Transcend JetFlash 700 16gb USB Flash Drive TS16GJF700

They are reliable and when size matters they dont lie or cheat.

I always try to use Transcend flash drives because they have proved to be reliable over the years and are now much more affordable. They are well i guess fast although i havent gone to the trouble of speed testing them to give an accurate figure, but they are fast enough for what i need, and to be honest reliability is far more important to me. The only down point i could give them is that they have the obligatory loose lid, that is probably the part that goes missing the quickest, they do have a reasonable hole that will take a key ring and it is one of the few flash drives in the Transcend range that wont break when fastened to a keyring. Transcend is one of the better brands that i would recommend, and the one thing you can be sure of is that if it says its 8-16-32-64-128gb etc. it will be exactly what it says on the packet.Read full review

Ultra Slow USB 3.0 Flash Drive

This is the most disappointing USB flash drive I have ever used.

When Transcend first launched this model it had a stated write speed of around 18MB/s, not great for a USB3 flash drive but just about acceptable. However, after two product revisions that has now dropped to a truly glacial 4MB/s and they no longer state the write speed on the packaging, for obvious reasons!

In fairness to Transend, the current revision of this drive is selling for some 50% of what it cost when it launched. That said, even at launch it barely deserved the "JetFlash" name.

On the plus side, the drive seems reliable, read speeds are in the high 70MB/s and is reasonably well made (though noticeably flimsier than the JetFlash 600 for example).

If it were possible I'd rate it only 1/2 star.Read full review

Great to use as a bootable USB stick

These flash drives from Transcend are great for using as bootable USB sticks.
Not all makes of USB sticks are bootable but the Transcend sticks have no problem.This is the second Transcend stick I have purchased, the first one being an 8gb and now I have purchased the 16gb .
They have a small blue light that flashes to indicate that the USB stick is being activated or in use, but it;s a "quiet" gentle flash as opposed some other USB sticks that flash like a police car!

The build quality is not too bad, the body is of hard light plastic that would survive most accidental drops......however if you accidentally stepped on one of these Transcend sticks they would most likely break.........but then again most USB sticks other than the all metal type would likely break too.
The actual USB connecting tip is metal though, which means it's going to be more hard wearing than other USB sticks which have plastic USB tips.

Regarding Transcend as a brand, (doing some Google research) they are a Taiwanese as opposed a mainland Chinese company, and they are reportedly the second company in the world to begin manufacturing USB stick so they have a decent pedigree.
I have no qualms in recommending these USB sticks especially at the bargain price I managed to purchased these for!Read full review

Have bought 4 Transcend memory sticks previously and they are all all excellent. This is my fifth one and I have no complaints. Very satisfied.
