If you’ve read or watched my review and tutorial about the Transcend SSD230S you might have noticed that I mentioned the Transcend StoreJet 25C3N External Hard Drive and today, we’re going to take a look at it further and see what’s under the hood.
Also, if you’ve been a long time follower of this website and my youtube channel you already know by now that I also own two Transcend military-grade shockproof hard drives that I also reviewed here. So it’s only fitting that we check out another form factor, an extra slim one with the Transcend StoreJet 25C3N.

It also has a nice chamfered edges and embossed Transcend logo to complete the overall modern slim aesthetics.
At the back, we have some product specific information such as model and serial number.
In front, we have the USB 3.0 Micro B port which you can use to connect your device using the included USB 3.0 Micro B to USB 3.0 Type A Cable. You will also see beside it the LED indicator.
