Review: Excellent external drives! - I've used these external drives for photo storage and system backup forever and have had zero probs or failures. My original 750GB version is over 10 years old, has been around the world many times including to the Arctic and still works fine. My current 2GB version seems to be a little faster and of the same or better quality. Highly recommended! I have a number of Transcend products and they're all excellent.
Review: This External Drive has Been a Game-changer for This Gamer - If you are anything like me when it comes to gaming, you will want this external drive to store games that cannot fit on your system's internal drive. If you are involved in any other tasks that require data storage, this drive is also suitable for you. Games are being increasingly produced on a grand scale. It is standard for a game to be 100GB in size lately. Even if you have a large internal drive of 2TB, that means you would only be able to store twenty games or fewer on it. Avid gamers like myself know that having sufficient game space on a system is a necessity. This external drive can easily handle 40+ games of considerable. Of course, game storage is not the only ability of this external drive. With 4TB of storage space, it can hold thousands of photos, songs, videos, and files. I have downloaded 12 large game files (about 760 GB of data) onto the drive, and I still have 83% of disk space free. It is rugged and sturdy. I have dropped it too many times, and it continues to function perfectly. I always check a product's weight-to-size ratio. It is not always true, but I have found that if a small item has significant weight to it, it is built to last. The casing is of a rough, rubber-like material. The material is to keep it from being too slippery to handle. I dropped mine just because I am clumsy. The drive is a plug-and-play one. I did not have to format it or take steps to get it operating. I simply plugged it into a USB port on my computer and started saving to it. The upload and download speeds are exceptional (600MB per second). The disk reads data at 5GB per second with a rotational speed of 5200 rpm. I purposely downloaded, deleted, and rewrote data on the same sector of the disk to see if there was a degradation of the data. There was none after many attempts. I wrote those things to convey that the drive performs exceptionally. My final analysis is that I highly recommend the drive. It performs better than I thought it would and has provided a convenient place to store downloads of various media, without worrying about being able to retrieve the data readily. It is well made, and I will have this drive and its full functionality for many years to come.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the software with this device compatible with Mac's Time Machine?**
A: You will need to reformat the drive to HTFS+ which is easily done with disc utility. Time Machine can not back up to FAT32. Macs come with all the software needed already installed and it's easy. There's no need to use 3rd party software.

**Q: Does it show up like a drive with a letter when you plug it in? Like the old external drives used to.**
A: Your operating system will auto assign a drive letter to any storage device detected. So, in Windows - Yes, ALL Windows versions will auto assign a drive letter.  Once connected you have the option to assign a drive letter to it for all future connections (like P: for portable) rather than take the default.

**Q: Will this drive work with the Xbox one?  My main concern is that this drive is unformatted, and most compatible are shown as NTFS.  I would think that since the Xbox automatically re-formats the drive during initial installation unformatted, NTFS and FAT32 would all work, is this correct as well?**
A: Yes. I've been using the 1TB version on my Xbox One for at least six months now with no issues. I had the Xbox format it, just in case, before use. The downside of USB-powered drives is that its max RPM is 5400, so the install and load times are slower than the on-board drive. If you want faster install and load times of your files/games, you'd have to get a 7200RPM driver, however those need external power (In other words, they have a wall wart which could be unsightly or you might not have an outlet available nearby.)

**Q: how does data encryption work?**
A: Encryption is basically encoding information in a way that only the person or computer with the key can decode it. Algorithm's provides the directions and gives a certain range of possible combinations to create the encoded message. A key is a sequence of digital bits that works with an algorithm to encrypt and decrypt the message. basically if you have something on the external hard drive that you don't want others to see if it was stolen or for any other reason encryption keeps them out. you need the key to be able to look at the items / files on the drive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have owned several of these over the years...love them!
*by P***K on November 8, 2025*

I have owned several of these Transcend drives over the years...love them! For external HDD's their speed is respectable. I also find it very rugged and reliable, and the small size is a plus. I will definitely buy again. I also bought another one (in a different color) for redundancy.
