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

!!!BEWARE,THIS PRODUCT IS ACTUALLY 29.4GB,NOT 32GB!!! (at least from my personal experience) However,other than that and how annoying and seemingly flimsy way the plastic surrounding the USB is because of its very simple design. The way you open and close the 3.0 USB is by sliding along a slider embedded in the plastic,which feels weak at the time,but hey,I may grow to love it!

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?

It works, but just okay. Im a computer engineer and USB drives are like screwdrivers are to auto mechanics. I was looking for fast USB 3.0 16-32GB drive with activity LEDs and no caps (caps get lost so easy) I thought the Transcend JetFlash 790 would be my go to drive. I ordered two drives(Black 32GB) and once they arrived I started testing them. Some major disappoints popped up immediately #1 There is no activity LED, as stated in the description, on either drive. #2 Im getting very inconsistent read/write results between the two drives on CrystalDiskMark. At first I thought this was just an anomaly, but after running the test multiple times on multiple machines, the results were consistent and followed the drives. So the short answer here is that these drives will work, but your mileage may very. Quality control could be better. For not having an activity LED and for the wildly inconsistent read/write results I can only give these drives 3 stars. hope this helps.

I picked this up to load isos and livecds to be my all-in-one boot device. I only picked this model because of price versus usb 2.0 drives but I am very disappointed in the 3.0 speeds. I wasnt expecting much coming from a sandisk xtreme doing insane write speeds but I was still sad to see usb 2.0 speeds. 11-15mbps write when it claims 45, Yeah right. Skip a few cups of starbucks coffee and get the sandisk. That being said, it works great otherwise. The kind of computers I pop this baby into doesnt have 3.0 ports only my home computer.

Not able to open pics after download. Pics are in an unknown to me format and I’m. It able to open them

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 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.

I bought four of these Transcend 32 GB JetFlash 790 UB 3.1 flash drives to create bootable Windows 10 drives to install or upgrade computers to Windows 10. I had been using some old USB 2.0 flash drives. I use a program called Rufus to transfer the Windows 10 ISO to the flash drives. The first transfer I did seemed to go really fast so I decided to time them. I timed the transfer to the 2.0 drives and then to these 3.1 drives. The 2.0 drive took about 7 minutes and 30 seconds to transfer. The 3.1 drive that I timed with a stopwatch took about 3 minutes and 25 seconds which seemed slower than the first 3.1 drive I used. Theoretically, USB 3.1 should be about 20 times faster than 2.0 (3.0 is about ten times faster), so the transfer to the 3.1 drive seemed a lot slower than it should have been. Ill be setting up more drives when Win 10 build 2004 comes out, so Ill time the transfers again and see if it differs much. Overall, though, Im happy with these drives.

At stores they have this same product for a lot more, its great to find the same on Amazon for a great price.

I have 5 of these flash drives in different capacities and Ive been using them for a couple of years. They are very reliable and I havent had problems despite I usually do not eject flash drives properly. Im comfortable to keep all of my data from university in this flash drive(its always a good idea to keep backup though) and carry it around as I am confident it will not lose my data.
