 Price November 24, 2007
Why does Amazon have this at such a high price? I paid $20.00 two years ago for the same thing.
Weak and unreliable October 31, 2006
Like many others have said, this thing will not take any abuse at all. The caps constantly fall off, and most of the time it will automatically reboot your computer as soon as you connect it to the USB ports. This will lose all information. I have experience with many of these. Do not buy this one!
Too fat and too fragile September 8, 2006
I have had two of these drives fail in a matter of months. If you get one of these, be sure to back up any data on another device. I realize that is good advice for any medium but is especially true for these drives.
The drive is so wide that it blocks a port on each side of it on my USB Hub. So, it uses three ports instead of one unless I put it in an end slot. Then it uses two.
Finally, I had problems with the "secure" feature. On one drive, the secured files suddenly became inaccessible.
The idea is good but the excecution is not.
 This is by far the best flash drive for the price July 6, 2006
I had to rave about my little buddy here. I've had it for over a year now and it has been solid, reliable and dependable. I use it for a design class and its just the right size to carry big files around. I also noted that my lexar works in many front computer usb ports where many of my other classmates had to plug it in the back to power it. Believe it or not I actually washed it in the washing machine. I thought I lost it but after it dried all my data was still there and it still works (that was 5 months ago). I agree with the first reviewer that the design doesnt allow it to fit into narrow usb areas but other than that I am completely satisfied with this product.
 Great Flash Drive May 22, 2006
I've had this product about six months, and if it weren't for one design problem, I would rate this as an outstanding product. Although it isn't a problem for me, the one negative is the fact that you cannot use it in a USB port that is filled with adjacent connections. Why? Because it's too wide. That unfortunate design feature is the only reason I rated it 4, as opposed to 5 stars.
I have an open USB 2.0 port on the front of my computer so the wide girth isn't an issue for me. However, if you're going to use it with other items plugged into adjacent ports, this is not the drive for you.
On the plus side, I love the built in encryption because one could easly lose a flash drive or someone could steal it. If that happens, I don't have to worry about someone obtaining my personal information. I think the built in encryption feature is what makes this drive so valuable.
File transfers are extremely fast and it's been rock solid reliable. So if you have a wide open USB 2.0 port available, I highly recommend this item.
