Transcend 32GB JetFlash 820 USB 3.0 Flash Drive (TS32GJF820G)

I recently purchased a June 2012 13" Macbook Pro. The only 2 USB ports are rather close together. Most of the other USB drives I own will not fit if there is something plugged into the other USB port. Not the issue with these Transcend JetFlash drives. Tried testing the speed of this and not sure if I know what I'm doing but here are some of the readings. Write Speed around 25 MB/s and read speed around 115 megabits. Don't know if that is fast or not as I kind of really don't care. I just wanted to find one that wouldn't block the other USB port while using it and that it does well. One concern that I have though is when left plugged in it can get mildly warm for some reason.

The device is fully functional, and the data rates have been perfectly fine (16GB flash drives don't really demand excellence here). The color is great, and not too flashy. It's a muted gold.My real complaints are in the form of the drive. It's not simple to keep track of, because the loop is solely meant for a keyring, but the real issue is the cap. It doesn't clip on the back. Why? It sucks having to set it down on a nearby surface and hope I remember it. I don't have a good short-term memory. If the cap could attach to the back of it, I'd be a lot happier with the product. As it is, it's a frequent issue for me. If that doesn't sound like a hassle to you, I recommend it wholeheartedly. It really does look nice.

Bought this item about a week ago. I have to admit, the looks drew me. Who doesn't want a flash drive that looks gold plated? Anyone thinking of buying it should be aware it is very small. Smaller than I was expecting. This may work well for people with computers where the USB connectors are very close together, however for me, I knew it was just a matter of time before it got lost. Also the write time was rather slow. I had ordered another Transcend USB drive that was cheaper along with this one and the write speed on that one was twice what it was on this. I ended up returning this one and buying another of the faster model.

I can't say this seems faster than any other USB drive I ever used, but it works fine. When I had the flash drive and my keyboard wireless transmitter plugged into neighboring USB ports, the keyboard/mouse stopped working due to the USB 3.0 interference, so I had to move the keyboard transmitter. (That's true for all USB 3.0 devices, just saying...)

A nice flashdrive that serves its purpose, it does whatever I need it to do. The only problem I have with it is trying on the keychain, you'll need a small keyring to put it on, and therefore, if you try to put it on, you might scratch the top. Nevertheless, I love the design of this flashdrive.

Good values and small

I used it for a boot copy of Windows.

Works good, up-load speeds are good, and looks great. It feels more durable then many plastic ones and I wouldn't be to scared of it breaking if I put it on my on my key chain. I used it to put wedding films on and with the right presentation the gold color gives the look I was going for and impresses the costumer when they open it.

Works well most of the time, but if I knock it slightly the computer sometimes decides that it's no longer connected. Perhaps the connection could be a bit tighter, but it may be the USB socket on my computer that's to blame. The lid on the actual flash drive is good and tight so at least that's unlikely to get lost - while it's on anyway!A compact drive, attractive for those who care about such things, but functionality is more important to me, and apart from the slightly loose connection that is fine.

Good, but this new version of the old v85 is no longer all metal. the lid is "metallic" plastic. but lid fits well. half the weight of the old one. Ended up ordering another V85 for critical work even though this one is faster. i simply loved the all metal V85.

Nice enough flash drive - I admit I purchased because I wanted all gold laptop accessories ;)A tad disappointed it wasn't made of metal - but it still seems durable and the cap is secure.

I use these as wedding USB drives rather than getting bespoke ones. Nice quality and reliable.

Excellent
