Transcend 64GB JetFlash 790 USB 3.0 Flash Drive (TS64GJF790W),White

Update: Purchased a 2nd 64GB drive. Read speeds are ~4% better/faster, but write speeds are 20% worse/slower, compared to first 64GB drive purchased. Is that normal manufacturing variablity? I don't know, but am lowering my rating to 3.5 stars.Strangely or not, the new 64BG drive is formatted as exFat32, instead of old school FAT32 like the one I purchased a couple months ago. The only format options shown by Windows for this new 64GB drive are exFat32 or NTFS, although there are probably special programs that could format it as FAT32.Incorrect info (I reported to Amazon): These drive do NOT have an LED status light. I have 3 of them; no lights or LEDs whatsoever. Confirmed by official mfr website https://www.transcend-info.com/Products/No-610---Original review ~4 starsPurchased both a 32GB and a 64GB stick. Both are FAT32 format, which I have not changed. Actual storage size available is about 9% less than advertised (booo! but not unusual).No huge issues so far. Could definitely be faster (they are nowhere near theoretical max possible 3.0/3.1 speeds), but good enough for my purposes. Does not seem to get hot; just mildly warm after transferring a few files. For the price, I am mostly satisifed.TRANSFERRING LARGE FILES (movies):For the 32GB stick, copying (writing) a 611 MB movie (.mp4 format) from traditonal non-SSD hard drive to the stick took ~17 seconds. Transferring a larger 1.6 GB movie took ~45 seconds.TESTS: (see attached photo)I am no expert. I used free "USB Flash Benchmark" program, with the Transcend sticks in a powered USB 3.0 hub by Vantec ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NX1NKXV/ ), and also plugged directly into 3.0 ports on back of a gaming PC (speeds were consistent with hub vs straight port).READ speeds for files 65 kB to 16 MB: 64 GB stick: ~ 120 MB/s 32 GB stick: ~ 140 MB/s (slightly better)WRITE speeds for files 64kB to 16 MB: 64 GB stick: ~ 29 to 65 MB/s 32 GB stick: ~ 29 to 80 MB/s (a wee bit better)Read & write speeds continue to drop with smaller files (below 64 KB size), which is usual for USB sticks.The 32 GB Transcend seems to perform up to 17% better than the 64 GB stick, at least for some larger file writes. Probably normal manufacturing/quality variance?

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?

This is my 2nd Transcend flash drive, and my 4th storage device from Transcend overall. Not one of their products has ever had an issue or error for me, even after years of abuse, so I would say that I definitely trust their products. So let me get into the pros/cons of this particular drive:PROS:-Massive storage capacity! It blows me away that 128gb can fit on a flash drive these days-Speed: Although I haven't done an official speed test, the USB 3.0 seems to transfer large (10gb+) files very fast-Physical size is very small. I was pleasantly surprised at how tiny this thing is, as it looked a bit larger in the stock photos. It's very thin, and barely longer than a standard house key.-Design: This may be more of a personal opinion, but I find the physical appearance to be very aesthetically pleasing, thin, and sleek.CONS:-Lightweight plastic construction. Although I've never had a Transcend drive break on me, I do think this one just 'feels' cheaper.-The slider is a little loose. It's not bad, but I somehow wish that there was a more definitive 'click' when you slide the USB end out or in. It simply should be sturdier.-Bright LED light. This could be a pro or con, depending on your preferences, but the blue LED indicator is quite bright. I like it, but when the lights are off and I'm watching a movie it can be a bit distracting.CONCLUSION:Although it has a few drawbacks, I think this drive is the best flash drive money can buy right now. At it's current price, it's about the same money-wise as it's competitors, but it looks a million times better. As long as the plastic material of which it's made holds up overtime, this review will remain a 5/5. Highly recommended!

Gekauft wurde der 64GB USB Stick insbesondere weil in der Artikel Beschreibung stand: "5 Jahre Garantie wenn direkt bei Amazon gekauft".Nun ist der Stick defekt, nach zweieinhalb Jahren, Rücksendung /Umtausch, Fehlanzeige!Weder Hersteller noch der Verkäufer halten sich an die 5jährige ausdrücklich zugesagte Leistungsgarantie.Leider keine Produktempfehlung.

Reviewing the 64GB version:Nice quality and durable plastic case with what feels to be a solid retractable connector, has a nice feel to it.There was lots of discussion about how it would be rubbish for a cheap stick so I didn't have high hopes but decided to CrystalDiskMark it to be sure - got 110MB/s read and 71MB/s write, which is vastly better than I would have expected for this kind of money (just over £5), even much more expensive sticks would struggle to reach this performance.Doesn't get too hot in use (just a little warm) and no issues to speak of. Does seem to slow to around 25MB/s write after 2GB or so has been transferred but still consider that quite quick.Highly recommended.

A very good reliable 64Gb flash drive not the fastest USB 3 Flash drive out there but excellent storage capacity for the money and looks goods and is easy to see its working with the bright blue Led lighting up the device when it is plugged into a PC, A Hd Television USB port or a Playstation 3 and works problem free with all of these. It is easily and quickly recognized by a PC and drivers are automatically installed on a Windows 7 PC. After which time the device is instantly ready to be used and can be used as a ready boost device. It is instantly recognizable on a Playstation 3 plugged into a free USB port or a USB hub and can be used to copy music onto it,pictures and games saves with no problems,no issue or conflicts. So the Transend Jetdrive is multi system compatable and a very good alround external storage device which has a multitude of uses from storing pictures,videos,music,game saves,games,applications as long as they are compatible with flash drives,there is no problems. A very good alround flash drive very good storage capacity for the price,moderately fast,easy to use and can be used on a variety of systems.

The JetDrive is a nice size to hold, perhaps erring on the upper end of average in terms of bulk. I deliberately bought a drive that had some size to it so that a) it wouldn't disappear down the side of a couch so easily, and b) so that the electronics build quality would reflect the physical space available.On the latter point, it seems extremely stable in all devices I've tested it with. My PC, TV, and hi-fi all quite happily recognise it immediately (which is more than can be said for my HP drive...) and transfer speeds 'feel' very good indeed. USB 3.0 is definitely a step up in that respect. It also doesn't get too hot during use, which another drive of mine (Busbi) does whilst being only marginally smaller.My only qualm with it is the slide-out locking mechanism for the cap. It's far too easy to either not push it the whole way, or accidentally unclip it from its locked position. This results in it pushing back inside the body when you try to plug it in. It's not a big deal, but form is just as important as function in something that's designed to be moved around.

have it in the lg tv, to record live in, only issue is that the lgtv makes it so it cant be watched anywhre else, even on an older lg tv.works well for the task required.
