help Transcend ESD380C 3.84TB FAQ

What kind of speeds can I actually get out of the Transcend ESD380C?

The Transcend ESD380C utilizes a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface, allowing for read and write speeds up to 2,000 MB per second when connected to a compatible port. To achieve these maximum data transfer rates, you must use the included cable and connect it to a motherboard or port that specifically supports 20Gbps Gen 2x2 transmission.

Is the Transcend ESD380C 3.84TB drive compatible with gaming consoles like the PS5?

Yes, you can use the ESD380C as extended storage for a PlayStation 5 to archive and play PS4 games directly from the drive. However, native PS5 games must be installed on the console's internal NVMe SSD to run, so this Transcend drive is best used for cold storage to free up internal space.

How durable is the casing on the Transcend ESD380C portable SSD?

The drive features a sleek aluminum alloy case that aids in heat dissipation during heavy, sustained data transfers. It also meets the US military drop test standards (MIL-STD-810G 516.6), meaning it can survive accidental drops and rough handling typical of professional on-location workflows.

Does the Transcend ESD380C come with the necessary cables to reach max speed?

Yes, Transcend includes both a USB-C to USB-C cable and a USB-C to USB-A cable right out of the box. The USB-C to USB-C cable is required if you want to take advantage of the 20 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 speeds the drive is rated for.
