Customer Reviews of Lexar 256 MB USB 2.0 JumpDrive Elite Portable USB Storage (JDE256260)

A great way to effortlessy transfer files between multi-OS'!
I never thought this Jumpdrive would be so cool to own! I am glad I finally own one! Not only is it a great backup (OUTSIDE of the computer), it's a perfect way to take files with you on the road, bring files or images to a friend's house, work, etc, or transfer images in the SAME ROOM! How can you email 250MB? It'd take forever. I just put all the files/images on the drive, hand it over, and they have the files instantly. It's an attractive storage device too. I wouldn't pay $60-70 for this item, I got it on ebay for $39 brand new. So far it looks durable, effective, & easy-to-use. I'm happy! <

>No matter what OS you're in, it'll work fine. I am using Win XP and put some images on the JumpDrive and handed it to my husband who uses Mandrake Linux and he plugged it in his USB port and the files showed up instantly. No drivers, installation, or B.S. JUST WORKED! <

>And this is USB 2.0 so it's fast. Even copying files over in 1.1 mode was quick. When I look at available space on the drive it says there's 245MB possible. So the drivers took about 11MB of space. No big deal, if I need every MB, I would have gotten the 512MB, but in my opinion this is a perfect amt. of storage for me, for now. <

>I've lost many files and images over the years (almost lost our wedding pictures, OMG!!), it won't happen again!!! Thanks to this Jumpdrive, and my DVD/RW. <

Better options available, but not a bad purchase
The 256MB 2.0 Jump/Flash Drive from Lexar Media certainly gets the job done, however I wouldn't advise spending more than $60 on it. It has no password protect feature, and, depending on how old the model you are looking at is, some don't even have a write-protect feature. This model comes with drivers that automatically download when you first plug it in, however formatting is not automatic, plus, you will have to download seperate drivers off the internet if you are a Windows 98 user. The supplied drivers take up a little more than 11MB, so the capacity of the drive is actually in the range of 244MB, but that should suit most people fine. It's not a bad item, but I advise you to look around before making your purchase.
