Transcend ESD260C Reviews

Kind of slow, but it works without snags

By Larry
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2025-03-07

I would expect a USB 3.2 gen 2 drive to do better connected to a Thunderbolt USB-C Mac, but once that slow initial save is done, further backups are not that prolonged. This replaced a LaCie SSD that lasted about a year, much shorter than previous LaCie drives, so I switched brands.
