Hi Guys we have a Rugged/Shockproof design 2.5 inch USB3 drive for better protection
product link http://www.transcend-info.com/products/Catlist.asp?modno=284
The StoreJet 25M3 combines the shock-resistant qualities of Transcend’s award-winning rugged StoreJet M series with the SuperSpeed 5Gb/s interface bandwidth of USB 3.0, allowing users to enjoy ultra-fast file transfers and the highest level of anti-shock protection.
not as durable = not same product … fiance just destroyed my 500gb portable, so i think i get to buy a new one :)
Fair enough.
For those who don't have a habit of breaking their drives there's no advantage to the Transcend. You could consider it's extra size and weight a disadvantage.
But if you're after something shock resistant, good price.
Supports mil std 810?
I don't know about that specific standard, but the product sheet says "Meets U.S. military drop-test standards".

I think wolfenator87 is asking the rep if they could do a better deal outside of eBay, since eBay fees add a significant amount to the price…
that's for small time seller. Ebay final value fee for big seller is a lot less.

Ebay wants to encourage big sellers to sell products on their platform instead of Amazon.

Bought a transcend thumb drive 8 years ago. Still working now.
I think the only thing is that it uses 2 USB ports if you're plugging it into a USB2 computer. I could be wrong or mistaking it for another product though…
Naturally! To get USB 3.0 speeds you need to have a USB 3.0 port on your computer otherwise you'll get USB 2.0 speeds (or even USB 1.1 if you have a relic computer).
He's saying it takes two ports to supply the power.
If you're after a 1TB USB3.0 the Hitachi Touro is at MSY, Umart and a few others for $79.
If you need it shipped, then this is a decent price.
