help Transcend StoreJet 25S3 FAQ
Is the Transcend StoreJet 25S3 a solid-state drive (SSD) or a hard disk drive (HDD)?
Despite its rugged enclosure and fast data transfer marketing, the StoreJet 25S3 is a portable hard disk drive (HDD) with spinning platters. This means it is more susceptible to mechanical failure from drops than a true solid-state drive.
What kind of drop protection does the Transcend StoreJet 25S3 offer?
The drive features Transcend's ArmorGuard technology, which utilizes a ruggedized silicone outer shell and an internal shock-absorbing suspension system. This construction provides military-grade drop resistance that helps protect the internal hard drive from accidental impacts.
How fast is the USB 3.0 connection on the Transcend StoreJet 25S3?
The drive utilizes a USB 3.0 interface that supports transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps. However, because the internal drive is a 250GB HDD, actual real-world file transfer speeds will be bottlenecked by the spinning disk mechanics, usually maxing out around 100 to 120 MB/s.
Does the Transcend StoreJet 25S3 require an external power source?
No, the StoreJet 25S3 is completely bus-powered through its USB connection. You only need to plug the included USB cable into your computer or laptop to provide both data transfer and power.
