If USB drives weren't so popular, companies wouldn't keep releasing bigger and bigger ones. I am glad they keep getting bigger and more popular. In addition to growing in capacity, USB flash drives are becoming more and more affordable. You can easily get a 1GB drive for less than $70. I remember just a while back when they were triple that.

Today, drives larger than 1GB are quite common. Some companies even have 4GB drives! For most people though, 1GB is more than enough for carrying around school or work documents. A couple of current trends in the USB drive market are making the drives physically smaller and making them easier to use (mostly by coming up with alternatives to the caps you see on most flash drives). Many people must have lost their drive caps in order for several companies to have developed solutions to this problem. One such company is Transcend, which released its JetFlash 110 series recently.

As you can see in the animation above, the USB connector actually slides into the drive's casing when not in use. This way you never have to worry about a cap. In this review, I'll be taking a look at the 1GB version of this drive. If you're interested in a portable storage solution like this, be sure to keep reading to see how much I like the Transcend JetFlash 110 1GB USB 2.0 Drive and to see how well it performs.
