Lexar Media 128 MB JumpDrive Portable USB Flash Drive

Summary: Like it
Review: I bought this to take files back and forth from work to my home. I am very satisfied with the product. 128 megs of storage is perfect for my needs. I don't want to worry about lugging a zip disk around with me that could easily be forgotton. Since this clips onto a keychain easily, it makes it portable yet easy to keep track of, which was very important to me.

I also like the tab that can prevent files from being overwritten.

I've used this product for about 3 months and I have no complaints. I am very happy with my purchase, and that I didn't spend more on an expensive flash drive.

Summary: Great for Transferring Data Between Linux and Windows
Review: At work and at home I use a mix of Windows and Linux systems, and this has worked flawlessly on all of them. Win 2k and XP (both home and professional) recognize it and mount it automatically. Red Hat Enterprise 3 requires mounting (like a floppy or CD), but basically acts as if it's a removable media hard drive. Transfers aren't instantaneous, but it's much more convenient than burning a CD, firewalls never get in the way, and it's a lot quicker than an Internet transfer.

Some people have faulted the unit for durability. I carry it in my briefcase in a plastic cassette tape box with a bit of paper added for padding, so I don't expect any difficulties.

Summary: Too wide for me
Review: I really can't rate this item because I never got to use it. It was too wide for the USB port on the front of my computer.
