poor build quality!!! My Transcend 1 GB drive is not working. No signs of any physical damage at all. It was working yesterday. I bought this just 2 months ago. the serial number printed on it is not clear anymore, but we can see it. Will the dealer replace it?

LEXAR and SANDISK... these are the best... but they are available in just few cities in india...only in the metros... but then u can always opt for Transcend

Kalra Stationers - E-38/1, Main Market, Hauz Khas, New Delhi - 110016 Ph: 26564282

Elite Stationers - E-33, Hauz Khas Market - New Delhi 110016, Ph: 26858407.

I had a bit of trouble with my transcend v30 1 gb which i bought two months ago. It stopped working. But the shop, Kalra from which I got it has taken it from me saying that he will get it replaced. So i guess alls well that ends well. I saw a 4gb drive with him. Not sure on the price though. Do check out elite also if you drop by. Thats a good shop.

I bought JetFlash JFV30 1GB 6 months back and is working fine. Two weeks ago I unknowingly left the drive in my trousers while I washed it. It remained submerged in the Bucket full of water with surf detergent for 2 hours. Later when I searched for it I found it inside the wet trousers:-(. I hoped for the best an dried it under the fan. Luckily its working fine now.:smile:



BTW, the shopkeeper told me that the lifetime warranty is till the life-time of the product. :D

i guess i was just unlucky. I didn't drop it or put it in water or anything. There is no physical damage. It just stopped working all of a sudden. Still waiting with fingers crossed. Will check tomorrow if he has got it repaired.

I have bought a Transcend JetFlash JFV30 2GB drive yesterday...but it is too slow...My first 128MB Umax(USB v2.0) drive is much faster than this...BTW I am using it on a USB v1.0 port.

Is my drive faulty??? :-(

Please help...

Or JF 168 Kalpik? :)) I have that. It rocks! V30 is definitely slow. For mere 200 bucks more, I got a high speed one.

I dunno.. JF120 is 8MBps. V30 is 2MBps.. I got JF120 1GB for a friend for Rs 750. I myself have V30.. Bought 1 GB V30 for 1100 bucks :(

JF 120 and JF 168 have same speeds i.e. Read 10~12 MByte/s, Write 8 MByte/s

But ..
JF 120 is 15 gms, JF 168 is 10 gms :p
JF 120 is bigger (75mm x 25mm x 11mm) than JF 168 (61mm X 18.6mm X 9.8mm)

So basically only ornamental changes. I have JF 168. I bought for 1250. But only one shop in Lamington had it and fortunately that is the shop from where I purchase all hardware. :)) All the other shop showed me V30 only.

More info - JF 168 Specs, JF 120 Specs, V30 Specs

Getting a drive for Rs 2500??
