 Fast USB Flash Drive July 16, 2007

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.

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.
Great product October 24, 2007

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.
 Lots of storage... but inconvenient at times March 21, 2008

I used this flash drive for about 6 months for general files that I wanted to move from one computer to another, or just to have as backup. I kept it on my keychain so I would always have it with me (never know when you'll want to take some files off somebody else's computer) and it was great for this and I was glad to have it on me many of these times. It seemed to be plenty fast enough and the 'in use' light was a nice touch, but the software that comes on it was annoying. It sometimes wanted things to be installed or updated, but honestly, I don't know much about this software, I am just looking for a small storage drive. At one point I had music files on the drive that I could never see were there from my home computer. My home computer said the drives were empty, then when I went on another computer, I saw the files sitting there...
Then finally last month the cover on top just totally fell apart into 3 pieces. Most likely because it was always in my pocket being knocked around and squished. I am now looking into getting a USB with retractable top and less software on it.
 It is decent April 5, 2008

I bought this because of its durability. It is fast enough. I find that the program that is on it is ok, but I dont use it very often. But at least when you open it up it gives you the option to open up the documents section instead of running the program. So even if you dont need to run a application it works to your liking. For that reason I would say that it is a good product. I think the only thing that I might like to see come with it is a carrying strap or something to help lug it around.
