| Toshiba 512MB TransMemory |
|
With parts that don't fit well and a chassis made from cheap-feeling plastic, there doesn't seem to be much for us to praise even on first touch. Even its simple, elegant design which looked great under the packaging could not distract us from the feeling that Toshiba was short-changing us when it came to build quality. It was little different in the area of read and write performance. The 512MB TransMemory was consistently much slower than its contemporaries. It was also significantly slower than the Seagate 5GB Pocket Hard Drive in reading small files and writing large files. Its only saving grace is probably the accessories that came with it. Toshiba provided a very nice manual in addition to a software CD, lanyard, a USB extension cable and even two index labels! Probably the most complete pack of accessories that we have ever seen included in any USB flash memory drive kit. However, with such lacklustre performance and poor build quality, we cannot recommend this flash memory drive to anyone but hardcore fans of Toshiba products.

* Our New Review System
ARP is committed to developing new ways to improve your experience with us. As part of our continuous efforts to improve the value of our reviews to you, we are implementing a new review system.
This new review system is designed to allow you to quickly receive information on the latest hardware. This new system also allows you to quickly get the gist of the review without reading through it. This can be very useful, especially in situations where you need to make a quick purchase decision.
In this new system, we start with a Product Overview whenever a company sends us a press release about their latest product. We shift through extraneous PR-talk to create a straightforward summary of the product's features as well as specifications. This allows you to quickly find out all the pertinent details about the product, without reading through official press releases.
When we receive the product for review, we will quickly take photos of it and create a Pictorial Review. The purpose of a pictorial review is to allow you, the reader, to quickly examine the product visually. It may help you make better purchase decisions, especially if you cannot wait for the full review.
After thorough testing, we will post a Comprehensive Review of the product. This adds on to the pictorial review with comprehensive test results and our final conclusion on the product.
But no matter whether you are reading a Pictorial Review or a Comprehensive Review, you can always read the summary of the review as well as examine the product's specifications right on the first page. In all our new reviews, we will maintain the first page as a Product Overview page. If the product is listed in PriceGrabber, you can also check out the lowest price online.
We hope this new review system will make your experience a lot more enjoyable and informative!
