Transcend Releases its New, Enormous Memory Capacity Flash Drive, the 8GB Ultra-Speed JetFlash(tm) 2A USB 2.0 Flash Drive

Transcend Information, Inc. (Transcend) is due to release its latest Ultra-Speed JetFlash(tm) 2A USB 2.0 Flash Drive later this month, which has an enormous memory capacity of 8GB. This release will make the Transcend 8GB Ultra-Speed JetFlash(tm) 2A the highest capacity true USB 2.0 Flash Drive available in the world.

There is more to the Ultra-Speed JetFlash(tm) 2A, than just its huge 8GB memory capacity. As the 8GB JetFlash(tm) 2A is a Transcend product, it is capable of lightning fast USB 2.0 transfer speeds. Transcend has focused on the research and development of higher performance Flash memory technology for many years, so it should come as no surprise that our true USB 2.0 8GB JetFlash(tm) 2A with its Dual-Channel technology is capable of outstanding read speeds of up to 21MB/sec and write speeds of up to 11MB/sec.

Maintaining the unmistakable, classic JetFlash(tm) appearance the Transcend Ultra-Speed 8GB JetFlash(tm) 2A comes with a hook and neck strap to keep it from getting lost and to make it easier to remove from USB ports. An LED indicates data transfer activity and a mechanical write-protection switch completes the 8GB JetFlash(tm) 2A’s physical features.

Inside, the Ultra-Speed 8GB JetFlash(tm) 2A comes bundled with some very useful software. The JetFlash(tm) 2A has Password Protection, PC-Lock (use the JetFlash(tm) 2A as a key to your computer), Boot-Up (makes your JetFlash(tm) 2A a bootable device) and Partition software. The JetFlash(tm) 2A supports Windows® 98SE/2000/Me/XP, Mac(tm) OS 9.0 or later, and Linux(tm) Kernel 2.4 or later and it will soon become an indispensable tool for all your data transfer and storage needs at school, work, or on home computers.
