SSD-disk Transcend 512 GB USB Type-C ESD330C brun grå

The ESD330C Portable SSD is a compact external drive from Transcend that offers up to 2TB of storage and a USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) connection through a retractable USB Type-C connector. Its small alloy body includes a lanyard hole and built-in ECC for reliable data integrity, making it suitable for fast transfers of large files between PCs, laptops, tablets, smartphones, and supported gaming consoles.

Advantages

The ESD330C delivers very high sequential read/write speeds (up to 1050/950 MB/s) thanks to SLC cache technology and USB 3.2 Gen 2 support, while remaining backward compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 devices. The retractable USB-C plug removes the need for an external cable, and the durable alloy enclosure and five-year limited warranty provide physical robustness and manufacturer support. Hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption and Transcend Elite software enable password protection and data management.
