    Purchased one of these before Christmas when they first came out, great device, very forgiving should it be dropped and easy to use.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,612 ✭✭✭uncleoswald


    Anyone else got experience with this make? I've been looking for a drive about this size for ages but I don't really know what I'm looking at. Would anyone else recommend Transcend and think this is a good deal?

    Thanks.

    Anybody know what make/model of drive is inside?

    Unfortunately Transcend do not release this level of information on their drives. All I can say is, these are very very reliable!

    I ordered one of these drives on Friday afternoon and dropped over and collected it from their office in Celbridge before they closed. No charge for collections. Also picked up a 4GB Sandisk Micro SDHC card for 9.11 Euro. As a previous customer of MemoryC all I can say is keep up the good work guys!!!.

    Cheers,

    Hey, can you PM me and I will ensure that you get an immediate reply. We tend to respond to mails the same day, but I guess you mailed us over the weekend - Mondays are always a bit hectic and we do not always get to all emails until the Tuesday... but let me know what your enquiry is, I will make sure you get a reply.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 191 ✭✭jk2001


    Ya, these have kinda flown off the shelves :)

    By the way, if anyone ever has any suggestions regarding products you would like to see on promo in future please feel free to let me know, we will try and work on some deals with the manufacturer then.

    That's mine bought. Because I really need a 4th external hard drive right? :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,241 ✭✭✭Vic Vinegar


    So is this just USB powered then?

    Never mind, it says in the info.... looks like a sweet deal


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 191 ✭✭jk2001


    Yes, it is powered by the USB port. It comes with a dual USB cable so you can plug it into two USB ports in case your PC/Mac does not supply enough power for it to operate.

    Cheers op. Just ordered one.

    Hopefully it's tougher then my last drive. Fell down a flight of stairs. Lost 250GB. No backup :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,818 ✭✭✭Gauge

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 52 ✭✭RS6

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 293 ✭✭KNS


    Received mine this moring after ordering yesterday afternoon.

    Unbelievable service!

    ordered

    If anyone misses out you could DIY similar with an external Drive and case for about the same money, but I like the idea of a drive that's supposed to be shock protected for a four foot drop.

    ordered mine.

    i already have an external drive that i put together with 2.5" laptop disc and case. but i think it's not very healthy and safe. don't spend time and take risk, just go for assembled and shock proof ones, like transcend.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,573 ✭✭✭✭ednwireland


    just ordered 3 for the office thanks offer ends at midnight tonight if anyones dithering about ordering


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 643 ✭✭✭Swizz
