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

I like the flash drive since it has really quick transfer speeds. You dont need drivers it just works even on Linux which is my daily driver.

Filling this 128 GB drive with files is extremely slow compared to external hard drives or file copies. Writing 10 GB transfers the first 600-700 MB in about 5 seconds, then the drive decides to take a little break and slow to a trickle, taking nearly 10 minutes to finish. Copying that same 10 GB back to my computer took less than a minute. I turned off indexing, reformatted, no change. Small files vs large files, no discernible difference. Im guessing it gets too hot during extended write periods. If you intend to use this to write less than 600 MB at a time to the drive, it will work just fine. If you want to copy 50 GB from the drive, it will work do so quickly. But if you want to move more than 1GB to the drive at a time, I hope youre not in a hurry.

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.

Slider is too loose. It moves in and out on its own when in pocket.

Its a great USB, tons of memory for a great price. Very easy to carry around, protective when it slides in (it will not slide out and get damaged). No issues with all the computers I use finding the device, no issues saving or downloading files. However, the push button to slide the USB back into storage is a bit sensitive. Sometimes when I go to plug it into my computer, it slides back into its storage. I usually have to hold it on its sides (a bit awkward) to plug it into my computer. But thats something I can live with considering I need to save big files for research.

I bought this when I needed to rebuild a netbook that had died. The hard drive was going out, the owner had never made a copy of the operating system as prompted to several times and the machine crashed due to basically neglect. I managed to get the drive running with some sata cabling long enough to copy the operating system to this drive. I then replaced the faulty hard drive, reloaded the operating system from this flash drive usb and the machine is now alive and well. I was impressed with the quality of this drive based on the price. So much in fact, that I turned right around and bought a 64G version for my own needs.

Fantastic little USB stick at a very high capacity. It works perfectly and transfers content to and from the PC with ease and speed. Ive never had it crash, disconnect or corrupt. Although I think for the price and capacity of the drive, the housing of the drive feels a little flimsy, Ive definitely felt better quality. If you plug it in to a port, it seems very easy to push it left to right it gives way to quickly. It is obvious that youve bought it to store lots of information and you would hate to lose any of it. But I had actually given it a big knock with lots of force without it breaking, cracking or even disconnecting so maybe Im just being paranoid. Pros: High capacity USB 3.0 High transfer speeds Cons: Expensive Could be much cheaper Feels flimsy

No surprises here. Works as advertised. However, the transfer speed is something of a question given it is a USB3 drive. But no complains at this cost.

Pretty fast, but a good example of why benchmarking software isnt much of a guide. Heres what Crystal Disk Mark has to say (and the photo shows a transfer of two video files on Windows 10, with an SSD source and this drive plugged into a fast USB 3.0 port that lives up to the 3.0 standard): Sequential Read (Q= 32,T= 1) : 102.911 MB/s Sequential Write (Q= 32,T= 1) : 97.646 MB/s Random Read 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 6.301 MB/s [ 1538.3 IOPS] Random Write 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 0.262 MB/s [ 64.0 IOPS] Sequential Read (T= 1) : 105.711 MB/s Sequential Write (T= 1) : 87.028 MB/s Random Read 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) : 5.113 MB/s [ 1248.3 IOPS] Random Write 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) : 0.231 MB/s [ 56.4 IOPS] Please see the photo of an actual transfer- it slows to about 23MB/sec after 150MB are transferred.

Transcend has always made good products when it comes to convenient, portable, reliable memory cards and flash drives. I only deduct one star because it is hard to see this device in my backpack due to the black color of the body. Otherwise, it works as it should. It is fast, it is convenient, and 32GB is more than enough for my current needs. Transcend is also very affordable, especially when compared to other, similar, products. I would recommend the JetFlash 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive
