This review is from: Transcend JetFlash V10 - 16 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive TS16GJFV10 (Green) (Personal Computers) When my 4GB Ducati SanDisk Extreme USB flash drive started filling up on a regular basis, I knew it was time yet again for something bigger. Hard to believe 4GB isn't big enough! Back in the old days, I remember buying an external 1GB hard drive for a Sun workstation. It cost thousands and I thought "What will I ever do with one gigabyte of storage?". Oh well...
So I figured I'd jump right past 8GB and go for a 16GB USB flash drive. I use flash drives to transfer files, images and data for a website. I looked around but couldn't find a 16GB drive that was reasonably priced but fast - then I found this Transcend "JetFlash" V10 16GB and bought one even though I didn't know much about it, basically because it was the cheapest 16GB USB Flash drive I found from a known brand. The case is made from a thin semi-transparent plastic, and the chrome bar around it is actually chrome plated plastic. It does feel cheap, has a hollow sound and feels a bit flimsy.

I was using it in my car as my head unit has a USB input slot. I had a 4gb thumb drive in there for about a year and it worked great. I'm not sure if I hit a fluke with this Transcend thumb drive. Or this just wasn't designed to be used in a car stereo. I just really wish I had keep box so I can return this. :( 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Transcend JetFlash V10 - 16 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive TS16GJFV10 (Green) (Personal Computers) Just got this drive and I like it. I am getting about 22MB/s read and 12MB/s write, very much in line with the specifications. 500MB file took 40 secs to write and just 22 secs to read.
One thing I don't understand is why the light is blue when the drive is green... why not make it in some more matching colors ? Another small thing is the capless design - it rattles a little bit. The drive holds very tightly in the "open" position but feels it will slide out easily when in the "closed" position. I do however like it a lot and recommend. |
