Very Small, but Robust and Quite Functional, January 23, 2009

This review is from: Transcend JetFlash T5 - 4GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive TS4GJFT5W (White) (Personal Computers)

I bought this product from Amazon a couple of weeks ago. What most surprised me was the size - it is very small, much smaller than the average USB drive. If you don't attach it to something it would be very easy to lose. They've made it smaller in part by getting rid of the metal casing that usually surrounds the connector (see the picture). Because of that, this drive sits a bit more loosely in USB slots.

Also, because there's no casing, it is possible to put the drive into a USB slot upside down. The only way you'll know it's upside down is that the computer won't recognize it.

Other than that, the drive works exactly as it should. The slide mechanism that protects the connector works well, although it is a little sensitive. You have to make sure that you've taken all pressure off it to lock it in place before using it.

The drive feels well made, and I'm confident it will last a long time in my pocket. I've had no problems at all with it so far...Read more

This review is from: Transcend JetFlash T5 - 4GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive TS4GJFT5W (White) (Personal Computers)

Pros:

I've run this flash drive through the washer accidentally several times and it still works with no signs of damage.

It's tiny so it's easy to store.

The retractable contacts keep it from getting damaged.

Cons:

There's no guidance to help you insert the USB key the right way and it will go in either way. Usually when I use this on a new computer I have to stick it in, find out it's inserted upside-down into the USB port, then flip it over because there's no standard to which way USB ports are facing.
