Huge capacity for such a small USB (it’s smaller than I thought, which is great). It comes with a lanyard that can be unattached on the USB-end, which can be convenient. I haven’t used the features with a CD that came along with it, so no comment on that. The only negative side of it, I think it takes longer time to save files than my old USB.

Transcend flash memory sure is becoming more common these days. This is a nice USB stick, somehow smaller in your hand than the pictures show. The small hole for attaching a ring or lanyard is very small but well designed into the body.
As far as the Jetflash software is concerned I have simply reformatted this guy and I am not using it. It wasn’t terrible, but I have no need for it. I am not a fan of Sandisk’s U3 software and this stuff isn’t changing my mind (actually has less in terms of features). Once again, it worked ok, I tested it once just out of curiousity. But ultimately, I’ll stick to copying and pasting files to this guy and using a seperate software for encryption.
As far as the price, you really can’t argue with this. The value is great for the capacity. While this guy is slow, all my USB sticks are slow. Till something faster comes out, it’s a good idea to just get the biggest drive you can.
This guy has one of those caps that is easily lost if you’re not careful. The SanDisk 4 GB Cruzer Micro USB Flash Drive with U3 (SDCZ6-4096-A11) has the advantage of the retractable USB connector so you never have to worry about the cap. It does run about 10 bucks more though.
As far as reputation, Transcend still has a track record to establish. So far so good.
Good luck with your new memory stick.
Enjoy.

Like another customer this product died after a little over a month. 1.5 gbs of data are now gone. I was using it on a daily basis at work, and for no apparent reason, one morning when I plugged it into my PC, it just would not work. I have tried it on other PCs & laptops, and am able to use the ports with other flash drives, so it is definitely a problem with the drive. For the month it was working, I absolutely loved it, it is extremely fast. I don’t know how frequently those that have given this drive great reviews were using it, but this is the first drive I have ever had that has completely failed to respond, and as I said, I was using it for multiple hours daily.

When I first got the item I thought the materials used and overall feel were “cheap”, but for around $10 I wasn’t complaining. But then, less than a week after getting it, it stopped working. Two different PC’s and my PS3 would not recognize anything on the drive. Windows would detect the USB device when connected but would not recognize anything in the device so I couldn’t even try to a format. $10 should have bought me more than a 1 week worth of use.

Complete junk… Lost 3.6 gigs of data… Transcend website has recovery tool, but they warn you to backup your data as the tool reformats the drive…. What kind of recovery tool is that???? The idea is to recover the lost data, but these highschool dropout engineers at Transcend want to reformat my drive…. 1st and LAST transcend product I ever buy!!!!
