I bought this drive because of its high speed and good look. As one of the reviewer pointed out the the joints are made of poor quality material and it came off within a month and soon it will be unusable. I am returning it.
Very Disappointed! August 25, 2005

Expected first rate quality considering the product specifications and the hype from lexar. Within 1 week after receiving the 1GB Lightning the rubber/plastic fittings where the cap connected with the device started to crumble. First a small piece came off then a larger piece until finally the cap would not stay put - basically the black plastic was brittle and I have to say I treated the unit with kid gloves. I asked Lexar to replace (swapping out so that I could still have a USB drive even offered my credit card to enable a warranty cross-shipment type arrangement) but all they wanted to do was have me send it in and wait 2-4 weeks for a replacement. This was unacceptable to me so I returned the Lightning drive for a full refund.
Until they improve the quality control on their manufacturing process I would stay away from this product. I have instead decided to try the Sandisk version with the disappearing USB connector (i.e. it has no cap to lose or become a problem).

I had this drive for 5 months till its demise on 13 Dec 2005. Within 2 days of receiving the drive the plastic (yes, plastic!) molding to hold the cap in place wore off, so the cap stays on very loosely , if at all. I stopped wearing the drive around my neck for that reason. For that matter, I stopped using the cap!
The desgin is essentially a stainless steel casing but with plastic support at the side and around the port itself, the molding around the port begain to breakoff, forcing me to use glue to keep it on..
My drive finally met its demise by being literally pulled out of its casing by my bumping against it and hooking the lanyard i had for it, while being plugged into a computer on the floor . The thing actually works still, but it's like a snail without its shell and the usb port is bent where it can break off from the now exposed mini circuit board. The casing is partially split - along the sides - where the plastic is. A little extra force and I can split the casing in two. The stainless steel is a waste of time. Only there for looks and nothing else.
I bought it thinking it would be a tough flash drive. I was quite wrong.
I'm sorry, this is my 3rd - and final - lexar drive that I shall own. I'll Give Sandisk a try ... or anyone with a proper drive design.

I'd give it 0 stars if I could...
I purchased this drive specifically because I expected it to be made better and last longer than other more "plastic" drives I have owned. Boy, have I been disappointed. Within the first week the plastic inner collar that holds on the cap began to disentegrate! I should have returned it immediately, but it did not appear to cause much problem with the cap staying on...so what the heck. Well, now that I am three months into owning this thing, the entire casing has fallen apart. I have contacted Lexar for replacement under the "Limited Lifetime Warranty" and the offshore tech support representatives have run me around and around for two solid days (so far) without providing a Return Authorization - saying only that they are experiencing technical difficulties in issuing the RMA...keep waiting! And, this is on the Lexar online chat support because I can't get anyone at Lexar to answer the phone!
I use a jumpdrive everyday in my work and it has become an essential - but Lexar does not seem to care about my inconvenience! They won't care about your problems either!
STAY AWAY FROM THIS JUMPDRIVE!! BUY ANYTHING ELSE!! YOU'LL BE HAPPY YOU DID!
