While a relatively new name in the storage industry, Transcend Information has a history that goes back more than 20 years. Founded in 1988 by Peter Shu, this Taiwanese company got its start by offering the "JetMate" laser printer driver and the "KeyPro" software protection system. As time went on, Transcend expanded into the memory market, launching its own line of desktop and notebook memory products. Today, Transcend's product lineup includes more than 2,000 memory modules as well as USB flash drives, memory cards and solid-state drives (SSD).
Along with their flash based storage solutions, Transcend offers a growing number of external hard drives. This spring, the company introduced its first USB 3.0 compatible drive, the StoreJet 25D3. Available in 500GB and 640GB capacities, this portable hard drive is capable of reading and writing at speeds as high as 90 MB/s. The StoreJet 25D3 also features an internal hard drive suspension system which helps to prevent data loss caused by accidental slips or falls during travel. Last but not least, the drive comes with Transcend's StoreJet elite software and is covered by a 3-year warranty.
