Summary: Not working / No support
Review: A writer's worst nightmare - computer crashing and taking books, interviewers articles etc you have that are DO OR DIE. Well, in 5 years, I have collect 7 laptops and 3 PCs. I have the huge 200G for backup, but I really need something that is easy to use from machine.

I bought the mac Lexar Media 128 MB Jump Drive Package PD128-132 and the Lexar Media 256 MB JumpDrive Portable USB 2.0 Flash Drive. Both are very good. Please not the 256mb works on computers with 1.0 Flash Drives but at a reduced speed. My 1 1/2 Gateway only had 1.0, so that was a pain, but the rest have 2.0. They are cute see-through plastic, so the nightmare of backup and moving from computer to computer was solved - but then I envisioned the plastic melting or aliens munching on it - writers have imaginations you know!! So I saw that one. It is just as easy to us. XP people plug in and it will see it, couple clicks and you are using it. 98SE you need to install a drive.

This one is fatter than the 128 MB Jump Drive Package PD128-132. Since I am using laptops mostly, they work fine - plenty of room for side plugs. However, if space is a concern, you might want to go with the 128 MB Jump Drive Package PD128-132. It's thinner and narrower. However, if room is not a consideration, I would recommend this one. They are near the same price. This one is much more sturdy.

This one also comes with a security section, so that is an extra added plus if you need that.

Summary: The perfect solution for my project
Review: After buying a new computer, I was faced with the daunting task of transferring several thousand songs from my old computer on a budget. I tried to track down the PC to PC transfer cables and software that I'd need, but I was met with blank stares when I'd try to explain what I was looking for. Finally someone suggested buying a jumpdrive and using it to transfer the information between the two computers. I picked up the Lexar 128 MB because it was the least expensive that I found, and it performed flawlessly. While I haven't put it to any extended tests, I rate it high because it did exactly what I needed it to do. From this point on, everything else is gravy.

Summary: Lexar Jump Drive - 128MB
Review: Bought this thing approximately 2 months ago and it is dead. It no longer is recognized by any system's USB, and I have taken care not to damage the unit at any time.

It worked great for 2 months and was very easy to use both the public and private features. However, both are mute points when the system is dead.

Summary: Stopped working after 2nd use
Review: Echoing the other comments, I installed the software on my laptop and PC, set the public and private drives, saved some data, went on my way, and now the device is not detected on any PC, including both of my computers. It just stopped working after the second use. Lexar's tech support, online, email, and live, all fail to respond. I'm also having the same problems with the wide size of the drive. It does no good to have a private drive if you can't install the software on the PC you want to access. This is ridiculous. I'm returning it tomorrow to Circuit City.

Summary: Cheap, bulky, and quirky
Review: I bought my lexar jumprdrive in a store. At the time, it seemed like a real bargain. However, you do get what you pay for and this product shows it. The bulky design makes using it on traditional towers painful if not impossible. Also, the device begins to slowly die within two months. My adivce is to either buy Lexar's 256 MB jumpdrive (which has given me no problem) or another, slimmer brand.

Summary: Dont buy this!
Review: I bought the jumpdrive 128mb. First it's bulky, hard to fit in small spaces and it stopped working after only 2 months of use. I bought a cruzer micros and have had no problems.

Summary: Stopped working after 2nd use
Review: I bought the Lexar Media 128MB flash drive. It was the first one that I had bought. It was really great at first; no more floppy drives, convienient storage (my keychain). I babied it pretty well, but after a month-and-a-half it died on me. I always removed it from my system properly. Im very wary of flash drives at this point... I'm going to try another brand and buy one. If my next one fails I guess I'll have to stick to my floppy drive...
