If you are looking for a simple and not too expensive external drive that will be fast and will not take up much space in your backpack or bag, take a look at the Transcend 25C series drives. They boast high linear read / write speeds, do not get very hot during prolonged use, and have extremely low noise and vibration levels.


However, their forte is design. The minimalistic brushed anodized aluminium chassis is inspired by Apple design, so it will look equally appropriate in the hands of a student, photographer, executive or entrepreneur. As Transcend says, it's not just another external hard drive - it's a stylish accessory. And on my own behalf, I can add that this is a more affordable alternative to premium LaCie drives, which were created with an eye on Apple mobile technology. Fortunately, all Transcend 25C drives work correctly with MacOS.

Over the entire existence of the 25C line, the manufacturing company has released several models similar to each other with a volume of 1 or 2 TB. As a rule, a hard drive of its own production with a rotation speed of 5400 rpm is hidden inside. In addition to the drive itself, the kit usually comes with several USB-C and USB A cables, so you can connect it to both an old PC and a brand new ultrabook with a USB-C 3.2 gen1 port. A traditional bonus is the Transcend Elite application package, with which the owner of the drive can create and restore backups, encrypt data, make a cloud backup, or completely block access to data on the drive.
