Transcend 32GB JetFlash 790 USB 3.1 Flash Drive (TS32GJF790K),Black

I am a fan of Transcend brand USB Flash Drives. As a matter of fact, every flash drive that I own is Transcend. I have never had one fail on me yet and I use all of them all the time. I put music on them for the car and movies to watch. I format and reload. Never have an issue. I like that they are retractable so I can put them in my bag with my laptop and dont have to worry about them getting broken. Great brand; I am very satisfied and will be purchasing more.

Great drive with speed of about 10 MB/s on a 2.0 port. This drive does not run hot. Great price too.. Right now the 32GB black costs about $13 and the white is about $10. Also bought a white one, and its 2.0 write speed is also very good. Large files transfer at about 10MB/s. Batches of smaller files naturally get written at about 8MB/s. Light behind the blue slide is very visible, and is always on. With the white case, blue glow fills the bottom of the drive. I bought another black drive. It is different: doesnt say USB 3.1 on the case and there is no light. Performance is the same I guess. I have many drives, so I like to buy different designs from many highly rated manufacturers so all my drives look different. Drives from this brand have never failed me. -Chris

When I initially got this drive to test it I was skeptical about its quality. Not only is build quality great, but so is the drive. Its about average for USB 3 drives speed wise and it has a good Silicon Motion controller in it. Not the PHISON crap some other cheap manufactures use. Would recommend, especially for the price.

I highly recommend this as Transend JetFlash USB thumb drive (which I bought in the 128GB size) PROS: Works flawlessly (no problems being recognized by devices, saves well, etc.) No discernible speed issues; seems fast to appear as a hard drive, and to save files Large storage size relative to cost Does not have a cap (...that will invariably be lost; I do not buy thumb drives with caps anymore) The slide out function works well (...thereby protecting the device when stored) Has a space for a lanyard to be attached (...I always run a lanyard or ribbon through these so they are easier to find and harder to lose) CONS: It is bit bulkier than some thumb drives (but only slightly; it is still a reasonable size) No other cons that I know of; it does what it is supposed to do, at a good value, and does so with out a cap. I am very happy with it.

I have 5 of these flash drives in different capacities and Ive been using them for a couple of years. They are very reliable and I havent had problems despite I usually do not eject flash drives properly. Im comfortable to keep all of my data from university in this flash drive(its always a good idea to keep backup though) and carry it around as I am confident it will not lose my data.

Price was right, and too the security provided by the slide-out feature. So why not 5-stars? Well there is one, only one annoying feature. When Im inserting this drive into a usb port, whether at home or in one of the newer pay-as-you-print Copy machines, I have to remember to slide-&-hold the blue slider or else the usb port will resist the connection pushing the blue slider back into the drive, and so, the Flash Drive doesnt connect. So I have to repeat, which can be a nuisance if the usb port is in the back of a computer as on my iMac. Not a big deal, and I am remembering to hold it so I can make the connection but still, next time around Ill be looking for a Drive where the slider doesnt have to be held out. Of course that then brings up the question: are flash drives made like that? I cant answer that as my other drive is a Lexar with a swivel cover for the connector. OK, so final words: it works well, seems to have enuf storage for my occasional needs, always carry it around in one of my bags, and too, amazon Prime continues to delight:-) Recommended.

I bought four of these Transcend 32 GB JetFlash 790 UB 3.1 flash drives to create bootable Windows 10 drives to install or upgrade computers to Windows 10. I had been using some old USB 2.0 flash drives. I use a program called Rufus to transfer the Windows 10 ISO to the flash drives. The first transfer I did seemed to go really fast so I decided to time them. I timed the transfer to the 2.0 drives and then to these 3.1 drives. The 2.0 drive took about 7 minutes and 30 seconds to transfer. The 3.1 drive that I timed with a stopwatch took about 3 minutes and 25 seconds which seemed slower than the first 3.1 drive I used. Theoretically, USB 3.1 should be about 20 times faster than 2.0 (3.0 is about ten times faster), so the transfer to the 3.1 drive seemed a lot slower than it should have been. Ill be setting up more drives when Win 10 build 2004 comes out, so Ill time the transfers again and see if it differs much. Overall, though, Im happy with these drives.

Im giving this the 5 stars it hugely deserves for price and capacity. Im expecting longevity as well, since so far everything Ive purchased from Transcend has been problem-free. If it doesnt last, Ill come back and grumpily remove some stars. Im not using this for incessant daily transfers, but more as an exceedingly handy all-purpose storage bin. And it definitely requires 3.0 after it starts to fill up, or youll be waiting longer than you are used to these days. I didnt love it laboring away on a 2.0 connection. But 3.0 is fine for my purposes. And I appreciate that it works without fuss with everything from an antique netbook to several laptops of various vintages and powers. When I do want to share something among my widely varied collection of this and that, it is a pleasure to have this wonderful capacity. Dont fool around with the all-important aspects of learning smooth connection and disconnection practices with this. Take care, dont yank and pull but go slow. Youll save yourself a lot of trouble by noticing precisely how this device wants to be connected and disconnected. (In the last 20 years, every USB device I ever bought was a little different than every other one--- and they all still work well. Im certain it pays to be faintly obsessive about this part.) I keep all my uncapped USB drives in zipped cases to keep the dust out. Capped, uncapped, somewhat capped: it matters. Some years ago I accidentally sent a Transcend 64 GB flash drive through a washing machine cycle. Because it was securely capped it still works as well as before. So Im just more careful where I take the slide-in varieties like this one. The real question is: how much in the way of educational material, cultural enjoyment, tech-tools and sheer fun would you like to carry around?

Long term durability and robustness remains to be seen, but it worked when I got it. Ive only transferred files over USB 2.0, havent tried the USB 3.0 speeds yet. Ive put around 60GB of photos and 1080p video footage, and if I recall, the transfer rate was around 10-15MB/s (80-100Mbps) - well under the maximum 480Mbps USB 2.0 spec, but it wasnt time critical, more for backup purposes so it wasnt a big deal. Being a solid state device, Im hoping for better long term robustness from this over an external HD. So far, so good even though its only been a couple weeks. On another note, I dont really care for the USB slider form factor, as it has a tendency to push back into the casing while youre trying to connect it to the USB port. Minor criticism and not enough to stop me from pouncing on it as one of the Daily Deals, but something I thought was worth noting.

I bought this Transcend Flash Drive on Amazon in 2015. I gave up on it for years, because I could not use it to store more than 32 GB of photo files. The label on it says 64 GB. I run Windows 10 Pro computers here. When I plug in the Flash Drive, select it in Windows File Explorer and right-click my mouse to see the drive properties, it says 32 GB. At the very least, this is misleading. At the very worst, it is false. The average user of a Flash drive should not have to resort to any formatting or change of file systems on the drive, in order to try and get 64 GB. It should perform as advertised, which I believe is a prime directive in product sales and advertising.
