Model overview based on user reviews
The Transcend StoreJet 25M3 is a popular external hard drive known for its pleasant rubberized casing that provides a comfortable grip and impact resistance. Users appreciate its fast data transfer speeds, especially with USB 3.0, which is significantly quicker than older interfaces. The drive is available in various capacities, from 500GB to 4TB, catering to different storage needs. Many users highlight its reliability and quiet operation, with some having used it for several years without issues. However, there are mixed reviews regarding its durability, with a few users experiencing failures after a short period. The drive's backup button is a noted feature, though not frequently used by all. Some users find the requirement of two USB ports for power inconvenient, and the initial FAT32 formatting surprising, though easily rectified. Overall, the Transcend StoreJet 25M3 is praised for its design, performance, and value for money, but potential buyers should be aware of occasional reliability concerns.

It saves the day when installing and storing large and heavy volumes of graphic materials. The data transfer speed is decent for the USB >3 generation. The casing hasn't been tested for impact resistance, but the tactile feel is pleasant and it is made with quality. + Stable performance of the intended functions + declared impact resistance and pleasant to touch - not detected  luriosity.tech: use Transcend TS2TSJ25M3G few months |
Even though it says here that it is impact-resistant, it's better not to intentionally test its durability. After all, anything can happen. Losing 500 gigs of photos and personal data in an instant is not like just breaking a phone. This is more serious. Pleasant to the touch soft-touch plastic, or is it rubber like that. The copying speed is much higher than that of simple USB drives, at least 2 times faster. I rarely use the backup button, somehow it's more customary to do it all manually. It is inconvenient that one screw takes up 2 USB ports on the computer (the second is used for power). expert: use Transcend StoreJet 25M3 month or more |
When checking, I noticed an interesting feature: the light indicator changes color from blue to orange when switching to USB 2.0. I think there’s no point in buying hard drives with the old interface anymore, it's better to look to the future and choose more modern models. Quick interface. Nice rubberized casing, won't slip out of your hand. Although if it does slip and fall, it won't break. Well, I hope so anyway. I'm not planning to throw it on a concrete floor or tiles on purpose. There's a backup button. I'm not sure if I need it, but it's good to have. As for data transfer speed: it's not 10 times faster than USB 2.0, but somewhere around 3-4 times faster. And that's good enough. I was surprised that the hard drive was initially formatted in FAT32. Strange for such a new device. Nowadays, NTFS is used everywhere. But it's not a problem, everything can be fixed in a couple of minutes. Rider: just bought Transcend StoreJet 25M3 |

living legend
The Transcend StoreJet 25M3 is a true veteran of the external hard drive market. It was the Taiwanese company Transcend that once set the fashion for shock-resistant HDDs with the StoreJet 25M model with USB 2.0. And already it was replaced by an updated version of 25M3 with a high-speed USB 3.0 interface. The well-proven reinforced hull design has remained unchanged.
Not afraid of falling
There are three StoreJet 25M3 volumes to choose from: 500 GB, 1 and 2 TB. Inside the rubberized casing is a laptop hard drive with a speed of 5400 rpm and 8 MB of cache. Of course, it’s not worth dropping the HDD on purpose, especially when it’s turned on (it can jam the spindle), but the switched-off drive should survive accidental falls from the height of the table without problems. No wonder the manufacturer gives it a 3-year warranty, which is more than for internal HDDs.
Miser pays twice
It's doubly nice that Transcend doesn't charge too much for shock resistance — the StoreJet 25M3 costs only a little more than conventional external HDDs. There are not many alternatives to the StoreJet 25M3: in addition to Transcend, only ADATA and Silicon Power produce protected hard drives. Moreover, the latter implements not only shock resistance, but also IP68 water protection (withstands immersion in water to a shallow depth and for a short time).
