Summary: this is the greatest thing if you're a college student
Review: i am currently attending a distance-learning program for my undergraduate degree and this jump drive is the handiest thing i have ever come across. i have to transport several semesters worth of work and instead of having to cart around several disks or CD's, i have 4 semesters worth of papers etc. on one jump drive! it's all in one place for me when i travel - especially handy since i no longer own a laptop computer. Also handy for when you DO have a laptop or something with mot quite enough memory on it, you can have one of these and save everything that you don't need on your hard drive to the jump drive. This product is much better than floppies or CD's.. more durable, too.
of course, now that i bought this one last year and now they have 1 GB ones for the same price... oh well, that's just the way it is :)

Summary: dead after 1 year
Review: I bought a 256mb drive about a year ago. It worked very well with my powerbook but was rarely detected with Windows ME. IT is more flimsy and bulky compared to other usb drives. Recently it suddenly stopped working completely. No computer can detect it and the flashing light does not come on when plugged into any usb drive. Maybe just a lemon or some bad luck?

Summary: 5 stars for storage, 1 star for design!!
Review: I own the following Lexar Jump Drive Pro (256MG). I love the ability to transport large files with it! It is great for storage! I have had this since May (it was given to me as a birthday gift). I just want to let you know that this is a terrible design. I have only had it for 5 months and the cap will not stay on! I have been forced to use a small strip of scotch tape to keep it on or go without the cap. I don't like to do the latter because this leaves the USB connector unprotected.
I would not recommend this Lexar Drive to others. Lexar has other designs that are far better than this.

Summary: Works like it's suppose to..
Review: Does what it's suppose to do.
Windows 2K, 98SE, won't recognize some USB sticks out there, but this memory stick worked perfectly with anything. So far, I always carry this unit without a cap in my pocket almost everyday, have never lost data yet.
Not as slim as some of the latest USB sticks, but the blue definitely looks cool. Does what it promises. I like it!

Summary: Excellent value, but XP network can cause problems
Review: I have been using this jump drive for six months and it has performed flawlessly. Previously, I had a 64 mb model, and I liked it so much that I upgraded to the 256 pro version.
I use my jump drive to carry data between work and home. I'm a teacher, and I copy my gradebook files at school to work on at home. I make my lesson plans at home, and save them on the jump drive to print out at school. I also use the jump drive at home to download videos from our subscription site to use in the classroom. I've also used my jumpdrive to store Powerpoint presentations for workshops and trainings that I've conducted.
For personal use, I store photos and home videos to share when visiting relatives. I just plug the jump drive into the USB port, and open up the photo folder for immediate access. Everyone is amazed at how easy it is!
The only probem I've encountered with the Lexar JumpDrive Pro happened when I installed Windows XP on my school computer. When I booted up, I got a message that not all the drives could be connected, and my jump drive was not shown in any of the drives. It was as if it wasn't recognized by XP. The jump drive was perfoming well on my XP computer at home, and on my old Windows 98 computers at school, so I knew it wasn't the jump drive, but the XP system at school that was causing the problem.
It turned out that the problem was how XP handles a mapped network, which is what we use at school. XP had assigned all the available drives (A-Z) to the network, so none were available for use by the jump drive. I had to manually disconnect the drives that were not actually used by the network, and then the jump drive appeared for use.
Since then, I have used my jump drive pro continuously without problems. I keep it on my keychain, with my car keys. That way I can't leave school without it.

Summary: Performs flawlessly
Review: I've been using my JumpDrive since May and have never had any problems with it. It is such a handy replacement for carrying around CD-RWs! So light, I usually forget I have it with. I've done quite a few transfers with it so far and am totally happy with ths JumpDrive.

Summary: This is a great value for the money!
Review: This is a fantastic piece of technology and I really like it. I originally purchased the Lexar 128 Megabyte Jumpdrive, but used it so much I ended up buying this one and keeping the other as a spare at home.If you think about it, there really are only 4 ways to exchange technology between computers (for the average person). You could use a floppy drive -but they are not standard anymore on next generation computers, and they only hold 1 megabyte of infomation -hardly enough to handle more than a picture or two. Or, you could use a Zip drive. But here's the problem. You now have 100, 250, and 750 megabyte drives, and though you can read any of the older zip disks with a newer drive, you CANNOT WRITE ON THEM (and the reading process is REALLY slow). I made this mistake, and I am stuck with a 750 Megabyte drive that no one else has, so I can't do much more than backup my own data. Or, you can burn information to a CD-rom and move it that way. Yes, you can do this, IF you have a burner and a blank cd on the computer you need data from, but that very likely may not be an answer either for casual transfers. Amd finally, what I had been using most of the time, email. You can realistically email up to 3-5 MB of pictures or files. Pretty easy to use, and everyone has it, but not a solution for photos or large files. This is where the jumpdrive comes in -and I think it is the perfect replacement. It is the size of your little finger and (this version) holds 256 MB! Best of all, the price has come down to a point that it is a great value. Here's how it works. You pull of the cap and plug the drive directly into your comuter's USB port. (You don't need any software or drivers to preload -you just plug it in to any computer.) When it is plugged in the computer automatically recognizes it as a new drive right on your desktop. I.e. Go to your "My Computer" section and it now shows up as "Lexar Media (H:)" You then treat it like you would any other drive -you can save files to it, or you can just drag and drop files to it. Here's another cool thing about the Lexar version of this drive. There is a little green light on the memory stick that lights up and blinks when it is first plugging in, and also when it is loading data. This will prevent you from removing the stick before the data is loaded -which is usually something that happens very quick! I am very happy with this portable drive. It is something that is effortless to use, and is small enough that it can basically hang on your keychain so you have it wherever you need it. (In fact, there is actually a hook on the top of the drive so you can clip or hook it to whatever you want.) The only thing to keep in mind is that it is a little small, and can get misplaced easily. If you are not going to carry it with you (with your keys), I'd recommend putting it somewhere that you are not going to forget, or tying a bulky keychain to it so it can't get lost. Finally, it is something that I can feel confident that even non-techies will be able to use with ease -in other words, this is what mom and dad get for Christmas!

Summary: Got it replaced, NONE working!!
Review: I got one last year and it quitted in a few month. After replacing with Lexar, it stopped working again in a month!!
It is totally NOT reliable and I lost all my data!! I do not think this is a good choice.

Summary: Works good.
Review: I bought this to store my thesis and some important school documents, as well as trasnferring some data from my laptop to desktop. This flash drive should be USB 2.0 compatible, however, it makes my laptop crashes whenever I plug it in my USB 2.0 cardbus. Well, it does work well with the original USB 1.1 of my laptop.
