Sometimes you want to bring with you most of your vital work files or just the videos and photos that accumulate over time. The Transcend StoreJet 25C3N Extra Slim USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive offers a slim 1cm thin package with a large 1TB capacity – it’s definitely worth considering.
Here’s our unboxing and first look.
- Packaging is Spartan – phamplets (quick start guide, warranty, etc.), USB 3.0 cable, and the StoreJet 25C3N itself.
- The StoreJet 25C3N is compact, its metalic build feels sturdy in your hand, and the size of the drive will fit your shirt’s breast pocket – it’s that small.
- The drive is plug and play and requires no additional drivers to work.
- Plugged into a PC, you’ll discover that it has folders containing installers of Trascend Elite and RecoveRx, for back up and deleted file recovery, respectively.
- While the StoreJet 25C3N works on current USB ports on most laptops, it’s USB 3.0, which is faster than USB 2.0 write speeds.
Who is the Transcend StoreJet 25C3N for?
People who work with portable PCs (small netbooks, compact laptops like the MacBook, 2-in-1 Windows tablets) designed to be light but compromise on storage will value the convenience the StoreJet 25C3N offers – fast, light, and big enough storage you won’t hate to bring anywhere (it’s so slim). Or anyone who wants to free up the internal storage of their laptops and need to carry around his or her files.
