Looks just like the Sandisk Cruzer Micro - but a whole lot FASTER

September 9, 2010

Size: 16 GBPackage Type: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

Physically, this Transcend 16 GB JetFlash 500 Retractable USB 2.0 Flash Drive looks almost identical to the SanDisk Cruzer Micro 16GB drive. The retractable USB plug on the Transcend drive also works EXACTLY the same way as the Sandisk (I'm surprised that somebody hasn't got sued yet). But that's where the similarity ends, because the Transcend JetFlash is a whole lot faster!

A bit of background information: I own both the Sandisk Cruzer Micro 4GB and 16GB versions. What I noticed is that the 16GB version is much slower than the 4GB version, especially when witting data. I even contacted Sandisk customer support, trying to find out what is the speed of Cruzer Micro. The response I got was quite useless:
"There is no guaranteed speed for SanDisk Cruzer Micro flash drives, as the speed for these flash drives have not been tested. If you need a flash drive with fast data transfer speed, we recommend SanDisk Extreme Cruzer Contour for this."

Prior to ordering this JetFlash drive, I visited the Transcend USA web site to search for information. Surprise, surprise! The data transfer speed of JetFlash 500 (under the 'V' series) is actually specified as:
"Read 15 MByte/s, Write 7 MByte/s (16GB)"

Once I received this Transcend JetFlash drive, I put it through several benchmark programs, to compare against the Sandisk Cruzer Micro:

- For typical photo files, write speed of the Transcend varies from 6.8MB/s (for 1MB file) to 11.3MB/s (for 5MB file). In contrast, the Sandisk only ranges from 2.0MB/s to 3.5MB/s. That means the Transcend is about 3x faster than the Sandisk! (See my Customer Images for details)

- For very large video files, the Transcend writes at about 7.8MB/s, while the Sandisk only reaches 5.1MB/s. The difference in smaller but still significant.

In terms of storage space: The Transcend drive reports 15.1GB of total capacity, while the Sandisk drive reports 14.9GB. Note that it is normal for a '16GB' flash drive to show only 14.9GB of storage, because 14.9GB for computer people (where 1GB = 2 to the power 30) actually translates to about 16,000,000,000 bytes. So that can be called '16GB' according to marketing people (where 1GB = one billion bytes).

In summary, the Transcend JetFalsh 16GB drive looks and works just like the Sandisk Cruzer Micro, but its write speed is +50% to +200% faster than the latter. As of this writing, both drives are available at similar prices, so this makes the Transcend a much better value.

[Update on Nov 3, 2010]:
- The price of this Transcend USB drive dropped further during the past two months. So now it is an even better value.

- Several reviewers have reported bad experiences using this USB drive on the Xbox 360. Right now your only safe bet is to get the Xbox 360 - 16 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive by SanDisk, which costs twice as much.

- If you don't intend to use the software supplied by Transcend, simply rename the file "Autorun.inf" (located at the root directory of this drive) to something else, such as "Autorun._inf". Then you can use it as a simple USB storage device.

[Update on April 7, 2012]:
I have my Transcend USB drive connected to my desktop PC as secondary storage most of the time, only occassionally remove it to transfer files. So far it worked perfectly fine for 1.5 years. It should be noted that I have used at least half a dozen USB drives and at least 20 flash memory cards in the past decade, and none of them ever failed on me. So it could be that I am just more careful with semiconductor devices (I always discharge myself of any possible electrostatic charge before handling memory cards, for example)

No problems here

August 23, 2017

Size: 64 GBPackage Type: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

One of the complaints I see a lot about these high capacity jump drives is failure of the media, which will then not reformat, leaving a dead device.

I've been using this regularly for three months now with no problem. I haven't really used a lot of these over the years, so I'm no expert on how "fast" they are supposed to save and read files. However, I haven't at any time felt like I was waiting too long for even large file transfers to complete.

The unit has a convenient slide to protect or extrude the USB connector. When fully extruded, it locks into position so that you don't just push the USB connector back into the cover when you try to plug it into a computer. However, make sure that you aren't putting pressure on the slide button when trying to plug it in, or you can accidentally release it anyway.

I'm happy with this device and feel no qualms about recommending it to other customers.

Do not trust the words "Lifetime Warranty"

January 19, 2013

Size: 32 GBPackage Type: Frustration-Free PackagingVerified Purchase

This is not so much a review of the product - which was fine while it worked - as it is a review of the unscrupulous practices of the Transcend RMA Department. One of the reasons that I purchased this particular USB flash drive was that it has a "Lifetime Warranty". I purchased this item in January 2011, and it was used sparingly to hold and transfer some working files. A little background on me: I was the IT Manager for a medium-sized business for over eight years, I have several technical certifications, and I know how to handle electronic equipment in a safe and careful manner.

In early December of 2012, my Transcend 32GB Jet Flash 500 suddenly stopped working. It was no longer recognized by any computer that I plugged it into. I went to Transcend's website and filled out the RMA request - a process that was fairly simple. After getting an RMA number, I carefully wrapped the drive in a bubble-wrap pouch - WITH THE CONNECTOR FULLY RETRACTED INSIDE THE HOUSING - and mailed the package to Transcend's RMA Department. On January 15 2013, I received the thumb drive back from Transcend along with a document stating that the warranty was VOID due to the fact that the drive was "physically damaged". Indeed, the drive that they returned to me, which I can only assume is actually mine, is now physically damaged, as they have bent the connector so badly that it is no longer possible to retract the connector into the housing. I've tried to post a picture in the customer photos section, but so far it has not appeared. Maybe Amazon won't allow me to post it.

I am very disappointed in the response from Transcend, and I will never purchase one of their products again.
