Transcend Jet Flash 110 - 1 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive TS1GJF110

After researching several drives, I decided to go with this one because of it's high ratings on several sites. I am not dissappointed!! Running multiple portable apps does not slow it down. The only negative that I have about this product is the jetflash software is a little quirky. Very good buy.

I bought this about two years ago for critical files. I had a 256 MB Kingston Data Traveler but wanted something with more memory. I opted for this as the price was good and it had reasonably good reviews.

Well, after having it one year it started going bad. In addition, it doesn't work in some USB ports on a consistent basis. Unfortunately, I bought a 4 GIG Transcend, which is still working but it's not dependable. I've only had it about a year. On the other hand, the old Kingston is as solid and dependable as it ever was. And I've owned it about four years.

Bottom line: If you want to store mission critical files, don't buy this. Invest more money and get a Kingston Traveler. I have another flash drive but haven't owned it long enough to recommend it yet. I can, however, recommend the Kingston.

But stay away from Transcend unless you just want something cheap for files you can afford to lose and if you want a throw-away.

This drive works fine as far as flash memory goes. And it beats losing the cap because there is none. I have three SanDisk Titanium drives. Two which are now broken and cannot be used. SanDisk has replaced two of the drives a total of three times. Now they say I'm breaking them and won't replace them. The fact is, I am not breaking them. They just don't hold up. I travel from jobsite office to jobsite office. I plug the drive into a computer about 20 times a week. They hold up for about three months then they either physically break at the male part of the drive or the slide mechanism wears out and the slide won't lock in the out position. SO I gave up on SanDisk and am now trying the Transend drive. I have had it a few weeks and it is already looking like it's not going to hold up. The materials and assembly appear and feel cheap, so I would be surprised if it lasts more than a month or two. I back up the data about three times a week just in case. If you are an...Read more
