Transcend ESD260C 500GB portable SSD

The Transcend ESD260C is a 500GB external solid-state drive built for professionals and creatives who need fast, portable storage. It uses a USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface with UASP support to reach transfer speeds up to 520MB/s. The drive weighs only 33g and fits in a sturdy metallic silver case.

Suits users who need lightweight.

This drive suits anyone who moves large files between devices and values a compact, durable design. It is not for buyers who require more storage than 500GB, those who need internal drive installation, or users whose systems lack a USB Type-C or compatible USB-A port.

Connects via USB Type-C for instant capacity

Plug the ESD260C into a USB Type-C port to add 500GB of solid-state storage without drivers or external power. The bus-powered design frees up a power outlet and keeps cable clutter low. Its aluminium chassis resists shocks, protecting data during transport.
