Transcend has introduced a new portable drive Transcend ESD200, providing high-speed performance.

This new Transcend ESD200 product is made in a small package, which contains the solid state drive instead of a hard drive, as in most similar solutions. Capacity of SSD can be 128 or 256 GB. The device is equipped with an interface to connect SuperSpeed USB 3.0. As a result, to the manufacturer, the portable drive Transcend ESD200 provides read speeds of up to 260 MB / s and write speed of data – up to 225 MB / s. However, this result is achieved only when plugged in USB 3.0. When using a USB 2.0 port data rate will be much lower.

The new portable drive Transcend ESD200 is already commercially available for a suggested price of about $ 240 for 128 GB version and about $ 430 for a 256 GB version, all models are provided with a three year warranty.
