Lexar JumpDrive V100 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive, Gray (LJDV100-32GABNL)

Flash drive failed after 2-months. Windows file explorer hangs when the drive is plugged in. MacOS doesnt even recognize it anymore! Cant access any files on the drive. Just abrupt catastrophic failure. I have many USB flash drives, none have failed this bad and this soon! This was my first (and probably the only one) from Lexar.

Amazing how much USB flash drives have gone down in price. 64 GB for a USB 3.0 for just a dozen dollars? Nice! Like many USB 3.0 drives from reputable brands, this is a fast performer, though not as fast as my Patriot Supersonic Rage drive. What I dont like about this Lexar drive, however, is that the USB portion is not retractable. It is instead protected by a cap that could be easily lost. In addition, as someone who is in IT Security, I do not like using a third party encryption software, especially when Lexar is now owned by a Chinese company where we may not easily be able to detect whether theres a backdoor left behind for the Chinese government. Id hate to bring this USB drive to China for work, only for the authorities there to be able to decrypt company secrets. Id rather much at minimum use encryption by the likes from Microsoft using its BitLocker technology, for example.

I have dozens of flash drives from several different manufacturers, but I use a Lexar for my Windows 10 USB installer, because its the one that gives me the least problems when Im creating the boot drive. Its been reliable for years and I expect the V100 will be as well. The performance of the V100 actually shocked me. I was expecting much slower sequential read/write speeds than what I tested. As you can see from the Blackmagic speedtest screenshot, the Lexar V100 64GB drive read at 144 MB/s and wrote at 99 MB/s. Thats great in my book! The weird thing about the design of the V100 is that the cap slides onto the back of the drive, but it doesnt snap on. Its all loose, so theres no point. My other Lexar has a sliding cap, which is more convenient, but I dont mind caps and havent lost one yet. As long as you dont need a super durable, cap-securing flash drive, the V100 is a great buy. It looks simple, is very affordable, and has great performance.

In excellent condition and as expected. Excellent transaction.

Fast shipping. Works perfectly. Enough room to backup what I needed it for.

Very good product so far I was able to download music on it and the sound comes out great. I enjoy crystal clear no static that was the only reason why I wanted so far 66 songs and ready to download more

Very useful and easy to use. Had a 128 G that only worked for a year.

Already failed, and I am just outside the return window. Very disappointed. Was using as install media for Linux, so it was written to only once and read about 10 times... and now failed. Will never buy this brand of usb memory stick again.

The video above cracks me up, as if all the cool kids use thumb drives. Nope, they all use the cloud and have no regard for privacy or security of their personal data. Not being credulous enough to trust the cloud with any of my own sensitive information, I prefer a hardware based solution. Being old enough to appreciate my own mortality and being a physician who knows how difficult it can be to make assessments in a vacuum, I carry this one with me travelling as convenient storage for my medical history, emergency contacts and advanced care directive. Ive had good luck with Lexar memory products over the years. They may not always be cutting edge in terms of specs but theyve been reliable, economically priced and performed well in my applications. This unit is no exception and at the price is a good value.

Lo quiero para mis pequeños, para que ganen más independencia
