Despite the fact that cloud storage is already everywhere, the amount of memory in smartphones is growing day by day, and external HDDs and SSDs are becoming more affordable, the good old flash drive remains one of the most popular ways to share information. It is inexpensive, does not take up space, and data storage volumes can reach an impressive 256 GB. Many don't need more. Plus, in recent years, many manufacturers have begun to produce combo flash drives with the ability to connect to both regular USB and the newfangled USB-C. The JetFlash 890 model from Transcend that came to us for testing turned out to be such an option.

Convenient non-removable cap

Instead of an annoying slider that tends to break, JetFlash 890 has the simplest structure: on the one hand, the main USB A connector, on the other, USB-C, one of them is closed with a protective cap. According to the manufacturer's logic, the required connector is used to connect to a computer or smartphone, while the unnecessary one is covered with a cap at this time. The case itself looks as simple and unpretentious as possible, it is primarily a useful device, not a fashion accessory. The metal base gives hope that she will live longer. According to the manufacturer, the JetFlash 890 case is also not afraid of splashes and dust.

Transcend Elite Utility Package

But in terms of speed, it is not surprising, but it does not disappoint either: in the CrystalDiskMark benchmark, when copying a 4 GB file, we ran into 94 MB / s when reading. When writing the same file, the speedometer slightly exceeded 30 MB / s. As a result, we have a rather interesting and balanced product with an adequate price tag and interesting functionality. Oh yeah, Transcend wouldn't be itself if it didn't include a bundle of useful Transcend Elite and RecoveRx software for backing up, restoring and encrypting data on computers and mobile devices.
