Summary: Faster than most 2008-09-16
Comment: I bought this to replace a Corsair Voyager GT 8Gb flash drive that I lost. I'd have bought another Corsair but they don't make them any more. There isn't a flash drive in the USA that's as fast as the Corsair, but the Jet Transcend is pretty quick. Read's get up to about 25mb/s and writes at near 20mb/s. The Corsair would do around 34 and 27. It's also not as durable as the Corsair, which was nearly indestructible. The Jet has a cheap plastic body that might break if you step on it, and the body is too large to fit into an adjacent unoccupied slot next to an occupied slot. Or if the empty slot is too close to the case. But the Jet is the only 16Gb SLC-memory (faster and longer lived than MLC) flash drive for under $200.
I'd probably buy it again if I needed a fast 16Gb flash drive. Although I just picked up an OWC On-the-Go USB/Firewire400/800 pocket drive (3.5" by 5") that's going to replace my flash drives cause it's way faster and bigger and harder to loose. 200Gb for about the same price as the Jet.

Summary: Fastest I've had yet 2007-10-08
Comment: I've been very pleased with the speed of this device. I've tried 2 other 16 gb USB drives and while they worked fine, they were slow. I keep my email client (Thunderbird) on the USB stick, and using this device, it is as useable as if it were installed on my hard drive. Other drives were too slow. Only negative, and it is minor, is that it is BIG. Definitely a conversation piece. You will have to use the supplied dongle if you plan on using lateral USB ports as this device will block ports used on either side. Small item to cope with considering the speed.

Summary: Great little Device 2007-09-19
Comment: I bought this 16GB device a few weeks ago. As soon as I got it home, I formated it with ext3 for a Fedora box. I have no need for outdated and trouble prone windows NTSB or FAT16 or any windows stuff at all.
This little device is fast and very reliable, and stores a little more than 16GB. very nice.
I will probably buy another one or two.

Summary: 4 GB file size 2007-06-15
Comment: Please keep in mind that FAT32 formatting has a 4GB file size limit. Actualy, I think it's 2 Bytes less than 4GB. NTFS is unlimited based on partition size. If you want a file larger that 4GB, you need to use NTFS.

Summary: Flawed 2007-05-22
Comment: I just bought this flash drive and found it to be extremely flawed. The problem is this... while it formats and shows that it is 15.3GB, every time I tried moving a file larger than 2GB to the freshly formatted drive, it would error saying there was not enough room. Small files were no problem. Now I had 11GB left when i tried to move the 4GB file so it wasn't for lack of room. I reformatted the flash drive 2 times and tried it on 2 different PCs which both had Windows XP and Service Pack 2 installed.
Just a warning for those of you that are interested.
