Lots of storage... but inconvenient at times [Posted on 2008-03-21]
I used this flash drive for about 6 months for general files that I wanted to move from one computer to another, or just to have as backup. I kept it on my keychain so I would always have it with me (never know when you'll want to take some files off somebody else's computer) and it was great for this and I was glad to have it on me many of these times. It seemed to be plenty fast enough and the 'in use' light was a nice touch, but the software that comes on it was annoying. It sometimes wanted things to be installed or updated, but honestly, I don't know much about this software, I am just looking for a small storage drive. At one point I had music files on the drive that I could never see were there from my home computer. My home computer said the drives were empty, then when I went on another computer, I saw the files sitting there...

Then finally last month the cover on top just totally fell apart into 3 pieces. Most likely because it was always in my pocket being knocked around and squished. I am now looking into getting a USB with retractable top and less software on it.

Blazing speed and highly durable! [Posted on 2008-03-26]
I've tried many a jumpdrive in my day since I work in the computer field. After reviewing many, I decided to try the Lexar 4 GB Lightning and am extremely impressed. The first thing I noticed was how durable it felt and looked. The shiny casing is nice, but when you hold it, you just know it's more durable than most any other jump drive on the market.

This is the fastest jump drive I've ever used. Many jump drives slow way down when transferring small files, except for this one. This one is blazing fast with both small AND large files and/or folders.

I don't use the built-in software, choosing instead to use freeware synchronization software.

All in all, I highly recommend this jump drive.

It is decent [Posted on 2008-04-05]
I bought this because of its durability. It is fast enough. I find that the program that is on it is ok, but I dont use it very often. But at least when you open it up it gives you the option to open up the documents section instead of running the program. So even if you dont need to run a application it works to your liking. For that reason I would say that it is a good product. I think the only thing that I might like to see come with it is a carrying strap or something to help lug it around.

Great [Posted on 2008-04-07]
This is my second Lexar Lightning drive, I originally bought a 1 GB drive. It worked so well that when I wanted more memory I bought the 4 GB drive. It is very fast, and does everything I want it to do. Would buy again. Very dependable.

Great product, shame about Amazon [Posted on 2008-05-15]
Having purchased (and been charged for), a bundled purchase of two JumpDrives, I was told by Amazon that the second was unavailable. Received an e-mail from Amazon to say I wasn't going to be charged - lip service.

Anyway, the Lexar product works well. I wish that Amazon's system was as effective.
