Transcend StoreJet 25M3, 500 GB

This external HDD from Transcend may not be the best looking, but it has a rugged casing, making it a good choice for rough usage. The greyish green colored drive comes with a USB 2.0/3.0 interface and sports the smaller form factor of 2.5 inches, which makes it easy to carry around. In terms of features you get One Touch back-up facility that enables you to use the drive as a separate entity when connected to a system. The drive delivers transfer speeds that are acceptable for this price and the overall package makes it a value-for-money product that offers moderate transfer speeds.

Transcend JetFlash 380, 32 GB

The JetFlash 380 is the company's first ever multi-purpose USB drive that caters to both, notebooks as well as mobility devices. The drive comes in a sleek petite form built around metallic body. On one side you USB 2.0 while on the other you have microUSB port which gets hidden underneath a port cover. It fits in to the port on either of devices without much of a fuss, however the heating that the drive emits is on the higher side and we are concerned about the main device's performance. The drive is available in gold and grey color options.
