Transcend Introduces New Line of Portable Storage for Mac

Transcend has announced the launch of their StoreJet for Mac series of external drives. These new drives are designed with Macs in mind and come preformatted HFS+ and fully support Time Machine for simple plug and play. The SJM100 and SJM300 are Portable Hard Drives while the SJM500 is a Portable Solid State Drive. A complete line-up with both large capacities and rapid transfer speeds.

The SJM100 is a USB 3.0 Hard Drive with military-grade data protection. The drive meets the rigorous U.S. military drop-test standards and has a slip-resistant silicone casing that is reinforced by an internal hard drive suspension damper. This design should absorb a maximum of shock damage. This drive will be available with 2TB storage, enough for 512 hours of Full HD video. Another added feature is the One-touch auto-backup button that works together with the Transcend Elite software. Once configured, all you need to do is press a button to backup and synchronize your files.

The SJM300 is an altered version of the SJM100 that features a Thunderbolt port and cable instead of the extra shock resistance. The SJM500 is a portable USB 3.0 SSD with UASP support as well as a Thunderbolt port. The specifications list a performance up to 440MB/s while reading and the SSD will be available in 256GB, 512GB and 1TB capacities.

All three drives come with a three-year warranty and of course also support other operating systems, it just requires a re-format.
