The first Transcend product that reached my hands many years ago was nothing else but a USB Flash drive and by some unknown means I really liked the name; I still do nowadays when Transcend released the JetFlash V85 AntiVirus USB Flash Drive, sporting the forces of Trend Micro antivirus software.

Transcend is known for its devotion in providing its users with the best possible storage convenience and protection, thus now the JetFlash V85 will also protect against viruses, not only data damage. With this neat combination of Transcend hardware and impressive Trend Micro software, users of the JetFlash can share, store and manage valuable data with the peace of mind and more comfortably than before, minding no viruses whatsoever.

The Trend Micro USB Security is one unique software program that was specially developed for malicious content protection in files transferred to USB flash drives. With an easy-to-use interface and simple one-step activation operability, Trend Micro USB Security offers protection to the JetFlash V85 from the very first moment you plug it in your computer. Whenever the software finds a threat, it will instantly alert the user and move all of the infected files to a hidden quarantine folder.

Even more, when connected with an Internet connection enabled computer, the Trend Micro USB Security will automatically download its latest security updates. Thanks to this, the JetFlash V85 can be used in any PC without worrying that malign data will take a ride while you transfer files.

Not only content-safe, but also very elegant, the JetFlash V85 will smoothly fit your lifestyle, either contrasting or blending with its neat polished all-metal casing, as well as keeping a minimalistic architecture at the same time. Coming with a stylish silver metal carrying chain, it also keeps a little bit of industrial design.

The highest price for this is about $34.50 for the 8GB version. I think that's low enough for what Transcend offers with the V85.
