So Slooooooooow [Posted on 2007-06-25]
I really can't begin to describe how slow the transfer rate of the Lexar firefly is. The transfer rate makes it nearly unusable for anything but a few small files. It can take literally HOURS to transfer 500 MB if it is a bunch of small files you are transferring. It is a little bit faster with fewer larger files. However, I recommend looking for something else. I am very disappointed with my purchase.
Very convenient [Posted on 2007-09-22]
I have had several USB drives and this one is by far the most convenient. The clear cap connects nicely to a key ring and the drive can be quickly removed for use. I highly recommend this drive for anyone who wants to carry a flash drive with them.
Does the job, but does it slowly. [Posted on 2007-10-07]
I purchased the Lexar Firefly 1GB from the student bookstore at my University for only $14.00. I use it often and it works perfectly for all of my papers and text documents. Anything larger takes some time to load and interact with though.
I was disappointed by the speed issue as I hoped to use the flash drive with portlable firefox and other small, usb drive based application. The device is far to slow to do this though.
Since it is really only good for storage of small files I would suggest buying one of the fireflies with smaller capacity. If all you are doing is storing text files the smaller drives should do and are a better value.
It works...just VERY SLOWLY [Posted on 2008-03-24]
I've had the Lexar 1GB Firefly for a few months now and have decided to use it as a back-up storage device only; I do not use this device for transporting documents/data that I'll need to transfer or update regularly, because it is very, very slow. Currently, all of my saved documents/files take up about 50MB of storage space. It takes roughly 20 minutes to transfer all of this data onto the Firefly. So, for regular usage, quick transfers and portability, I use another flash device.
For $9, I am satisfied with this device as a means of storing my documents and files. However, if you will need a flash drive for regular/frequent use, I'd suggest you consider other options.
worked well for 18 months [Posted on 2008-07-16]
I used FirefoxPortable on this and found the speed adequate. It just stopped working after about 18 months.
