 Poor Quality November 12, 2004
7 out of 10 found this review helpful
I have sitting on my desk TWO dead Lexar Secure devices. A 256MB device and 512MB device. The 512MB device died when I ejected it using the Microsoft tool for safely removing the device. After waiting on hold for 40 minutes they told me to just send it back it was dead. I'm terribly disappointed with Lexar's Quality and ability to produce software and hardware that work correctly. The second device took a small amount of trauma I personally feel that it should have easily survived a drop from three feet. However, this could clearly be my fault.
Totally unreliable November 5, 2004

I bought this less than a month ago, handled it carefully, and always used the "Safely Remove Hardware" feature of Windows.
The drive worked for two weeks, then stopped working. I paid to return it, waited two weeks, and got a new one. The new one lasted only one week. Lexar will not do anything beyond replacing it again.
This product is far inferior to others on the market, such as PNY (and even Lexar's older Jumpdrive models). Stay away if you value your data (and productivity).
Piece of Junk October 23, 2004

This drive worked fine until I dropped my key chain in a parking lot. Now it will no longer mount by any computer. Good thing I used it just for backup.
Durable? Yeah right. Rugged? Hardly. These things should be able to survive more than a four foot fall.

I absolutely love my JumpDrive. I'll never need a floppy disk again. I use it to store just about everything I'm currently working on so I can access my files no matter where I am - home, work or anywhere there's a computer.
I only have two complaints. For some reason, the cap fits better in one direction than the other, but there's no way to tell by looking. And it's inevitable that I'll lose the cap one day.
On the positive side, it seems very sturdy. I like that the keychain ring is metal instead of plastic. I've pretty much abused it by throwing it in my purse, pockets, and laptop bag. It still works like a charm. It's easy to use and transfers files quickly.
 Cap hard to put back on September 23, 2004

If you need the Secure Software (which requires Win 2000/XP) because you transport sensitive information, you haven't much choice if you want a Lexar product. If security is not the issue, get the Jump Drive Pro. Three times out of four, the cap to the Secure goes on smoothly, but that fourth time... The metal part of the drive catches on some ribs inside the cap and it becomes frustrating trying to get the pieces together.
The drive itself works with Win98 and up, with a driver available online required for Win98. However, when inserted in a Win 98 machine, the drive complains that is being used with an incompatible OS. Or so it seems. However, it's the Secure software complaining, not the drive itself. You can access the public portions of the drive by going to My Computer, right-clicking on the drive and choosing Open. If you're not going to be using the Secure software, you can disable it by changing the name of the file Autorun.inf to something else, perhaps Autorun_dot_inf so you don't forget what it was. This should have been explained in the instructions.
Otherwise, it's a perfectly serviceable USB 2.0 flash drive.
