Transcend 16GB JetFlash 790 USB 3.1 Flash Drive (TS16GJF790K) Black

These USB v3.1 flash drives are durable, convenient and FAST. Write speed in particular is a wild improvement over the "best" v2.0 drives.There are faster ones available but they cost multiple times the price.Definitely consider these if you are frequently working with a great number of smaller files like music, pictures and documents. That's what I'm doing and speed is increased 2-3 times compared to the other (all v2.0) thumb drives of various make/model I have. If you are working frequently with huge files like videos then this will prove good but you may want to look for ones with a higher (and verified) write speed.

I'm giving this the 5 stars it hugely deserves for price and capacity. I'm expecting longevity as well, since so far everything I've purchased from Transcend has been problem-free. If it doesn't last, I'll come back and grumpily remove some stars.I'm 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 you'll be waiting longer than you are used to these days. I didn't 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.Don't fool around with the all-important aspects of learning smooth connection and disconnection practices with this. Take care, don't yank and pull but go slow. You'll 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. I'm 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 I'm 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?

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 I'm 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 doesn't 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 I'll be looking for a Drive where the slider doesn't have to be held out. Of course that then brings up the question: are flash drives made like that? I can't 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.

Fast USB stick. Doesn’t work too well with Wiis, but that’s not what most people use these for lol. If you’re thinking about this one, I would definitely put it as a contender!

I ended up buying two of these--the black 32 gig USB 3.0 version first. I had initially ordered another Transcend USB drive along with it but the write speed was half what this one is so I returned it and ordered this one again in white. So far so good with read/write speeds. They are as advertised which when I compared them to other drives in this price range is pretty good. 32 gigs for under 12 bucks was unheard of just a year ago. I like the fact that the USB connector draws back inside the plastic housing so its protected. When you need to connect it, its locked into place so you dont have to hold the button down to make the connection. The light is a nice touch. Yes, you can live without it, but having an indicator to let you know if the drive is busy can save you from pulling out the drive at the wrong time thus corrupting the data. Transcend memory cards have been very good to me in the past. Its all I'll use in my high end digital camera. Here's hoping these USB drives also continue to impress me with their performance and longevity.

Eu tenho pendrive transcend antigo, top top usb2.0Comprei este novo modelo JETFLASH 790 3.0 de 3.0usb nao tem nada ele esta com velocidade inferior ao antigo de 2.0usb...decepcionante.So os comentarios negativos depois de ter comprado, fazer o quê!!!

works for what i want it for my vehicle for music i like

Habe den Stick schon unzählige male beschrieben und er arbeitet immer noch zuverlässig. Anders als bei vielen von mir gekauften 3.1 Sticks, welche von der Geschwindigkeit recht unterirdisch waren, ist dieser flott wie versprochen. Mittlerweile würde ich USB-C wählen.

The transcend pen drive (64GB) is very good based on my experience for the past 1 month or so. But the actual storage space is only 60.5 GB as against quoted 64 GB. This kind of difference in storage space seems to be the case for any brand of pendrive in general.

Très content de mon achat la clé et Très rapide en écriture et en lecture je m'en suis servis pour faire une maj de navigation dans ma bmw i3s électrique je l'ai formaté et télécharger la maj sa été assez vite moins de 30min en ayant un fichier de 66gigas donc hésité pas sa vaut le coup
