help Transcend ESD380C FAQ
What connection is required to reach the ESD380C's advertised 2,000 MB/s speed?
The host computer needs a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port capable of 20 Gbps operation. On an ordinary 10 Gbps USB-C port, the Transcend drive still works, but it cannot reach the advertised maximum transfer rate.
Does the Transcend ESD380C work with both USB-C and USB-A computers?
Yes, Transcend supplies USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A cables with the drive. The connector does not determine the full speed by itself, so an older USB-A port may impose a much lower bandwidth limit.
Is the ESD380C rugged enough for travel?
The SSD has a military-green silicone rubber enclosure designed to resist shocks during everyday transport. It is ruggedized, but Transcend does not market it as a waterproof drive, so it still needs protection from rain and immersion.
Can the ESD380C be password-protected?
Transcend Elite software supports password protection for the drive and its stored files. The software is available for desktop systems, while actual compatibility can vary by operating system and device.
