Review on Transcend 64GB JetFlash 790 USB 3.0 πŸ” Flash Drive: Efficient Data Storage and Fast Transfer Speeds by Chad Boho

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Will technology ever work?

As with many USB sticks I've bought in the past and used on multiple computers, halfway through their size Windows doesn't seem to recognize it. Windows only formats this thing to 4GB. But when I use Etcher to burn ISO images, Etcher always sees it as a 64GB hard drive with 63GB free to use and burns my ISO images with no problem. until the drive died after about 20 uses. Most of the time he was in a drawer in my house with air conditioning and heating so the range is 20 to 25 meters and no other real reason for his quick death. I have never left it in the car or walked around with it in my bag and experienced physical stress while driving. This thing never left the house, but now it's dead and being put in a box along with a bunch of others that appear to have a read/write lifespan of two dozen cycles. God help us understand why SSDs work so well, but USB drives suck, as do many microSD cards. Light fires, stop destroying them too.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Hard to remember, but it was
