Summary: Great on XP, Nothing on 2000
Review: Got my drive at home and set it up on an XP Pro box. Worked like a charm...The security program ran in the background and was easy to set up. Took it to work and plugged it into my Win 2000 box and absolutely nothing but problems. The JDSecure 2.0 program would say it couldn't find a jump drive (tried direct and through a hub), when it did find it the only option it would give was to reformat it. Tech support sent me the JDSecure 3.0 beta to try, no help. Sent the drive back, they said they fixed the problem...Got the drive back, plugged it into the 2000 box and same problems. Now that I've wasted several days on something so simple I think I'll stick to FTP.

Summary: JD INSECURE 20
Review: I installed this on My win98SE PC@ home and it complained about some MFC42U.Dll file not able to use as a secure device. What I wound up doing was call Tech Support ony to have the tech tell me to Reformat the drive as FAT not Fat32 to remove the JDSECURE 20 software. Not a big loss, being my files are really only drivers and updates for both Mac and PC machines. But, why sell it as a Secure Device? It should be called JumpDrive Insecure.

Summary: Not the easiest or fastest to use
Review: I purchased this flash drive for its large storage capacity and security feature. Overall it works ok enough, but it doesn't stand out from the crowd of other flash drives and has a couple of features which I'm not crazy about:

1. It isn't Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0).
2. The security program requires that you install a program onto your computer before use. This is different from the Diskonkey drive which allows you to run the security program without installing it first.

The Diskonkey is much more expensive, though, so the Lexar is better for the budget-minded.

Summary: In a word...Perfect!
Review: I purchased this item about 2 months ago to carry around files when I travel. Since most of the info that I have is confidential, I put them on this device in the "secure" part of the jumpdrive, which is fully adjustable to use only a part or all of the device. I has always worked perfectly, is quick, and well worth the money. I could have saved some money by buying one with less capacity, but I'll just be able to use this one for many years!

Summary: Not really portable
Review: I purchased this Lexar USB drive because data protection feature. However, it is totally useless for me. In order to keep your data secured on the memory, you 'must' install it's software on every single computer you use. Most of the time, I cannot do that since I don't have administrative rights on most computers I use. (School / Office computer)

Lexar did not post this information on its website. I wouldn't have purchased this drive if I knew this.

The word 'portable' should be removed from its name.

Summary: "Small on size; big on security"
Review: Pros: Small, sturdy built, fast and password secure with configuration capability.
Cons: Only one slight aggravation: If you want to re-configure (Private/Public stored files, etc); it is necessary to back-up everything before doing so. ie: copy to back and then re-copy after re-configuring security feature... Small inconveniece.
Bottom line: Well worth the $$$.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not 2.0
Review: That is about the only complaint: It's USB 1.1 and is slower Unless you have a lot of data the speed is not important. What I needed was secure data transfer. I don't have admin privilges on some of the computers but they still let me put the program on.

If you need security and don't have a lot of data, just doc's, then get the cheaper Lexar 1.1. If you need speed and security then it would be worth the money.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Worst device ever plugged into my PC
Review: Worked great on my XP Pro machine, worked on my XP Home machine but I had to reinstall the drivers every time to see the secure partition. Wouldn't work at all on my ME machine. Now, after two months of use, not even my XP Pro machine will recognize it. Tech support so far can't help at all. Other Lexar drives are okay, but this one is terrible. Avoid the secure drive and get something else.
