Transcend 2.5" SSD/HDD USB3.1 Gen1 Enclosure, Aluminum case, UASP Supported, One Touch Backup - TS0GSJ25S3

I discovered this Transcend StoreJet USB 3.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure by watching a video I found on Y-O-U-T-U-B-E which led me to Amazon to purchase it as I had purchased an SSD from Amazon to put in it to use on an iMac I have recently purchased here on Amazon. I followed the instructions to install High Sierra OS to the Crucial 500GB SSD I placed into the enclosure and placed it behind the center metal stand holding up the monitor/computer to boot from it and keep the original 7200 RPM HD inside the iMac to store files onto. It was a great idea so that's what I did and now boot time for the iMac OS is very quick and not a problem with the new Corsair 500MX SSD or the Transcend enclosure. It's a win/win way to go if you don't want to open your iMac to remove an internal hard drive and install your OS onto an external SSD. Again I want to thank Amazon and the vendor for making this available. It works like a charm!! Transcend StoreJet USB 3.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure (TS0GSJ25S3)

== Introduction == I have been using Transcend StoreJet 25S3 2.5″ SSD/HDD Enclosure with Seagate 500GB 5400RPM HDD on Asus RT-AC68U for 2 years. Didn’t care to review it as 5400RPM HDD does not have the chance to push its limit until now. Yup, 480GB Kingston SSDNow UV400 SSD should be able to test its SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface with UASP support. Is StoreJet 25S3 perfect as SSD enclosure? Let’s find out… == Package Content & Design == Surprise! Yes, I keep most of the boxes of my products including Transcend StoreJet 25S3. It is still look as new even after 2 years. Basically, you will get StoreJet 25S3 enclosure, USB 3.0 cable, warranty card, quick start guide and lot of other Transcend product brochures there. As for build quality, it is well made thanks to aluminum housing with solid plastic (2 black parts). And it supports 2.5 inch HDD or SSD up to 9.5 mm in height. There is a blue LED light indicator on top right just beside the USB 3.0 wording. By the way, you will need to use screwdriver to remove the screws first in order to put SSD in. Not totally tool-free here. But not a deal breaker also unless you always need to chance hard drive. For me, I opened no more than 10 times in 2 years here. One Touch Auto-Backup button is located just besides USB 3.0 port. You can use Transcend Elite software to enable express synchronization of files and folders to PC by just one touch. Will cover Transcend Elite software in the future. == Performance Result == I know that Transcend StoreJet 25S3 has no problem to provide maximum transfer rate on 5400RPM HDD. Yup, it sure does here. How about SSD performance? Is UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) able to do so now? Let’s below benchmark results tell you… Again, UASP sure does its job well here. It manages to push 480GB Kingston SSDNow UV400 SSD to 418 MB/s read and 415 MB/s write in CrystalDiskMark sequential Q32T1 test. Much better result in ATTO Disk Benchmark with 456 MB/s read and 442 MB/s write. AS SSD Benchmark result is almost the same as CrystalDiskMark. But I am getting much lower reading speed in Anvil’s Storage Utilities. No idea why… By the way, feel free to check out 480GB Kingston UV400 SSD Review to find out its full potential when connect directly through SATA connection. == Advantages == + Fast performance with UASP support + Excellent build quality + Stylish design + Ultra-portable + Workable without the casing == Limitations == - No tool-free design == Conclusion == Transcend StoreJet 25S3 is a solid SSD/HDD enclosure no doubt. Loaded with UASP support to ensure the fastest performance from your SSD. And maximum performance from normal HDD.

This has a ASMT 2105 chipset in it and it doesn't like play by all the rules in Linux Mint 17.x. There seems to be no problems with reading and writing data, but when trying to "safely remove it" it keeps popping back up. I have had no corruption problems so I guess it is working well enough. I have not tried any troubleshooting because it doesn't seem to be a big deal at this time. It does slow down transfer speed a little, but that is expected for an external device. Despite the minor problem it seems to be a good device.

I love this enclosure model. In fact, I've bought 5 of these already and never had problems connecting to any computer. It even works on my TV. I used them to house a few laptop hard drives which I took out from my some laptops after replacing them with SSDs. The product is sleek unlike other enclosures that may be shorter but thicker. The body is aluminum so you don't have to worry crushing it when placed inside a bag or even your pocket. Just don't drop it though unless it's an SSD inside it.

This item specifically says that you can connect via wifi. THIS IS NOT THE CASE! DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR; Connectivity Technology Wi-Fi. IT IS USB ONLY.

I am a big fan of Transcend products and this hard drive enclosure is not an exception either. It uses quality ASMedia (chipset company of ASUS) chipset that provides pretty reliable read/write rate and fast USB 3.0 speed. The circuit board is also done in great quality not like most cheap enclosures that have glues and residues. The use of metal offers a lot of strength and it also helps with heat dissipation.

It does exactly what it says it does. Quick and easy.

NOT A SSD. Despite all the "answers" up there do not be fooled this is definitely a HDD! They do a great job of making it seem like it's a SSD in the ad copy just short of actually saying it. It's a decent drive, and is relatively quick and quiet, but I bought this thinking it was too good to be true and it was! This is not a name brand it should not be priced like one. It is a good product but I was fooled. I hope amazon takes those answers down.

ssdにて利用しました。 組み立ても楽でしたし、pcとの接続も問題ありませんでした。 スペース的にギリギリということもなく良かったです。 ただし、ドライバーは付属していないので外付け用のケースを初めて購入される場合はそこには注意です。

It does it work very well
