Digital camera reviews of Transcend JetFlash V30 - 4 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive TS4GJFV30 (Black)
Digital camera Review: Sleek little flash drive
Summary: 5 Stars
Although 4 GB flash drives can be found everywhere and manufactured by many brands, some are clunkier than others, and the Transcend Jetflash is among the sleeker ones. Shaped like a large vitamin with its rounded edges, it fits easily into even the most tightly spaced USB ports, primarily because it uses a removable cap instead of the rotating cover that some manufacturers use. Obviously, if you are prone to losing caps, then you might want to consider a different brand/model. It is so slim that you can slip it into your pocket and forget that it's there.
The black shiny case with its lime-green band where cap meets body looks cool. I consider it a stealth flash drive since it tends to "disappear" on dark surfaces. The hole for a lanyard is really too tiny to use unless you have a relatively stiff piece of elastic and good eyes; however, this isn't an issue for me since I'm more of a pocket or handbag storer.
All flash drives will fail eventually, so don't use yours for permanent back-up. I've had good luck with Transcend, and for that reason, I expect better than average reliability.

Digital camera Review: Slow write speed
Summary: 2 Stars
I get about 2 MB/s write speed when copying large files to this drive. It took over an hour to reformat it with Windows 7. There is nothing 'Jet" or 'Flash' when you are copying data to this drive. The computer store advertised it as 'High Speed'. The only thing high speed about it is the USB 2.0 port. I get about 14MB/s read speed. Reading files from this drive seems reasonably fast. I've been using this drive for 2 days now. So far, it seems to work ok. It's just slow. I read that it's supposed to have a blue LED. Mine has no working LED at all.Digital camera Review: Small and Light
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a really small unit. Its so small and light that i forget that i have it some times. Like someone else said, I was also surprised at how small it was. The case and polished black and really sleek looking. My package didnt come with a lanyard tho, so i cant comment on that. It does transfer slightly slower than i would have expected.Digital camera Review: Solution to my problem!
Summary: 5 Stars
This flash drive was just what I needed! I was able to put all my information onto one drive, instead of constantly switching between my smaller drives. The Plug and Play means it works with all my machines, whether I am on my work desktop, the laptop, or my home PC. I was looking for a flash drive with a lot of space but that wouldn't cost me an arm and a leg. This drive is small, efficient, and has plenty of room on it, for a fraction of the cost the electronics store wanted! Why pay more when you can get it all for less?!Digital camera Review: Speedy little flash drive
Summary: 4 Stars
PROS: small, fast
CONS: shiny plastic easily scratched, cap can be lost, no hole for keychain
