Transcend JetFlash 780 64 GB (TS64GJF780)

The older modification of the Transcend JetFlash 780 drive carries 64 GB of memory on board, of which about 58.7 GB is available to the user. "Younger brothers" models are available in 8 GB, 16 GB and 32 GB versions.

Speed characteristics

Behind a nice external "wrapper" of a flash drive, to match the pattern of a chessboard, there are remarkable, as for a USB 3.0 connection interface, speed characteristics. The manufacturer claims that his brainchild can read files at a maximum speed of up to 210 MB / s, and write — up to 140 MB / s. And in fact, these figures are confirmed, only slightly falling short of the “out of the box” values. On average, the read speed is 180 MB / s, and data is written at a speed of 130 MB / s.

Practicality

Returning to the outer shell of the drive, I would like to note its practicality — fingerprints and traces of other contaminants will not be visible on the body of the flash drive. But one of the minuses is also associated with the “clothes” of the model — the removable cap covering the connector is not tied to the carrier body and can be easily lost. The second disadvantage concerns the heating of the case during prolonged intensive loads. However, it appears only when writing large data arrays, without adversely affecting the speed of reading files.

Free software

Directly on the box in which the drive is packed, there is a notice about providing access to free software: desktop applications Transcend Elite and RecoveRx. The former is designed for data backup, while the latter's capabilities include support for recovering deleted or corrupted files. Bottom line, the Transcend JetFlash 780 can be recommended to anyone who is looking for an unpretentious storage medium that combines high capacity and high data transfer speed.
