The USB Type-C Storage Solution from Transcend.

  With the growing adoption of the USB Type-C standard by new platforms and devices, Transcend Information, Inc. has constantly developed a wide range of USB Type-C products including external SSDs/hard drives, card readers, and flash drives. Transcend’s USB Type-C products bring's faster interface speeds with USB-C connectivity and expanded external storage for next-generation mobile devices and computers, perfect for consumers and creative professionals across the world.

Why USB Type-C?

  While USB Type-A and Type-B connectors prevail, the new USB Type-C connector has been released to gradually replace the others. In addition to the capabilities of power charging at up to 100 watts and video output (HDMI/ VGA/ DisplayPort), USB Type-C possesses two other features that differentiate it from USB Type-A and Type-B connectors. First, USB Type-A and Type-B are non-reversible, meaning time wasted ensuring a correct plug-in. Second, they cannot be used across multiple platforms. But that's all changing.

  USB Type-C is a hardware change, rather than an interface standard change (like USB 2.0 to USB 3.0). Type-C devices are easy to insert, being reversible. This symmetrical oval plug will replace Type A and B, respectively the rectangular plug found on such things as thumb drives, and that found to connect to power-drawing devices, like cell phones. With connectors simplified to a single type, USB Type-C allows for use across multiple platforms, meaning that you only need one cable for both PC and handheld devices.

The SSDs are compatible with desktops, laptops, on-the-go mobile devices*, as well as gaming consoles. Featuring impressive storage capacity, each model sports a different kind of elegance, meaning users can choose the one that fits their own fashion sense.
