Transcend ESD310 1 TB portable SSD

The Transcend ESD310 is a 1 TB external solid-state drive with a 2.5-inch form factor and silver finish. It connects through both USB Type-A and USB Type-C ports using a USB 3.0 interface. The drive weighs 40 grams and measures 2.8 in by 0.8 in by 0.3 in. Sequential read speeds reach 1050 megabytes per second and sequential write speeds reach 950 megabits per second.

Suits users needing dual-connector convenience

This drive suits anyone who moves large files between devices that only offer Type-A ports and devices that only offer Type-C ports. The single cable design removes the need for separate adapters or dongles. Buyers who require hardware encryption, ruggedised IP-rated casings or higher bandwidth than USB 3.0 provides should consider specialised alternatives.

USB 3.0 interface with 1050 MB/s peak read

The USB 3.0 interface determines the maximum transfer ceiling of 1050 MB/s read and 950 Mb/s write. Systems limited to USB 2.0 will operate far below these rates. Verify that your host ports support USB 3.0 or faster to obtain the advertised performance.

Questions about this item

At what write speed does the ESD310 throttle during a sustained 1 TB transfer?

The drive specifies a maximum sequential write of 950 megabits per second; sustained throughput will not exceed this figure.

Does the ESD310 become hot or noisy when run continuously for hours?

The solid-state design has no moving parts, so it operates silently and produces only modest heat under load.

Which host port is required to reach the 1050 MB/s read rating on the ESD310?

A USB 3.0 Type-A or Type-C port is needed; slower ports will reduce the transfer rate.
