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

Still working well about seven months later! The slide action is a little bit flakey (mostly in that it doesnt always lock in the out position, making it slightly less convenient to fit into the USB port), and it sounds as though something has come loose inside, but the actual performance of the devices hasnt been affected in any way Ive noticed. Its served its purpose as well as or better than any other flash drive Ive had, and definitely has the lowest price-per-GB of the ones Ive owned.

I purchased this flash drive because I needed something to store my work and projects on for college. I tested the flash drive to make sure I was paying for a counterfeit, since it cost me less than 20 bucks for a lot of memory. The flash drive is authentic, providing over 30GB of storage. The drive has an average write speed of 10.5MB/s and a read speed of 31.9MB/s, which makes it nice and fast. The blue light on the drive lets me know that its connected to my computer, and flashes as I add or remove files to and from the device. Tis is great because it lets me know if it has finished transferring my data. Overall, this flash drive is a great deal given the price and memory. It reads/writes data at a fast pace for me and I wont have to get a new one for quite some time thanks to the space on it.

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

You know why these arent more popular? Because the casing is pretty cheap and they dont say sandisk or samsung on the side. You know why this is the best value drive on the market right now? because its FAST as heck at small file writes!!! put linux on one of these puppies and smile!!! even on usb2 speeds, these drives work great as OS drives... not much delay and waiting for things to happen, even browsing the web is fine. Run them on a USB3 port and you cant even tell youre running off usb. Linux boots and runs faster than old spindle drives. 13MB/sec at 4k!!! Definitely a sleeper in the dark. I cant find any other drive priced this low that even comes close to these speeds at small file sizes. If all you do is transfer videos and whatnot, sure get whatever drive you want. But if you want to run an OS off a USB drive, these models are by far the best value right now.

!!!BEWARE,THIS PRODUCT IS ACTUALLY 29.4GB,NOT 32GB!!! (at least from my personal experience) However,other than that and how annoying and seemingly flimsy way the plastic surrounding the USB is because of its very simple design. The way you open and close the 3.0 USB is by sliding along a slider embedded in the plastic,which feels weak at the time,but hey,I may grow to love it!

This brand is my favorite USB Flash Drive the last 2 years. No Cap, Usb 3.1, Indicator Light, and finally very fast to eject by Windows. Others are much slower. When light goes out you can safely remove. If you want a bootable USB Flash Drive do not buy larger than 32gb or none will work.

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.

Im a retired (O.K., semi-retired) I.T. geek and still support a few friends and family who need help with their computers. That being said sometimes its handy to have malware protection or other utilities handy w/o having to log on to download them. Thus the need for a new thumb drive. The 64gb capacity leaves plenty of room for various utilities with room left over for transferring files (if one has occasion to do that). I encrypted the Transcend 64gb using TrueCrypt (yes, I know TC is no longer supported; Im using the last good version (7.1A) and its sufficient for my purposes). The drive has no problem with TrueCrypt and mounts quickly and easily once the password is entered. The retractable feature keeps the USB business end out of harms way, and there is an opening in the other end for hanging the drive on a small ring. HTH Regards, Jim

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.

Like a number of USB drives I have purchased in the past and used on multiple computers it seems like half of them Windows does not recognize them as the size that they are. Windows would only format this thing to 4GB. But, when I use Etcher to burn ISOs to it Etcher always sees it as a 64GB drive with 63GB free for use and burns my iso images just fine.....until the drive died after being used around 20 times. Most of the time it sat in the drawer of my properly air conditioned and heated home, so a range of 68f to 75f and no other real reason for it to die to quickly. Never left it in the car and never ran around with it in my pocket getting physically stressed as I moved around. This thing never left the house but now....its dead and will be put in a drawer with a pile of others that seem to have a read/write life of two dozen cycles. God help us understand why SSDs seem to work so well but USB sticks are terrible as are many microSD cards....Kindle Fire, stop destroying those too.
