Lexar Media 512 MB JumpDrive Sport Portable USB 2.0 Drive (PC/Mac)

Average rating: Stars

The perfect match between design and performance.

This product, put simply, is just excellent. It combines the best portable drive design I have seen so far in such products, with an outstanding, dependable performance.
The 512MB, compact-sized drive measures 2 1/2" with the protective cap off and 3 1/2" with it on. It's made of hard, durable plastic, and has a bright green LED on its top side to indicate when files are being read or written.
The cap is molded from thick, but flexible, black rubber, and fits tightly not only over the USB port, but all around the drive as well, both preventing its accidental detachment and protecting the drive from any impact to its sides. Moreover, it conforms to the USB port so snuggly that even liquids won't get through. And its unique design incorporates a keychain loop that allows you to remove the drive for use, without having to move the cap from its usual hanging place.
I have already purchased 4 of these drives for myself, and I use them all daily on several computers - laptops and desktops - with different configurations, and with different types of files: documents, audio, video, graphics, programs. Not a single problem so far.
Furthermore, this product works perfectly with USB 1.x and 2.x, and its operating speed is ultra fast, whether you are transferring files, creating backups or even writing directly on a file in the drive. It also works under various Windows Operating Systems: 98, 98SE, ME, 2000, NT, and XP, although for 98 and 98SE you must first download and install the free, small driver file from the Lexar Media web page.
I have recommended this product to friends and family more times than I can recall, and have yet to receive any negative feedback or complaints from anyone.
My one discontent with this product is that it's only manufactured in one color scheme: red and black body, and green LED, but its nifty design and its outstanding performance for over 9 months now - and still counting - more than make up for this marketing oversight.
Overall, this is a superior product for storing and moving your information in a fast, reliable, and practical way. You won't be disappointed.

It truly "Jumps"

I was delightfully surprised the first time I used the Lexar Jump drive. I wanted to transfer some files from my desktop to the Dell Latitude Notebook We just purchased on E-Bay. I approached using it with typical fear of the unknown. I was happily pleased with what it did. It took an entire large Quicken file from my Desktop Dell and handily copied the entire file to our notebook. What a Machine!

The Ultimate Accessory to your JumpDrive

I just ordered the Lexar 512 MB Jumpdrive, and I'm giving it 5 stars because I've never had anything but good results with flash based Lexar or Panasonic media, >PLUS<, I wanted the opportinity to recommend a crucial, cheap accessory for flash drive users -- and ANYONE who has tried to plug ANYTHING into the front USB ports on a Dell. The must-have accessory is a six inch USB 2.0 Male-Female extension cable. It fits nicely in your pocket and simplifies connecting any USB device to a crowded or oddly placed USB port. It works much the way those short extension cords handle plugging multiple PC power blocks in power strips without sacrificing outlets. Not surprisingly, you can buy these mini-USB extension cables at Cyberguys.com (home of the very same Powerstrip Liberators). Given the opportunity, you'll regret not buying more than one (trust me). MOREOVER, there is no reason at all why Amazon.com couldn't not sell these mini-USB extension cables as well, AND, as a public service, offer them as a recommended, or available accessory, on any page that sells USB devices or hubs. Especially, if you depend on USB flash drives, you never know when you'll need to plug your beloved FD into a hard to reach USB port. With one of these 6 inch cables -- not to worry. Just pull it out of you purse, knapsack, or pocket and plug it in with justified smugness. You'll start, or add to, your reputation as a PC MacGiver.
