Orange California, USA, January 13, 2003/Various Agencies-About a year ago Transcend Information Inc. (Transcend) introduced the Transcend USB Flash Drive to customers looking for a convenient, reliable alternative to existing devices for the storage and transfer of digital data. With its tiny size, relatively large storage capacity, and USB interface, the Transcend USB Flash Drive quickly became an indispensable tool for synchronizing vital digital data across school, work, or home computers. Continuing to improve on this great concept, Transcend developed JetFlash with enhanced security features and increased capacity availability of up to 1GB. Today, Transcend releases the new, updated, JetFlashA. Transcend has given JetFlashA a sleek new look, faster data transfer speeds, the ability to be partitioned, and doubled the available capacity on a single Transcend JetFlashA to 2GB. Anyone who has ever tried to compress his or her data down to a size that would fit on a floppy disk will instantly fall in love with JetFlashA from Transcend.

Transcend R&D has redesigned the JetFlash case on the JetFlashA to provide a hook and neck strap to keep it from getting lost in users' pockets, and made it easier to attach and remove the USB connector cover. While making these changes to esthetics, Transcend didn't forget performance. The new JetFlashA has a 10% faster data transfer rate than the original JetFlash; can be configured into 2 partitions with different capacities; includes security features; and, has the ability to be used as a USB-ZIP, USB-FDD, or USB-HDD boot-up device. In addition, Transcend continues to manufacture JetFlash and JetFlashA to the company's exacting standards, using only original, highest quality NAND-type Flash chips. The use of top quality chips and other components, as well as the strict quality control measures imposed during manufacturing, ensure that every JetFlash and JetFlashA will provide reliable, worry-free data storage and transfer. Transcend is so confident in the quality of these products, that a 2-year warranty is offered on every JetFlash and JetFlashA.
