JF790 32GB USB 3.2 Gen1 Flash Drive

The Transcend 128GB JetFlash 790 USB 3.0 flash drive arrived well-packaged and in perfect condition. Its speed is excellent, making file transfers quick and efficient. The build quality feels solid and durable, and I haven’t encountered any issues so far. It’s compatible with both PCs and laptops, providing a reliable storage solution for everyday use. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a high-performance, trustworthy USB drive.

Excellent performance specs with 90 MBS read and 45 MBS write in a well made package. The slider to extend the connector moves smoothly and locks securely. I also like the fact that this flash drive is made in Taiwan by a Taiwanese firm rather than China. The only issues I have are minor and are with the ad & packaging. The Amazon ad states "Hardware Interface USB 3.0". The product packaging includes states "USB 3.1 Gen 1 flash drive". USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 are essentially the same thing and have the exact same performance specs so other than being confusing to some not an issue - just a little sloppy. The info on the product on the back of the packaging was too small to read.

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?

Generally this drive would be great, but in this case the quality control is bad. The activity light is non-functional. I have other identical JetFlash 790 drives and the activity light is functional. It's probably rare. One thing to note is these drives are 3-bits per cell MLC flash memory (a.k.a. TLC ). Most in this price-range are TLC; the more bits per cell the less longevity the drive has. Again, if it wasn't for this latest arrival with a non-functioning activity light, I'd rate this drive 4.5 stars. The other issue that I'd suggest addressing is how easy it is to bend the drive. You must be careful when inserting or it will bend the metal connector inside the casing (possibly a solder joint, or where the usb metal connector is connected to the small circuit board inside). It can probably be bent back a number of times before snapping. Just be careful. The drive is fast, and a great alternative to Sandisk drives. I will buy again in the future. Works very fast in Linux whereas I've had trouble with another brand (Corsair) getting good USB 3.0 speeds. Virtually no matter what I do with Corsair drives, the drive write speed is horrible in Linux. This Transcend drive has a more compatible controller I think and is achieving the speeds mentioned on the package.

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!

I highly recommend this as Transend JetFlash USB thumb drive (which I bought in the 128GB size) PROS: Works flawlessly (no problems being recognized by devices, saves well, etc.) No discernible speed issues; seems fast to appear as a hard drive, and to save files Large storage size relative to cost Does not have a cap (...that will invariably be lost; I do not buy thumb drives with caps anymore) The slide out function works well (...thereby protecting the device when stored) Has a space for a lanyard to be attached (...I always run a lanyard or ribbon through these so they are easier to find and harder to lose) CONS: It is bit bulkier than some thumb drives (but only slightly; it is still a reasonable size) No other cons that I know of; it does what it is supposed to do, at a good value, and does so with out a cap. I am very happy with it.

Very good, I can save all my files perfectly so I don't have the computer full

I was in need of a good USB flash drive to update my cars infotainment system, and this fit the bill perfectly. It was well priced, and provides good value for the speed and capacity. Transcend has always been a reliable brand and this product is no exception to that reputation.

Der USB-Stick leistet mir seit ein paar jJhren gute Dienste. Die Übertragungsgeschwindigkeit ist ok und ich hatte noch nie datenverluste.

Usb c laden gewoon usb niet leesbaar! Wel snel bestanden opslagen.

great item real 512

zapis w okolicach 40MB/s, całkowita pojemność to tylko 225GB i za to jedna gwiazdka mniej

El conector usbc tiene un ligero falso... llega a desconectarse con un ligero movimiento... fuera de eso, excelentes velocidades lectura/escritura
