USB 3.1 Gen 1

The StoreJet 25M3 uses a USB 3.1 Gen 1 interface, also described by Transcend as USB 5Gbps.

Connectivity

• Interface: USB 3.1 Gen 1
• Maximum Interface Bandwidth: Up to 5Gbps
• Drive Connector: Micro-USB
• Host Connector: USB Type-A

The 5Gbps figure represents the theoretical USB interface bandwidth, not the actual sequential read/write speed of the mechanical HDD.

Three-Stage Shock Protection

One of the key features of the StoreJet 25M3 is its advanced three-stage shock protection system.

The protective construction consists of:

1. Shock-absorbing silicone rubber outer shell
2. Reinforced hard casing
3. Internal hard-drive suspension damper

Together, these layers help protect the internal HDD against shocks and accidental drops during transportation.

Military-Grade Drop-Test Standards

Transcend states that the StoreJet 25M3's drop testing is based on U.S. military drop-test standard MIL-STD-810G 516.6, with testing performed while the drive is not operating.

This rugged construction makes it particularly useful for:

• Travelers
• Students
• Professionals
• Photographers
• Content creators
• Field workers
• Users carrying important backups

The military-standard testing does not mean the drive is indestructible.

One-Touch Auto Backup

The StoreJet 25M3 includes a dedicated One-Touch Auto-Backup button.

With compatible Transcend Elite software, users can quickly back up or synchronize important files.

This can simplify backups of:

• Photos
• Videos
• Documents
• Work folders
• Personal files
• Creative projects
• Important data

Transcend notes that its Elite software is required for the One-Touch Auto-Backup functionality.

Transcend Elite Software

The StoreJet 25M3 supports Transcend Elite, a data-management application available for compatible Windows and macOS systems.

Functions can include:

• Data backup
• Restore
• File synchronization
• File management
• Data encryption
• One-Touch Auto Backup

AES Encryption Support

With compatible Transcend Elite software, users can take advantage of AES encryption functionality to help protect important data. Transcend specifies that Elite software is required for the drive's AES encryption functions.

This can be useful for:

• Business documents
• Personal files
• Private photos
• Work projects
• Important backups
• Sensitive documents

RecoveRx Data Recovery Software

The StoreJet 25M3 is supported by Transcend RecoveRx, which is available for Windows and macOS.

RecoveRx can assist in searching supported storage devices for recoverable deleted files such as:

• Photos
• Videos
• Documents
• Music

Successful recovery is not guaranteed and depends on the condition of the storage device and whether the original data has been overwritten.

USB-Powered Operation

The StoreJet 25M3 operates at 5V and is powered through its USB connection.

This means:

• No external AC adapter
• No separate power supply
