Save your money.......2007-11-29
I bought this for my critical financial files and some other absolutely necessary data. It lasted about six months if that. I formatted it and tried to get it back in shape. Nothing worked.
I'm going to go back to Kingston DataTraveler Elite 4gb. I have a Kingston that has outlived every other flash drive I've had and it's still going strong. Just not enough storage. They cost more. But you get more. Long run, you can spend lots of money on flash drives if you have to buy them every six months or a year. I'd rather spend more upfront and have something I can depend on.
I sure don't recommend this drive.
So Sloooooooooow.......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.
More "gadgety" than good.......2007-05-12
If you want people to be amazed, astonished, and a bit jealous of your flash drive, this is the one for you.
Most can't believe that this (literally) small-finger sized drive holds 4GB.
However, for how gadgety it is, it lacks in performance.
First of all, it is not 4GB. It is 3.77GB. That's a lot of memory missing. 3.5GB would be a more correct listing. Secondly, it's slow. Very slow. Even pulling up a notepad file takes much longer than it should.
This flash drive was one of the ones affected by Lexar's recall. Not that this particular one was, but the model in general was for overheating issues. The Firefly is still a victim of overheating, but not as badly as people who push the issue would have you think.
If you want a "wow" drive and not a "work" drive, this is the one for you. That blinking blue light could win anyone over immediately. Just don't expect stellar performance.
Great data storage device.......2007-02-04
Love it. I store all my class teaching materials with illustrations, and after using two 1 gig Lexar mass storage devices and filling most of the available space, this is pure luxury. I look forward to an 8 gig and ultimately a 16 gig. Lexar is a very reliable company, and their products are well worth the extra cost. The only drawback to the 4 gig is that it seems just a little slower than my 1 gigs. Minor point, though.
Marketing Pinheads triumph.......2006-12-22
I got this as a gift from a friend who should know better, but I could easily have been suckered by the weasel words the marketing department plastered on the package.
The package says "Hi Speed" USB but I had 670 MB on a 1 GB Cruzer Mini that I wanted to transfer to the new Lexar JumpDrive FireFly. The upload to my laptop went smoothly - no more than 10 minutes. Then I took out the Cruzer and inserted the FireFly in the same USB port and copied the directory I had just uploaded to the FireFly via a simple "paste". It took over an hour (I don't know exactly how long since I had to leave before it finished).
When I got back, I decided to do a test copy of the data back to the Cruzer. The same data only took 10 minutes to download back to my 1 GB Cruzer.
It seems clear that "Hi Speed" for Lexar means USB 1.0 (about 12 Mbps) and not USB 2.0 (about 480 Mbps).
I'm sure the marketing department said "Why confuse the poor stupid consumers with technichal specs.?"
I searched their website to see if there was more information but the suits seem to have veto power over the web designers as well.
If speed is important to you (and with a 4 GB drive it is logical to assume that you are going to have some large files to move) then steer clear of this product. 1 GB of data will take you on the order of an hour or more to move.
Of course if speed is not important or if you only have 1.0 USB ports on your machine then the product is fine. It works as well as any other flash drive device on the market.
My main complaint is that without testing, it is hard to know that this is only a 1.0 device.

Firefly 4gb.......2007-10-17
I like my jumpdrive except that it seems to take a while to save my projects. Other than that it is a great tool

Very slow.......2007-06-12
This would be a great product if it weren't extremely slow. If speed is a factor, buy another brand.
small, cheap, slow.......2007-06-02
This is a very compact USB flash drive, with good capacity, and it is cheap. The plastic cap provides good protection. The main drawback is that this is a really really slow drive. It takes over an hour to copy 500MB onto it (from a hard drive, under Win XP). I can recommend this drive only for rarely-accessed archives, or if your time has no value.
Love it.......2007-03-08
I need to back up all my class lectures, including illustrations, and this 4GB Firefly is just what I needed. It is a little slow, but that does not worry me too much. Its design is such that the small unit is separable from the cover, and so it plugs securely into my labtop USB without having a key ring dangling from it.
Lexar are a very reliable company, and I also have two of their 1GB mass storage devices. Very satisfied with them as well.
