Transcend jetflash pen drives are long lasting and durable.
there are two versions that are available in this pen drive. USB 2.0 and USB 3.0.
The port will be in black. That is 2.0.
If the port is Blue, then it is 3.0.
If u have a 2.0 port and use 3.0 pen drive, then you only get the speed of 2.0.
All latest laptops have this port as additional. Check the color of the port.
You cannot trust transcend memory cards, but you can trust transcend pen drives. .
Transcend only gives online format tool, where you can format it online!
So what is so special about that, .
There is a storage corruption causing virus, Which erases a important data inside the controller of pen drive, so you cannot format, erase, or write into pen drive. Even linux partition tool will fail.
only transcend recovers this free for you.
So I recommend the pen drive.
Dont trust warranty on transcend. It is foreign company, and it would take a lot of money to send the item. You could buy a new pen drive in that cost.
