very impressive.......2007-12-09
My husband is very pleased with this product because he does geneology for his church and has thousands of names and it holds it all.
Handy Item.......2007-12-09
The Lexar 4 GB Jump Drive is very handy to use full of plenty of space for those of us who carry lots of data. The light is a good addition although the Lexar is so quick you can almost miss it light up when transferring data. The connection, however, is not always good the first try. You may have to reseat it. All in all I am extremely happy with it.
Great product.......2007-10-24
This is a good product both in size and performance.
The only problem is that the PowerToGo software that comes preinstalled is not quite "Vista Ready" yet. However, the Lexar and Ceedo web sites have upgrades that can fix that. I've been using it now for over a month and have not had any problems with it.
4GB is a perfect size for maintaining all my work available for use on multiple computers. I'd definitely recommend this product.
Good performer.......2007-07-18
The 4 GB jump drive is a terrific assistance for those who want to be able to store files in a portable medium.
To this point, the unit fits nicely into its "holder"; I lost the end to my 256 MB Lexar jump drive--most annoying. This system, to this point, seems to work better.
The capacity of the jump drive is a major positive factor. Once one begins to store files that take up space, smaller capacity jump drives can get overwhelmed. 4 GB is more than enough space for my uses.
It takes longer to transfer files than for my old 256 MB Lexar jump drive. On the other hand, that's a small price to pay for the much larger space available.
All in all, I'm a satisfied customer.
Fast USB Flash Drive.......2007-07-16
There are lots of USB flash drives on the market and many brands market multiple models in multiple sizes. Performance differences can be huge (factor of 10) between brands and between different models within one brand and yet most companies don't publish performance information except possibly for their highest end model. This makes for a very confusing and frustrating market for users. With smaller drives performance is less of an issue, but if you're shopping for a 4 GB drive and really plan to use that space, performance is key. Imagine the difference between 3 minutes and 30 minutes for a transfer. Lexar Jumpdrive Lightning drives actually improve the performance of their larger drives. The performance listed on Amazon is actually the performance for the smaller 2 GB drive; the 4 GB drive is rated at 30MB/s read and 21MB/s write. This makes it one of the fastest drives available. Though performance can depend on the type of test you run, in very limited testing for me, it lived up to its performance claim.
I haven't used the included software, so can't comment on that.
A blue LED on the drive is a nice touch, but it ends up on the down side of the drive in my 3 yr old Dell mini tower and so doesn't show.
The end cap is potential losable, but so far seems to stick on well enough.
The drive may be a little on the thick side and could potentially block usage of an adjacent USB port depending on the connector to the adjacent port, but so far this hasn't been a problem for me.
Overall a great product for my usage.

Clean, fast and sexy.......2007-09-23
I use this product on both my MacBook Pro with OS X and an HP laptop and it works well for transporting files between operating systems or simply housing files that only reside on the flash drive but are used from both computers - home and office. At under fifty bucks this is a very worthwhile investment. 2 Gigs is sufficient for most folks.
Good buy and great software.......2007-07-29
This drive performs well and looks great. The casing gives it a sense of durability. The encryption and shredding software work well. Plenty of room on the drive and easy to set up. Sometimes the software can be quirky, but they were minor performance gltches when learning to use the vaults etc...
So far... so good!.......2007-07-13
I was kinda surprised to see very bad rating about the external housing! I have been using this for over a month, and didn't see any problem. I have this attached to my car keys too. My only complaint would be the size (and hence the 4 stars)... it is big compared to my mighty sandisk micro (which i lost.. unfortunately), and this may be 'coz of the two layered case.
Bottom line ... if you can get this for around 40 bucks... it's definitely worth buying.
Cheaply made.......2007-07-05
It looks slick but is not made to last. After a week, the little LED in the center detached and would float around inside the housing. After a month or so, the cap became loose and eventually fell off. If you find it, please let me know. A few months after that while trying to remove it from my computer, the housing came off, but the chipset and board stayed attached in my computer. I figured it really wanted to be there.
Avoid it.
excellent.......2007-05-19
Very good product. It's very serious and just what i want in prescence. The memory comes with a software or something like that that use about 80Mb so you don't have de 2 Gb completly but almost. Anyway I'm pleased with this memory for the appearencce, look and the price.

Great Product.......2007-02-21
I ordered this product for use both on a MAC and PC. I works well on both OS's.
I was worried about the other reviews on this product that stated that is was made of cheap plastic. It is, but so is every other flash dive I have ever had and none of them have died on me. If your tough on equipment you will have problems with any flash drive.
The Lexar SecureII software that comes with it works very well on Both MAC and PC. It is the only encrypted virtual drive other than PGP Desktop that works on both MAC and PC. It is probably not as secure as PGP, but secure enough in case the drive is lost.
I wish I could change my star rating from 5 to 3.......2007-02-06
Since I wrote my original review, my 2nd Jumpdrive Lightning (a 2GB model) has developed a case of the slows, not always, but always when it writes off of my newest, most powerful PC. The Lexar tech support guy's only suggestion was that I not use the Media Center edition of Win XP. It's a weird problem. The new Jumprdrive originally was equally fast (very fast) on all my PCs. But I'm not about to change my computer's OS. Anyway, I can no longer give Lexar Jumpdrives a very high recommendation.
My original review follows:
The name Lightning is fully justified by the exceptional performance of this memory stick. It seems fully 5 times faster than a 2-Gbyte "EP" memory stick that I bought just a few months ago (and now never use!), and at least twice as fast as even my old Lexar Jumpdrive Pro.
Maybe if you want some special "software" this is not the device for you, but for the basic function of ultra-portable storage, this is way, way superior to anything else I've ever had -- or borrowed.
By the way, I only noticed those negative reviews because I stopped by to order the new 2-Gbyte version of the Lightning. (I really need both 2 Gbytes and speed.) If I am reading the technical specs right, the 2-Gbyte version is even a bit faster than the 1-Gbyte Lightning.
Lexar dropped the ball.......2006-07-27
This is my third lexar jumpdrive, I have the original purple USB 1.1, a 512mb secure, and now the 1GB lightning. I expected great quality as before, with a metal case, you expect durability, but this unit falls short. The size is great and I got it at a great price, however now 4 months after purchase the cap will not stay on, it pops off all the time, I have had to crawl half way under my car twice to get it. I have always been impressed with Lexar, but this item falls far short compared to other units they have made. I would suggest saving your money.
VERY POOR QUALITY.......2006-05-10
We purchased 21 of these. 20 out of the lot are defective. The Lightning "Jump Drives" have a rubber/plastic molding that holds the front and back of the jump drive together. The cap is built the same way. Upon removing the drives from the package, and removing the caps, most of them cracked and parts of the plastic fell off. We contacted Lexar (brush up on your Indian language skills before calling) and did not get anywhere with them..... I would NOT recommend buying from Lexar. We returned the products to PC Mall, and exchanged them for SanDisk Cruzer Titaniums. MUCH BETTER!
