What device do you have??
Do you by chance have a Toshiba USB thumb drive plugged in to your USB port?
I've got an SP3 I5 256.
No, I don't have anything plugged in, but I did note all those Toshiba products when I searched for it!
Since I did a clean reinstall last week I'm pretty sure that the only storage I've attached at all was a (Sandisk) microSD card -which is now out.
I could see a sort of logic if it were related to say storing app data on microSD, but I've checked and inserting other USB sticks doesn't trigger extra entries.
Screenshot of the settings page attached - does nobody else have anything under the Trusted Devices (Xbox etc) area in here?

I searched the library of the ACM - Association for Computing Machinery - at ACM.ORG and found no references to Transmemory.
Similarly at IEEE.ORG - Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers - there were no direct hits although there was one loose reference in an article about Transactional Memory where Trans was found near Memory.
Possibilities are:
1. Typo or misunderstanding by the tech writer of a term used by an engineer. Sometimes the knowledgeable person doesn't thoroughly proofread or fact check written documentation. There was a famously documented feature of a MS technology that was published which was quite wrong. Engineering eventually corrected the mistake after said documentation was quietly pulled they claimed they never said it and it was never written. Stuff happens.
2. Microsoft has invented a new technology for which no documentation exists (nothing in Technet or MSDN) probably because the patent is pending
although nothing shows up in a search of the USPTO database except the TradeMark filing by Toshiba for a USB stick.
3. Other, you decide.

No, the only sdcard that had been in there was unlabelled, and I did have a look at its volume details.
However, if you have a labelled USB store showing up there, it's a good sign that's the sort of thing it's about.
Good enough to satisfy me to ignore the setting.
Thanks for the input.
