I am engaged in the selection of equipment and I sit on reviews and a forum for two / three weeks before buying something. I chose the top model, I knew that there was a marriage, like everyone…

Pros
  • Price (for shockproof) compactness Design (I like it) Good, better than the gray version of h3 input, they began to put a new cable - thinner and 5 cm longer
Cons
  • Marriage happens to everyone. And so, I wanted a plug for the entrance, but no.

The product did not cause delight, but you can use it.

It's good that the program on the computer managed to work and warned of an instant drop in health according to SMART from 100 to 9% per day. I managed to pull out the information through the docking station. There was a Seagate/Samsung Momentum inside and the cause of death is standard for this disc - out of the blue, packs of bad blocks are pouring in: now this is the third such dead disc with the same cause of death.

Pros
  • Compact, secure
Cons
  • Service life - worked for three years and died out of the blue .

It can't be worse! A waste of money.

does not work, the wire does not work well. I immediately took it back to the <shop>, the master blew somewhere, spat, everything worked. I tried it in the settings department - it also worked. There seems to be no reason to replace. How the fool went home - again does not work. Only when he sat down on it, appeared. But I can't repeat. It is not seen either in a laptop (not in one connector), or in a normal computer.

Pros
  • looks nice
Cons
  • does not work

The product can be used, I expected a little more.

Unfortunately, Transcend stuffs anything into this good case. If you are lucky enough to come across a Toshiba hard drive (used to come across in the cases of this manufacturer), now they are moving to Seagate (Samsung HN-M101MBB), which has a disgusting effect on quality. Be sure to look in any program (for example AIDA64) what kind of railway is in the box. If Seagate (Samsung) is there, then this unit will work from 4 to 10 months. Then the d / w will sprinkle. Well (this can be attributed…

Pros
  • The speed is almost 100 MB / s, a good case.
Cons
  • Buying this railway is like playing the lottery. Details in the comments.

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

Before him was Seagate 3.5 for 1 TB, bought for 5500r. Worked almost 15 hours a day. Noisy, bulky, required mains power. The only plus is the beautiful, even very, backlight. Broke after six months. I didn’t repair it, I didn’t restore the information. Still, there is nothing more important. Instead, I bought 640 gigs for 3000. Satisfied with work so far.

Pros
  • Quiet, very quiet. There are no fingers left. They write that shockproof =) Powered by USB cable Beautiful and easy to use USB 3 is only 500r more expensive than its USB 2 counterpart
Cons
  • I bought it because of the presence of USB 3, but the laptop has USB2, so the transfer speed could not be checked

Impressions from the purchase are good, buy.

Bought this CD a few years ago. The device works well - without noise, without any whistles and other unnecessary sounds. It always helps out in difficult times - when you need to save something for a long time. I noticed that if there is not enough space left on the disk, then it starts with a delay. I wish it always started faster. The disc has an excellent optical surface, slightly rough, so it does not slip on the table, which is also important. I reformatted its file system to NTFS…

Pros
  • Sturdy surface, quiet operation, nice price.
Cons
  • It doesn't start as fast as I would like.

Average purchase, there is something to complain about.

I have a Transcend of the same series, old, USB2, with orange instead of green, 500GB. Yes, "green" is noticeably faster (2-3 times). I also tested the read speed in blocks under 4KB (about 20MB / s, and the old one gives out half as much). But, the old disk is nicer to me: 1) The old disk does not have an annoyingly bright diode, during periods of no reading / writing. 2) The old Transcend is much quieter. I practically don’t hear the old one at all, if I don’t deliberately listen (I live…

Pros
  • The use of USB3.0 is justified. 100MB \ s - they would not fit into USB2.0.
Cons
  • 2. Stupid diode. 1. Not so quiet.

Nothing ordinary, a normal product.

Low speed and why! Bought 3 pieces, for the organization of backup storage. I installed all 3 disks on different machines, deployed data copying through TranscendElite (very convenient firmware, even such a kettle as I figured out). The task before the disks was the following, to make backup copies of data (without compression or archiving, just copies) every day after 20:00. Each disk accounted for about 180-200 gigabytes of data (no photos, and no heavy large files) So, the data did not have…

Pros
  • Impact resistant. Convenient built-in software.
Cons
  • Low data write speed.

I am amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

fell from the table to the floor on the edge, the blow was hard, but the disk works. the case is not decorative, but really saves from hard falls I recently purchased a drive from Seagate, in a thin aluminum case, I thought it was cool, but it turned out to be very slippery, with a slight slope of the surface it is ready to jump into the abyss, after the only fall of the Seagate and the loss of 1 TB, I realized that now I will not exchange the rubberized case for anything, reliably in your…

Pros
  • when owning several disks, it is convenient to distinguish between them
Cons
  • the rubberized case collects dust (if it matters to you), with a native cable it is not detected on all TVs (but this is not a minus, take a regular micro USB and the disk is already visible on all TVs with USB ports)

Not everything is so bad, the average purchase in quality.

It works fine with a computer, both 2.0 and 3.0, but the increase in write speed is 3-fold (not 10) compared to 2.0. For those who take to work, including with a TV, I’m sorry I didn’t see the disk (6 hours of torment, it didn’t bring any results). I tried a fellow 2.0, everything works well, I immediately saw, add. USB did not need to be turned on. And this one passed back, because. The main purpose of the acquisition is to work with a TV.

Pros
  • Rubber case, USB 3.0, indication 2.0/3.0
Cons
  • Noisier than brothers 2.0 (but not much), otherwise there is no difference except! Acquired to work with a TV for watching video, LG TV 2022 model year (omnivorous for formats), he did not see an external drive, he tried different file systems, without additional power, with additional power incl. through the socket with the help of USB module, settings on the TV, there is no result, it does not see everything.
