Summary: it works
Review: I use this device with memory stick from my Sony digital camera. It works as advertised -- no hassels, nothing. I didn't give it 5-star for two reasons:
1) the plastic casing is cheap and fragile
2) the size of the casing make it difficult to plug into some USB ports if there is another port (USB, mouse, keyboard, whatever) near by.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Works with no problem
Review: I've had it for about 6 months...no problems at all, other than the fact that the cap broke because it's made of cheap plastic (scotch tape is holding it together). It's a bit bulky, and you can't plug in another USB device when it's plugged in, but no reason not to buy it. No regrets.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: VERY Durable! Good Buy!
Review: If you're like me, and you have a PDA and/or Digital camera that uses securedigital cards, you can't live without this thing!

HotSyncing music and movies with Palm software can literally take HOURS if you do it with your palm. However, if you build up your MP3 playlist or add a movie to your SD card using this little drive, it goes SO FAST!

With this I am able to bypass my digital camera's software, my palm's software and get out the door faster.

The best use I have had for it so far - downloading something at school on a faster connection than I have home, then carrying it home with me that night. It's much faster (and cheaper) than burning CDs or emailing a file to yourself! It's small size is perfect for my purse, and even though it's light, it's very durable!

5 stars from me!

Summary: Only works 2 month
Review: On decembre 2003 I did buy this and now I doesnt work anymore.
In Lexar web site there is nothing about how to return it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Works for Memory Stick 256 Pro
Review: Pros: This jumpdrive works fine on "non-pro" memory sticks and my SanDisk memory stick 256MB Pro, too.
Cons: Fragile. Easy-to-lose cap.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Works great
Review: The Jumpdrive Trio works fine for me! I have had no problems with it except that I had to download the drivers for it before I could use it - but that is only a minor annoyance.
It has worked with any memory card that I have put in it and it works quickly and error-free. But, best of all, it reads (ans writes to) my SD and MMC cards easily and at a lower prices than other card readers. Recommended.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Passes the wash test
Review: The plastic cover for the USB connector never stayed put and I lost it after the first week. That being said, I've been toting the Jumpdrive Trio around in my pocket and in my backpack for over a year (without the plastic cover) and it hasn't broke yet. It's even been washed once because I forgot to take it out of my pocket. I let it sit in a sunny window for a day and both the drive and my 256 mb Lexar (Sony compatiible) Memory Stick still work to this day.

The Jumpdrive Trio is a little larger than standard USB "thumb" drives with built-in memory, but this has rarely been an issue for me. If your computer is equipped with front USB ports than this is not a problem.

Overall, this is a great product for the price especially if you have other devices (PDA, Digital Camera, etc) that already use SD, MMC, or Memory Stick media.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Faster Than Your Digital Camera
Review: This drive operates with USB 2.0 which means it's probably faster than your camera. USB 2.0 is 40 times faster than USB 1.1! When I have a full memory card I will slap it into the Lexar Media Jumpdrive and plug it into my computer to download my pictures even faster. This device also comes in handy as a second docking station for at work or a friends house.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Works great, but a bit big.
Review: This product works great. I stuck an old 8mb Memory Stick into it and it worked right away. My Windows XP laptop recognized it within seconds, and it also worked on another XP machine I tried it on. I gave it for stars because:

PROS:
*It works great at what it's supposed to do.
*Its about 3 times faster than a Zip disk (250MB USB).
*As soon as I get more money, I can easily upgrade its storage capacity, which is impossible with most USB Thumb drives.

CONS:
*It is made of relatively flimsy plastic, and the cover for the memory stick is always coming out when you try to unplug it.
*It is about twice the size of my Lexar Media 256MB Jump drive, because it has to have space for the memory that you put in. This large size can be a problem if there are things plugged in surrounding ports, but a cable is included that solves this problem.

All in all, this device is a good solution for somebody who wants a thumb drive, but cannot afford the expensive, high capacity ones. You can use a memory stick/card from an old digital camera, and purchase more memory at a later date.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fast reliable and does what its supposed to do.
Review: Transfers files fast and reliable. for the price I think its worth it. size is a little bigger than a normal memory usb but also consider that this item can hold sd cards and Memory sticks. Trasnfered from a lexar 1GB SD card 750MB in 5 minutes.
