Transcend Releases 'the Shiny Business' Hi-Speed USB Flash Drive

Transcend thought that it is not enough to release a stylish thumb drive targeting teens or fashion addicts, so it has also developed four other USB thumb drives which have been named JetFlash 160 and are dedicated to the business segment. The manufacturer stated that every piece of its JetFlash USB Flash Drive range has been produced using the so trendy next generation NAND-type Flash chips and quality components to ensure durability and performances.


The manufacturer followed other leaders' footprints and adopted the summer colors for its latest thumb drive line-up, every one of them being a mark for the storage capacity ranging from 512MB (Amber), all the way up to the increased capacity of 4GB coming in green.

The JetFlash 160 features almost the same functions as the previously released 168 series, except for the wide range of storage capacities. Therefore, you can plug it easily into the USB port on any desktop or notebook workstation and then transfer, store and share your data. I doubt that you can "store an entire operating system on your key chain", as the manufacturer says, but by using the 4 GB, you will get all you need on a little device that perfectly fits into your pocket.

Moreover, you will be able to use it in some 'undercover 007 assignment', as the USB flash drives feature a high speed USB 2.0 data transfer. So agents, hurry up, because some high tech fans might get them from under your nose!

But, as I told you before, the JetFlash 160 sports the same features as the Oriental line-up even when it comes down to software tools. Therefore, the series comes bundled with Password protection for your data, PC-Lock, so you can lock your computer when you are away from it, and a Boot-Up function that actually allows you to boot-up a computer using the little stick.
