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

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

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.

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?

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.

Stay away from this brand. Cheaply made and dies after a week or two. Flimsy connector becomes looser w use. Buy PNY. Those last.

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.

This flash drive is great and for the price I paid for the capacity. I basically can carry around a few thousand songs and bunch of full HD movies in my pocket! Its amazing how much flash drives have advanced over the years. I used Black magic speed test to test the speeds. It clocked the read speed at around 120MB/s and the write at 80MB/s. To be honest it is pretty slower compared to my other drives but I will take that trade off because of the capacity.

I have been using these for years because I have yet to have one fail on me. Unfortunately, Transcend has take off the activity LED that used to be on these drives. I will be trying some other brands since these are not so special anymore.

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.

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.
