Transcend StoreJet 25 Portable External 500GB 2.5-Inch Hard Drive Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)With my older office unit finally biting the dust, I wound up replacing it with this model. This is my second purchase of this product. I picked up my other Transcend StoreJet 25 unit back in the spring of last year. What sold me on buying another one is the overall performance. Durability is a big factor too.

Out of the box this storage system packed with a 500GB external hard drive was up and running in no time. Its fitted with a one button setup on top of the unit. Simple to use, the drive can be set to remember the files/folders to store in the preferences folder. With the installed software package, scheduling backups and setting security levels is not that much of a task. File compression is always a good choice to remember. All in all, the jury is still out when it comes to the on board StoreJet software. Personally, I'm not a big fan of it. Firewire support for this model would have been ideal.

The StoreJet 25 is built around a standard 2.5 inch SATA hard disk that spins at 5,400 rotations per minute with 8MB of cache. Powered via USB port, the drive draws its juice directly from the host system. Speed read is rated up to 28 megs per second and write speeds cruised in at 24 megs. This system comes encased in a red/black or orange/blackmilitary grade, impact resistant shell. I use the black one for travel and this one for the office.

Built for portability, the unit measures 4.5" H x 3.2" W x 0.6" D. It weighs in at almost 8 ounces and comes with the standard Transcend 2 year product warranty. The manufacturer's website is surprisingly helpful and loaded with useful information. A toll free customer support phone number as well as supporting links are posted.

Like my previous purchase of this product, its all about overall performance. The StoreJet 25 is a durable and cost effective tool that has proven to me that it can go the distance.
