Transcend ESD310C Dual-Interface UFD Review: Silicon Motion Powers Portable SSD in a Thumb Drive

Transcend recently introduced the ESD310C portable SSD in a thumb drive form-factor.

The product is based on Silicon Motion's SM2320 native USB flash drive controller, and is quite similar to the Kingston DataTraveler Max A in terms of internal components. Read on to find out what the SM2320 can deliver in a slightly different form factor, and how Transcend manages to differentiate the ESD310C from the other 10 Gbps thumb drives in the market.
