I use the exact SSD on my PC and I'm just really amazed by its performance. I Stored Movies and even edit with it using demanding softwares, tested it by transferring huge files like TV series back and forth and I say its pretty fast for an external SSD that is literally the size of your thumb (or even smaller lol). So far this SSD is a tiny beast for me. Worth every penny! 👍🏼👍🏼
Have you tried recording ProRes Log 60 fps with these? I've tried doing that using UHS-1 SD and card reader but can only handle ProRes Log 30 fps and nothing above that. I'm thinking of getting this so I can do an external recording at 60 fps.
Would you recommend this over the bigger portable ssd's such as the Crucial X8/X6, Samsung T7 Shield, or Kingston XS2000? I originally want an Adata SE880 but unfortunately, it is not available in my country.
This is small size for those who dont want to carry bigger, portable SSDs. Your choices vs this in speed will be close, but of course due to the ESD310C's smaller size, it'll throttle faster than bigger SSD's, which is the rule in this tech. It can be fast, but it'll be hot faster, so be sure to anticipate how big the files you want to transfer at a time. I recommend moving it in batches
Terima kasih sbb review. Boleh buat review test shoot prores log iphone tak? sbb saya nak guna shoot raw guna MotionCam kat android. Boleh review skali ssd pendrive brand ssk yg 1000mb/s?
this happens to lots of portable memory today, it's called throttling. However, to reach that level of throttling requires a very uncommonly high volume of data to move around, and more informed users usually would split their transfers to prevent overheating since no products in this category is free of that issue.
Thanks for a useful review of the drive. One tiny thing, it's a lot easier to parse Crystal Disk Mark data on the table it produces. We have all seen that table so many times, that we can quickly glance and take in what we need to know. It took much longer with your on screen text. Sorry to be picky, but feedback has to be useful... Surely?
Hi! I'm currently looking for an SSD for my Macbook Air to increase it's storage since I edit videos on Final Cut Pro. Should I get this compared to other SSDs like Samsung T7 Shield which are more expensive? Currently on a budget.
Nice review bro , i want to buy ssd for backing up iphone 15 photos and videos but in doubt with this Transcend 310C and other ssd like sandisk or even planning on buying internal ssd with enclosure please suggest me which is good i think this one is good for usability but i cant find anywhere the speed comparison between this and other ssds…pls help

@@barir8884 yes, you need to use USB c to get the full speed. UJSB A 35mb is more or less the correct bandwidth. Newer laptops with USB C ports will support much faster speed
Both USB-A and USB-C ends on this unit support USB 3.2 Gen 2 and up to 10Gbps. But obviously if USB-A is connected to an old USB 2.0 port it will only deliver that lower speed.
@@ZenTheGeek Can it handle 60 fps ProRes Log recording? SD cards can only handle up to 30 fps, so I'm wondering if this is a viable option for that specific use case.
yes, but you still need to monitor temperature as it's a really small piece of memory. Heat is sensitive, and will affect the speeds of the memory, and that in turn will affect smoothness, load times and FPS. Also, prolonged exposure to high heat for such tech will eventually damage it, so do be careful. It's worth a try regardless.
BEWARE: My work gave me a brand new Transcend portable SSD and it lasted about a month. Once it got to 50%-75% full, it just stopped playing ball. Constantly hangs and would crash my computer. It is my work HD and I almost lost all of my files as a result. It has one job, and it failed at it in record time. Be warned.
I understand your frustration, but how does one failure conclude that an entire product line is faulty? It's fair that you might not want to support the brand after this, but what happened to you might have been just a faulty product that could be replaced. If you could get another SSD from the same brand AND it failed on you AGAIN, then I would believe you. One fault does not represent a brand's quality in total. I'm not being bias, I'm just being fair. Doesn't matter if I had an SSD from any other brand, because it can happen there, in tech, there are no guarantees
@@ZenTheGeek Hang on - I didnt draw that conclusion in my comment, nowhere did I say the entire product line is faulty. I simply offered my experience with this brand.
Hi, I followed how CrystalDiskMark writes it as MB/s, so it's megabytes per second. I didn't need to speak or comment about it in the benchmarks as the results are already there and I needed to keep the video shorter. Thank you regardless and have a nice day!
I bought a transcend ESD310S I can't tell you how sorry I am! I paid a lot more money than I did for Kingstom! The disk got so hot that I burned myself on it! And I hadn't used it, I just plugged it into my laptop! Then I tried to write some information on it! My laptop told me that I have reached a critical temperature on one of my USB ports! Please don't be fooled into spending your money on this thing! It's not worth it and one thing is clear, the information you store on this disk will be irretrievably lost!
Every product will and will not perform in ideal scenarios. It's simply the nature of things. All brands may exaggerate their performance but so far it's worked for me and MY needs. You will need to elaborate on your requirements, and if it's more demanding than what this product offers, then it's simply not for you, it's not a bad product for me and a lot of people in my field that adopted the same product.
For a self-contained flash thumb drive without a cable if you think 800 MB/s is bad for a 20 GB file then you not well informed. Most throttle much worse than that. I’m frankly sceptical these times are real. We will see. Good speeds.

have you tried editing out from the stick? can it handle 4k editing?
it can, but definitely not for not more than an hour, the throttling will be insane it's not built for that

Hey thanks for the review! Does it comes ready to transfer files between Windows and Mac or it needs a re-format?
personal experience, can move between OS without needing a weird format each time
Is it true that it gets so hot that after a few minutes, the transfer rate drops to 40MB/s ?

Yes this is a great choice though I'd also consider the more advanced model of this, the ESD410C

Yes, you can use this to back up your photos and videos on the iphone 15. It's fast and efficient so don't worry.
@@ZenTheGeekI bought iPhone 16 Pro but I can’t use it.! Would you please guide me how to use it?
Good day! Does it work on smart tv? Thanks.
As in like loading movies or music and slotting it in to play? Then yes
What's the difference between ESD310C and ESD310S ?
oh, that's just the color code, S would be silver, C would be black. You may see it here : www.transcend-info.com/product/portable-ssd/esd310 scroll all the way to the bottom!
Would this be a good option for games such as bo3? Or would this most likely overheat playing the game?
Will definitely overheat
Will it work with lumafusion on an ipad pro? I am worried about potential thermal issues.
work with lumafusion in terms of importing media directly in the app without importing it via files?
Can I connect on iphone 14 pro max using type c to lightening adapter. If possible may I know the writing speed from phone to USB ?

Hey how i can connect this ssd to my iphone 15 plus? Its connect to android phone but not connected to my iphone n macbook air?
you can
Can I use it for heavy games?
No sir, definitely it will overheat and cause throttle, do not take the risk
Will this work with iPhone 13 if I’m using a lightning to usb 3.0 adaptor?
can't confirm, been using it with 15 and 15 works
Sorry, but why when I moving to this SSD, it showed 35mb/s, 100gb file but so slow, what the hell
youre using USB A or USB C end?
@@ZenTheGeek USB A, also is old laptop affects too?

depends on your iOS version.
Did you test it on iPhone 15 while taking pro res videos? Thanks
Yes, we will be making an extra video on that actually
But for your question, yes it can work because of the speed efficiency for write, and even after 20 minutes it is still fine though it gets hot

Saw this on an online store just now, is this really SSD?
yes, yes it is !

Perform well? Can't even reach 800mb/s mark and even throttle lower than that. Its a bad product.
