Transcend JetFlash V30 - 2 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive TS2GJFV30 (Black)

Comment: For the money, this is a very slow drive. I can buy a drive that's much faster for much less money.

Comment: I have been using this drive for a couple months. Works very well. Been using mostly as an mp3 player with the USB connector in my car. Last night I had it in my shirt pocket and it went in the washing machine. Luckily my wife found it before going to the dryer. I thought it would be ruined but after a night of letting it dry out, I plugged it in and works just as new. Not sure if all USB flash drives can hold up in the wash but this one did so I strongly recommend it!

Comment: The Transcend 4GB JetFlash is a good performer, that is very competitively priced. It is just 0.6 inches wide, 0.2 inches thick, and 2.3 inches long with the cap attached. The case is hard shiny smooth plastic, with no clips or provisions for attaching to anything, except for a small hole at one end, where a lanyard or strap could be attached. The case appears to be hard enough to resist most casual damage, and the cap has a nice tight positive lock. The USB connector is fixed, not retractable. Not losing the tiny cap, might be problem.

Supposedly compatible with USB 2.3, transfer speed appears to be relatively fast. The drive comes with software to restore and synchronize data. It has a blue indicator light to verify connectivity, and which blinks to indicate activity.

Memory prices at Amazon often fluctuate, and sellers frequently change, but if you shop carefully, you can often get fabulous deals. Some third party sellers are reliable, but even if you pay a little more, buying direct from Amazon is just good insurance. If you do happen to get a bad drive, replacement is a quick and trouble-free process.

Many never think about the possible consequences, if a drive with sensitive personal information is lost. But should it ever happen, it could be a disaster that leaves you with a very sick feeling in your stomach. Exercising care, and treating your flash drive in accordance with its real value, might be good advice for us all. Tiny drives can easily be lost, so it is somewhat disappointing, that Transcend did not provide a lanyard or strap, or some more substantial provisions for carrying it, or attaching it to something.

Comment: Guys, Do NOT buy Transcend flash drives. My first one went bad after little use. So I got it replaced. This one lasted a little bit longer but eventually went bad within an year. The product physically looks ok but the quality is awful. For the price this item has, it's not recommended at all. Cheap stuff sold at high price.

Comment: it was something i needed to add to get free shipping, and it ended up something my mother needed. shipped on time and perfect
