Transcend's latest JetFlash drives: the 220 with fingerprint scanning, the V35 without
Sure, they're just USB flash drives but Transcend has a knack with NAND stylings unmatched by most manufacturers. The JetFlash 220 (top) brings fingerprint scanning and 256-bit AES encryption to the mix with a max capacity of 8GB for ¥17,800 (about $149). Otherwise, there's the JetFlash V35 offering the same max capacity in Grimace-grape only without all that pesky security for ¥16,800 or right around $141. Both available in Japan in August and presumably, the rest of world shortly thereafter. [Via Impress] Read -- JetFlash 220 Read -- JetFlash V35
Transcend's JetFlash T2K USB drives are light -- duh
Transcend is bustin' a play at Sony's Microvault line-up of tiny USB flash drives. As such, they want you to know that their new JetFlash T2K drive weighs just 2-grams. Not bad, but still 33% heavier than Sony's little 1.5-gram whisps of colorful NAND. Still, just like the rest, it is small, damn small. So small that you'll be happy to strap on a lanyard to safeguard the ¥3,980 ($33) / ¥6,980 ($58) / ¥10,800 ($89) you just dropped on the 1GB / 2GB / 4GB models, respectively. Kind of defeats the whole "lightweight" sales pitch, eh? Add an RFID locator tag and give us a call, mkay?Update: Thanks Sam K for pointing out in the comments that Transcend's US store sells the 1GB / 2GB / 4GB models for $15.90 / $25.10 / $48.30 (pre-tax), respectively.[Via Impress]
Transcend's 16GB JetFlash USB flash drive
In addition to that 4GB SDHC card announced earlier, Transcend is also slipping us a big ol' USB flash drive today. Their 16GB JetFlash drive shares the stylings of their 8-gigger but doubles the capacity and increases read/write times to an impressive 25/20MB/s. Yeah, as usual, Transcend is not the first to reach 16GB, but at least they've arrived. Well almost anyway, 'cause without a ship date or knowing if this drive will sneak in for under a grand we just don't know how to feel right about now. Why you gotta treat us that way Transcend, why?[Via Impress]
