Transcend ESD270C 1 TB portable SSD

The Transcend ESD270C is a 1 TB external solid-state drive with a 2.5-inch form factor. It connects via USB 3.1 Gen 2 and includes both Type-A and Type-C cables. Hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption protects stored data. The compact black enclosure weighs 2.0 kg.

Suits users needing encrypted portable storage

This drive suits users who want hardware encryption and a USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface for broad host compatibility. Buyers who need higher sequential throughput than 460 MB/s should consider alternatives. The 2.5-inch form factor may not fit ultra-compact carry requirements.

USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface

The USB 3.1 Gen 2 connection delivers up to 460 MB/s sequential read and 460.0 MB/s sequential write. This single specification determines whether the drive meets the performance needs of a given workflow. Verify that the host system supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 to achieve these rates.

Questions about this item

What type of USB port does my computer need for the ESD270C to work at its 460 MB/s read speed?

A USB 3.1 Gen 2 port is required to reach the 460 megabytes per second sequential read rate; slower ports will work but reduce throughput.

Will the included Type-A cable let me use the ESD270C with my older laptop that only has rectangular USB sockets?

Yes, the box contains both a Type-C and a Type-A cable so the drive connects directly to legacy USB-A ports without an adapter.

How can I confirm the 256-bit AES encryption is active after I set a password?

The Transcend Elite software shows an encryption status indicator and will report the drive as locked until the correct password is entered.
