The text “USB 3.0 Type-C | Portable Hard Drive” (in reference to first image) might give one the wrong impression that the drive is of USB Type-C connection, it isn’t. Notice the “|” symbol in between the text, it’s just to say that both works but one does not necessarily apply to the other. The image right above the text show a USB Type-C connector.
Here’s the connector bundled with the Transcend StoreJet 25MC.

The Verdict
The Transcend StoreJet 25MC Portable Hard Drive (with USB Type-C Connector) is a solid product, the 1TB model as reviewed here can be acquired at RM 299 from Lazada. What you get is huge amount of protection AND fast transfer speed, not as fast as external SSD but it’s fast enough and you get a whole lot more space.
