Transcend 8 GB JetFlash 530 Retractable USB Flash Drive - TS8GJF530 (White)

I've shopped around for a good-all-around flashdrives but couldn't find that's better than this one. The color is office friendly, no other flashdrive has white and as stylish as this one - easily distinguishable, most people have the generic black color "micro cruzer" - when they see I have this type - they want one, too, the design is a quick draw in/out - no more losing caps! I bought a Case Logic black case for it from Walmart for $4 bucks and snap a swivel larnyard. Loop the larnyard through your belt and stash it in your pocket - if you don't want anything dangling around your neck. First you need to download the (Jetflash Elite) software from Transcend's website. It offers a password capability - note: most flashdrives do not have a password capability (don't buy one without it) so all the information you have in there can be compromised - kinda like leaving your car with valueables inside UNlocked in public. Price is fair. Capacity is midrange (8GB). Performance is very fa s t. Works great with Windows 7 and later. Works with Macs as well. Stop your shopping around and get this one - there's just no comparison!

I'd been using this pendrive for almost a year and I liked it: it was big, fast, cheap, didn't get hot, and didn't have a cap to lose - hands down my favorite pendrive. So I was sad when it went missing a week ago. Imagine my joy this morning when I put on my pants only to find my lost pendrive there waiting for me in the pocket! Imagine my dismay upon realizing that I had washed my pants since the last time I'd worn them. I put the pendrive in a bag of rice just in case there was any residual humidity inside, though I suspect that the permanent press cycle took care of that. This evening I took it out of the bag, shook the rice out, uttered a small prayer to the gods of NAND, and stuck it in my USB port. Success! Not only was the drive recognized, but it still has all its data! I started checking for corrupted files but everything's OK. I copied a 600 mb file back and forth from the pendrive to my desktop and, even with a bunch of other windows I got 22 MB/s write, 7.5 MB/s read. Win.

Bought this to replace a 4gb Transcend drive. I've been impressed with all the Transcend memory products I've owned so far (mp3 players, flash drives, flash cards) and this continues with this product. The drive is fast enough for my uses. The build quality is good, although it feels a bit flimsy at times. I've dropped it a few times (by accident, I swear!) and I've not had any data problems unlike a Kingston flash drive I own that gets corrupted files with every drop (yes, I could try to be a bit more careful). My only qualm about this flash drive is that although the slider locks into place, it's sometimes quite easily pushed back if your trying to push the drive into a tight usb port. And I was hoping that the activity LED would've lit up the majority of the drive or at least the thumb slider (like the Sandisk Cruzer) but it's a pretty tiny LED. I would buy this product again though.

If you're looking for a decent flash drive, this one's it. Nice retractable feature and everything works fine. The speed is a bit slow though. I have yet to see write speeds over 1.5 MB/S.

I don't know if I just lucked out with a price drop or what, but this was an amazing buy. Transfer speeds are about typical for a transcend USB drive. I use Ubuntu mostly, and I'm finding I get transfer speeds around 10 mbps, which is all I really need. If I really wanted more, I'd go with USB 3.0 and upgrade my computer. 64 gigs! This is great. I can do a pretty complete backup of my files before I do an OS change or reinstall. I've owned five other Transcend thumb drives, and not one of them has ever broken. I've had to reformat them sometimes, but other than that they've all been great. This one is no exception. I honestly prefer the cap-style thumbdrives to the retractable ones, but for the price and the capacity, I'll deal with that little issue. Great thumb drive -- if you want a relatively high-capacity drive and you don't care about read/write speed very much, this is a great device for you.

Flash drives get cheaper or faster. USB 3.0 flash drives are often much faster but cost twice as much as good USB 2.0 drives. Is the price difference worth it? It all depends on what you use it for. After I discovered a $2 "Nexus Media Importer" app (no root required) that would allow me to access my media files via the USB 2.0 port on my Google Nexus 7 (N7) tablet, I had to find a reasonably big and reasonably fast USB flash drive for those times when I don't have ready access to WIFI. (With WIFI, the N7 can easily view large video files via network Windows or Linux Samba shares.) For N7's USB 2.0 port, I chose Transcend's $38 Jetflash 530 USB 64GB flash drive. (Note: 530 series is faster than 500 series.) As you can see from my Crystal DiskMark test image (see photo at top of product page), the Transcend is fairly fast while reading large video files and still not bad reading small files. It has decent speed writing large files but performs poorly when writing small files. For use with the N7, writing small files is not important at all, so this flash drive matches my N7 requirements. As others have mentioned, it looks like (but is much faster than) a slightly elongated white version of a SanDisk Cruzer slider. The Transcend 530 64GB comes formatted as FAT32, making it easily accessible on both Windows and non-Windows devices.
