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

I purchased the 128gb version of this flash drive and so far i like it a lot. The speeds are quite acceptable. I moved a 70 gb photo file to it in no time. Fast access as well. I have limited amount of space on my laptop so I use this to keep things moving along without bogging down my macbook pro. When you plug it in there is a bright blue light and when you transfer data the blue blinks. USB extends with a flick of your thumb. Also I was able to format in several different styles easily. No problems whatsoever. Wish I had another one.

I bought this thinking it was just another jump drive. Turns out that USB 3 series can interfere with wireless keyboard IF plugged into desktop next to wireless keyboard/mouse widget. Basically the mouse wont work and keyboard is sporadic. Something about wireless interference. I bought a dongle to plug this into and then plugged the dongle into back of desktop away from wireless widget. That seemed to solve the problem.

nice product and came quickly, I like it, even though the insert key is quite hard to put in sometime cuz it kinda unstable abit but overall is okay for this purchase.

So far so good. I have used this drive to transfer some movies. I am a college student and I rely heavily on flash drives to transfer data to and from school. I am not a gadget expert and I do not pay much attention to other drive speeds. For every day tasks, this drive will be awesome. The build quality is the exact same as a similar sandisk cruizer that I have. Its almost identical to that one as far as case design goes. Great product!

Generally this drive would be great, but in this case the quality control is bad. The activity light is non-functional. I have other identical JetFlash 790 drives and the activity light is functional. Its probably rare. One thing to note is these drives are 3-bits per cell MLC flash memory (a.k.a. TLC ). Most in this price-range are TLC; the more bits per cell the less longevity the drive has. Again, if it wasnt for this latest arrival with a non-functioning activity light, Id rate this drive 4.5 stars. The other issue that Id suggest addressing is how easy it is to bend the drive. You must be careful when inserting or it will bend the metal connector inside the casing (possibly a solder joint, or where the usb metal connector is connected to the small circuit board inside). It can probably be bent back a number of times before snapping. Just be careful. The drive is fast, and a great alternative to Sandisk drives. I will buy again in the future. Works very fast in Linux whereas Ive had trouble with another brand (Corsair) getting good USB 3.0 speeds. Virtually no matter what I do with Corsair drives, the drive write speed is horrible in Linux. This Transcend drive has a more compatible controller I think and is achieving the speeds mentioned on the package.

The size of 64 GB is good for collecting brief video records. But because the speed is not good enough, I am going to use this to store video clips and play on various PCs. If you want an USB stick of a large capacity and if youre going to write on it frequently, this one would be not so recommendable. Id like to recommend SANDISK Extreme USB 3.0 or SANDISK Extreme Pro USB 3.0 for frequent writing. They have decent speeds both in reading and writing. Ive been using various USB sticks over more than 15 years and found only SANDISK Extreme USB 3.0 / Extreme Pro USB 3.0 have suitable speed for their great capacity. This one would be recommended for temporary storage for a great volume of data with less frequent writings. SANDISK Extreme / Extreme Pro USB 3.0 are definitely the ones to go with if you can ignore additional cost. With this one, you can expect a great capacity but not a suitable speed to fill that capacity.

I like the easiness of use basically a plug and play. It automatically brings up the app and after that its just a plug and play. The storage capacity is probably much better if u dont load it up with movies but if u do the math right u can get 29 full movies on one them with almost no room 2 spare I like the 2 I have

I wanted a reliable and USB 3.0 speed flash drive at around this price (64G@$25). The reliability remains to be seen, but I have had the Transcend 16GB USB3.0 for over a year and its good and this drive has a lifetime warranty. The problem with it so far is that it is advertised as 28MB/s write speed. I loaded 13.4 GB of data and it started out at 25MB/s for about the first GB but slowed to around 11MB/s for most of the write. It took about 20 mins and the average speed was 11MB/s. This is a USB3.0 speed but not as fast as I hoped. Maybe more expensive flash drives perform better, but I dont know and am not spending more money on expensive ones just to find out. For overall value of price/capacity/performance/reliability, this is a good drive.

My computer shows a 117 GB capacity for this 128 GB storage device. Thats a big chunk to be doing without. The speed of writing was nothing like what was described for a USB 3.0 device. Example: writing a 3.7 GB folder from my hard drive to the Transcend 128 GB JetFlash 790 (using one of my Dell desktops USB 3.0 ports). The speed wavered wildly. At 35% completion the slow transfer simply ground to a halt for 5 minutes showing a completion estimate of 45 minutes. Finally it started up again and finished at just shy of 11 minutes. I then deleted the folder and repeated the test, which took just over 4 minutes. I deleted the folder again and repeated the process on my HP Spectra x360 laptop. It took 5 minutes, 20 seconds with speeds wavering wildly from 0 bytes/s to 42 MB/s. The practical upshot of this is that I never know how long of a wait I am letting myself in for.

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
