Design and Build Quality

Engineered for maximum protection, the StoreJet 25H3 features a three-stage anti-shock system:

1. Durable silicone rubber shell for external impact absorption.

2. Internal suspension system to cushion the drive mechanism.

3. Reinforced hard casing for additional durability.

This design meets U.S. military drop-test standards (MIL-STD-810G), ensuring it withstands accidental drops and bumps. The purple silicone shell adds a unique aesthetic while improving grip and resistance to scratches.

Performance and Speed

Equipped with a USB 3.0 interface, the StoreJet 25H3 delivers SuperSpeed transfer rates up to 5Gbps, enabling quick backups of large files such as HD videos, design projects, and system images.
It’s also backward compatible with USB 2.0, maintaining functionality with older computers. The drive is bus-powered, meaning it draws power directly from the USB port—no need for an external power source.

Security and Backup

The 256-bit AES hardware encryption provides robust protection for sensitive data. Combined with Transcend’s Elite backup and security software, users can set automatic backups, encrypt confidential files, and sync data with cloud storage for an extra layer of security.

The one-touch auto-backup button simplifies the backup process, instantly saving important data with a single press and allowing quick reconnection without unplugging the cable.

Power Efficiency and Functionality

This model includes a power-saving sleep mode that activates automatically when idle, conserving energy and extending drive lifespan. The LED indicator conveniently displays power and data transfer activity, ensuring users always know when the drive is operational.

Compatibility and Ease of Use

The StoreJet 25H3 is plug-and-play ready for Windows 7/8/10, macOS X 10.7 or later, and Linux Kernel 2.6.31 or later—no drivers required. Its seamless integration with multiple operating systems makes it versatile for use across personal, academic, and professional environments in Kenya.
