Compact, stylish and affordable

The Transcend ESD230C is a great option for those users looking for a relatively inexpensive external SSD without the bells and whistles. It's simple, fairly fast, light (only 35g), no bigger than a credit card, and fits easily in the same purse. And it will definitely not be superfluous there, the black matte case with a corrugated finish looks stylish and expensive. Plus, it is protected from scratches and will not lose presentability over time.

460 Mbps write and 520 Mbps read

Hidden inside the case is an SSD from Transcend with a capacity of 480 GB. Despite the price, the drive turned out to be quite fast and in some places even outperforms more expensive counterparts. According to the passport, we have 460 MB / s when writing and 520 MB / s when reading. What is especially good is that in synthetic tests the picture is similar, and the drawdown is minimal. In addition, unlike many drives with SLC caching, it has a slight speed drop when loading "large-caliber" files. At the same time, for some reason, the drive does not like stress tests and sags great in them. However, that's what they are stress tests for, in real life, few people will scoff at the disk like that.

Transcend Elite Utilities

The drive is loaded with a set of proprietary Transcend Elite utilities that allow you to create specific data archiving templates — for example, back up data from specific folders and at a specific time. It is worth noting that Transcend Elite can do a lot more, including recovering accidentally deleted data or returning disk health after irreversible errors.
