FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the JetFlash 790C?

The primary advantage is its USB Type-C connector combined with a retractable design, offering compatibility with modern devices and enhanced durability without a cap.

Is this drive compatible with my smartphone?

If your smartphone has a USB Type-C port, this drive is likely compatible for data transfer, provided your phone's operating system supports external USB storage.

What is the difference between USB 3.2 Gen 1 and USB 3.2 Gen 2?

USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1 or USB 3.0) offers a theoretical maximum speed of 5 Gbps, while USB 3.2 Gen 2 offers a theoretical maximum of 10 Gbps. The JetFlash 790C operates at Gen 1 speeds.

Can I use the Transcend Elite software with this drive?

Yes, the Transcend Elite data management software is available as a complimentary download from Transcend's official website and is compatible with both Windows and macOS.

How do I safely remove the flash drive?

On Windows, click the 'Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media' icon in the system tray and select the drive. On macOS, drag the drive icon from the desktop to the Trash or click the eject icon next to its name in Finder.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Transcend typically offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty on their JetFlash drives, but it's recommended to check the official Transcend website or product packaging for specific warranty details in your region.

Can I use this drive to boot an operating system?

While it's possible to create a bootable USB drive with certain operating systems and utilities, the JetFlash 790C is primarily designed for data storage and transfer, not as a primary boot device for regular OS installation.

Troubleshooting

Drive is not recognized by the computer

Ensure the USB Type-C connector is fully inserted. Try a different USB Type-C port or a different device to test functionality. Restart your computer. Check Device Manager (Windows) or System Information (macOS) for the drive.

Slow transfer speeds

Verify that the drive is connected to a USB 3.2 Gen 1 or faster port. Ensure the port is functioning correctly. Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Check for any software that might be interfering with USB performance.

Cannot write files to the drive

Check if the drive is full. Ensure you have write permissions for the destination folder. If the drive is formatted as read-only (e.g., FAT32 with a large file), reformat the drive to exFAT or NTFS (Windows) or HFS+ (macOS) if data backup is complete. Note: Reformatting erases all data.

Drive shows incorrect capacity

This can sometimes occur due to formatting or partition issues. Try reformatting the drive using a reliable tool. If the issue persists, the drive may be defective.
