Once again Transcend hasn't let me down.  I've been a big SanDisk fan all my life but after having a couple issues on recent cards from them, I've tried Transcend and they've been great.  This is one of the middle of the road units, and I bought the super fast one as well.  Both worked perfectly out of the box and I'm extremely happy with it.

It has been three weeks. Everything is good. It turned my five year old laptop into a new computer. Start super fast. Open programs super fast.
1. The SSD and the Transcend SSD Scope software work perfectly with the latest Windows 8.1.
2. If your computer is old, you need to check the BIOS to enable SATA interface. Older computers might use the IDE compatible mode, which will significantly reduce read/write speed.
3. I think Transcend adopted a very good strategy of increasing the read speed and slightly decreasing the write speed. Our computers always read much much more stuff than writing stuff.
4. Inside the SSD, it is Micron MLC NAND (aka Crucial) and Silicon Motion controller (this controller is inside many good SSD products). So, there is no reason to think the relatively new Transcend products are not verified by a large number of consumers.
As many other reviewers had said, go and grab one Transcend SSD, you will be amazed by the performance of your old computer.

First, for any of you looking at the Schwinn Journey models at Sports Authority, these are the same models (430=Journey 4.0, they share the same manual).
Secondly, for anyone concerned about not having enough ceiling height based on how Schwinn tells you to measure, it's not as much as they imply (they recommend taking the maximum height of the top pedal, plus your height -- which is not correct since you only stand with a straight leg on the LOWER pedal when working out).  I have 7'6" ceilings, am 5'11" tall, and I still easily have 5-6" above my head when working out.
Assembly:  Took longer than the directions said it would.  Directions are OK, but not greatone example is the absence of references within the images to match a number or letter in the directions, which would greatly help.  Had to use a rubber mallet to get the lower leg rails on the pedal postswas quite the challenge.  All in all everything worked, but it wasn't without challenge.
Functionality:  Works just like I expected (tried the Journey in the store)smooth operation and natural pedal progression (something you won't find on many cheap ellipticals, and I'm an elliptical snob when it comes to natural motion!).  Pedal angle gets a little off at high inclines, but nothing too major.  Like many workout machines, the heart rate monitor on the grips is iffyworks sometimes but not always.  Oh, and last thingthe electronic display on this model is not backlit, so if you work out in a dark room you might want the upgraded model (470 I believe) to get the backlight, additional user profiles, and power inclineotherwise it's the same machine.

Transcend is a good name brand. I was tempted by low prices on off brands, but read about how scum bags flash lower capacity chips to make them look like they hold 64GB, when they are much less (like 2-4GB). Beware of cheap SD cards on the net.

I picked this up at the same time as their CF Reader. I primarily shoot events and use my 5D MKIII in continuous mode more than 50% of the time. This card has not failed to keep up at all. My old Transcend would stop after about 10 seconds and I'd have to wait for the buffer to clear before I could keep shooting. I haven't seen that happen yet with this card. Maybe if you were to shoot continuous until the card filled up haha! Have had it about three months now with no issues. Have already recommended these to the others in my photo walk, since the price is really great for the performance.

It is a 5 Stars for now, since the JetDrive is working fine.  But I am writing this because of the initial booting of this hard drive was a disaster.  The installation went seamless, after I discovered that the directions are incorrect.  To get to the Disk Utility you need to use the Command-R keys, not the option key went restarting.

When I first started the Macbook with the Transcend JetDrive, it booted quickly and Safari opened. Then it quickly went dead.  I rebooted and the MacBooks fans started roaring at top speed and then again when dead.  I rebooted a couple of more times, and it never even when though the booting procedure before going dead.  So my heart sank and felt like I had just wasted $500 and maybe more if my Macbook was been destroyed in the process.
I decided to trying rebooting but with the old ssd drive which I had installed in the Transcend external drive casing.  The Macbook booted up fine from the old drive.  So at that point I was about ready to uninstall the Transcend card and install the old card.  But ever hopeful I tried rebooting again with the Transcend and to my utter surprise, it booted up fine.  It is now two days later and the Transcend has operated perfectly.  I am getting great speeds on both the Transcend and the old ssd drive now installed in the Transcend casing.

I am writing this because others might have similar experience.  Why did the Transcend fail to work initially and then started working.  I have no idea.  The only thing I did after the initial failures of the Transcend to stay booted was the rebooting with the old ssd card from the USB drive.  But it might be worth a try should you have problems like I did.

I am hoping my luck continues with the Transcend. It really nice to have the extra hard drive space with such speed as well.

I've used this Flash Drive for about a year and really enjoy it! For the price offered it definitely worth the money!
It's not replacement for hard drive (I was trying to run virtual machines from it, which is not possible, as I discovered-- too slow simultaneous write/read performance), but for storing files and backing-up data this is what you are looking for!
I love Transcend for their quality and was never disappointed with them!

Transcend docs state this works with the macbookair4.2. It does NOT work with ours. Fails to format by just hanging. Fails to recognize after format attempt. Used the Terminal methods... Fail. Used the Transcend toolkit... Fail. Hook it up to a PC and it works just fine. Cleared it with PC. Then the macbook would see it and try to format it again. Just hangs for hours without completing any of the tasks. Also, hooked up to a mac and the indicator led is GREEN. Hooked to a PC and it is BLUE. Nowhere in any docs is this explained. Also, there is NO customer support channel available for Transcend. Since it works fine on the PC, we determined it would most likely be a compatibility issue so we are just returning it.
FYI this issues was on the MackbookAIR4.2 running MacOS High Sierra 10.13.4. Also, the instruction screens both in the manual AND downloaded PDFs do not match the actual Macbook screens. Most likely outdated material.

I've a couple Sandisk CF's cards and I've nothing but reliable experience with them.  I also have a few Transcend SD's for my point-and-shoot which have never failed me.  I thought I'd give this Transcend CF a try.  It's only been a few days and so far so good.  It's holding up well to my expectations. I'll make sure to update in the next weeks.

I have been a IT/Admin for 20 years now. I've used a lot of UPS's in my career. Cyberpower just showed up one day and I thought I'd buy one and give it a try. I have yet to return any of them. As a matter of fact I haven't had a single failure with them either. I'm not sure what kind of magic they're using on these things but I like it. I use to use APC but they have all given out over time. Not one of the Cyberpower units has. These are simply more cost effective in both the short and long run.

I have had several different Palm's over the past couple of years (since the Palm Pro) and have observed some things about it as my life has changed.  First, it really is a great little device.  It is easy to use and  is a great personal information manager.  The variety of third party  software greatly extends it capability -- I even use my Palm as a backup  alarm clock when I am travelling.
When it comes to lifestyle integration  the Palm really pays off if you are on the move or don't have a computer  readily available.  If you have easy access to a computer at work and home  it isn't as valuable.  The Palm can also be a problem if you are moving  between several computers running different operating systems.  For  example, I use both Linux and Windows at home and at work.  Palm  integration does exist with Linux, but I've found it just isn't worth the  trouble to keep everything updated.  Also, since I spend so much time near  computers I don't have the incentive to keep my Palm up to date.
So, be  sure to consider your lifestyle before purchasing one of these.  If you are  unsure about it the IIe (or one of Handspring devices) is probably a good  choice since they are pretty cheap.  I spent close to $400 on some of my  Palms and don't feel they were worth that much.
A couple of words of  advice if you decide to make the investment: - If you are a Windows user,  consider investing in one of the third-party syncronization packages.  They  make syncing with products such as Outlook a breeze and are worth every  dime. - Pick up a an extra pack of styli with your order.  You get a couple  with the Palm but sooner or later you will loose them and it's nice to have  extras immediately available.

My first Transcend brand card was a 32gb Class 10 Wi-Fi SD card. I've been so pleased not only with the card but with the support from Transcend on updating its firmware and response to queries about their Android app used  to sync my photos from my camera to my Android devices.
Because of the above I decided to give this one a shot for my Note8 tablet. I almost bought a different brand that was a few bucks cheaper but decided to go Transcend again. I'm glad I did.
 I'm very satisfied with how fast it moves media both onto and off of my tablet. I synced my camera to my Note8 right after inserting the card and had 841 photos (5MB average file size) from the camera onto the card in under 5 minutes. I then wrote them onto a flash drive, using an otg cable, just to try it out. Not as fast to transfer off but still very fast and I believe the flash drive was the bottleneck more than anything.

We have used this for more than a year. It's a great piece of hardware. Way better than the competition. We use it with Google Voice and it's very good.

UPDATE: We've used it for more than 2 years and it's going strong. Really robust piece of hardware. // May 2018

Some background, I currently work in an IT department for an aerospace firm in southern California.  One of my primary duties is to ensure all employees have what they need to execute their jobs in terms of technical hardware.  The standard laptops that we issue to employees only have between 256 GB and 512 GB of disk space.  There are often times, especially with personnel who travel, that the need to have a redundant backup for their data in the event that they cannot access company drives is required or they simply need more storage externally.  Ive seen my fair share of external drives that have been put through the wringer and valuable data was lost as a result.

This particular Transcend 1TB drive seems to serve this need in terms of space, durability, and cost.  As stated in the product description, there are 3 layers of protection for the hard drive.  Ive had a few employees who gave me their Transcend external drives with severe external damage where I thought the data was lost.  Im talking about the silicone skins being ripped and cracked cases.  I was able to transfer their data to a new Transcend 1 TB external drive and they were on their way.  The only issue is that a small amount of laptops will not recognize the Transcend drive.  The Transcend drive will often need to be removed and plugged back in a few times for the laptop to recognize the drive.

The packaging contains the 1 TB Transcend drive and a single USB cable that will serve as the data transfer and power for the drive.

Overall, I would recommend and continue to purchase this drive in the immediate future.

I've been using TurboTax for at least 5 years now, and I think it's pretty solid program. It's very intuitive and easy to use, and the online community surrounding it has helped me more than a few times with my tax questions. This year my taxes were a bit more complicated than they usually are, but TT confidently guided me through and it ended up being easy as pie. As far as the whole debacle about removing some key features from the deluxe version and forcing an upgrade, I didn't buy this until after all that happened and Intuit announced they'd upgrade folks (that needed the existing features) to the next level up for free. I went that route and got the upgrade and once again this year my taxes went smoothly.

dear amazon/transcend
  Last fall I purcased a total of 4 Transcend flash drives from you.so far only one has survived.
In case you are wondering where I am now. Looking elsewhere for things to add to my intelligence
department. The 64 gig flash drives have quit. I returned the first one because it quit within 5
days of existence. This past week the 3rd one gave up. Since the "Amazon" warranty is up I have
tried to contact Transcend to no avail. Their web site states "if you get this far you know how to
reach us" Tell that to your customers!

  You ask what should other customers do when considering this item? Tell them to stick with SAN-
DISK. I've had their flash drives for at least 4 years,now. After your 30 day warranty is up it's a foolish
person who trusts Transcend for ANYTHING.

In case you are wondering the order number for the LAST 2 is 111-2042414-8751418  11/16/12

I will keep trying with Transcend because they  boast a lifetime warranty. Just how long is their
lifetime? Are they still in  business?
