Transcend Jetflash 110

Much like the SanDisk Cruzer Titanium, Transcend's Jetflash 110 features a retractable USB connector.

With an all-plastic case, the Jetflash 110 is fairly light, but unfortunately, due to its retracting mechanism, the drive rattles when shaken. SanDisk's Cruzer Titanium also rattled, but far less than the Jetflash 110.

If you can get over the rattling, the size of the drive is quite nice and the retracting USB connector is also a huge benefit of the drive. Much like OCZ's Rally drive, the Jetflash 110 uses a USBest controller, but the drive is only a single channel solution.

    Time to get a Lexar JumpDrive lightning. This may not be important to a lot of people, but a USB drive IMHO needs to have a loop for a keyring. It is the most convenient way to carry the thing and always have it with you no matter what. I guess this applies more to people living in the city and not needing a car and the big bulky car keys/remote that come with that.

    Speaking of, is there some reason the Lexar isn't on the RTPE? I mean, it did just win an Editor's Choice and all, so you'd hope it would be one of the drives listed in the newly-announced Flash Storage section ... :(

    Bummer, OCZ's dual channel USB stick didn't get in.

    Are USB drives able to be made Bootable?? I know that systems can recognize USB Floppy Drives, and boot from those, but I was wondering if you could take a USB Flash Drive and make it a bootable device.

    depending on the flash drive and the motherboard BIOS, yes you can do it.

    I've had the Memina Rocket for a couple months now....before they even announced it (thanks to NewEgg)....write spead defintly kinda bite with small files especially, but usually I put drivers and stuff there once, then read mutliple times....so its a good match for me.

    PQI's I got over a year ago, and completely made everyone jealous.... for once, mem were bragging theirs is smaller than someone else's. :D

    I still use a SanDisk Titanium.....only a 512mb module, but still works well.
