Transcend StoreJet 25H3 specs

Transcend StoreJet 25H3

Transcend makes an attractive presentation very careful. On the front we have a plastic window that allows us to see the hard drive. On its back you will find all the technical characteristics. Inside we find:

Transcend StoreJet 25H3 Hard Drive.USB Cable.Manual and Quick Guide.

Its dimensions are quite contained with 131.8 x 80.8 x 24.5 mm and a weight of 284 grams. The hard disk protection consists of a plastic case, a plastic outer structure and an internal protection with rubbers that better cushion shocks.

On the front we have a button that allows us to make copies directly to our PC.

To open the Transcend StoreJet 25H3 we have to remove the three screws from the external structure. Pressing with the nail or using a flat screwdriver we will remove the clips that hold it.

Inside we find a WD Green hard drive model WD20NPVX of 2TB with size of 2.5 ″, 7200 RPM and 8 MB of cache. When run it is a fairly quiet hard drive.

In this image you can see that Western Digital uses a SATA III adapter towards the external USB output.

Test and performance equipment

Final words and conclusion

The Transcend Storejet 25H3 has proven to be one of the best shock resistant hard drives on the market. He has survived three intense tests: falling from the distance of a table, from a shelf and being passed a bike. He was not so lucky when we passed a 1400 kg car over him.

In our performance tests we have seen excellent read and write rates of 116.2 MB / s. The disk inside it is the best we can find in the market and we do the transfer from the USB 3.0 connection.

In short, if you are looking for a shock resistant external hard drive with a good read / write rate and a reasonable price, the Transcend Storejet 25H3 is the best option. You can buy it at amazon.es.
