4.0 out of 5 stars 8GB Jumpdrive Firefly JDFF8GB-431, February 22, 2008

By	J. Upchurch "Sys Admin" (Alabama) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a very compact and reasonably fast thumb drive -- actually about the length of *half* a thumb. It consists of two parts: the "drive" itself and a plastic "caddy" or "scabbard" it snaps firmly and deeply into (about 60% or so of the drive nestles iside the caddy afterwards.) The caddy has a lanyard-loop at the top you can snap onto your key chain or lanyard to retain it. One obvious misgiving: plastic eventually degrades and breaks in my experience, possibly long before the drive itself does, leaving you with no way to attach an otherwise perfectly usable device to your keychain or lanyard. However, the plastic caddy seems thick and strong, the fit with the drive seems firm as well, so for now I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. Besides, I've had lanyard-loops built into the drive break as well, so who knows what would be better in the long run?

I use this on both Macs (10.5.2 and 10.4.x) and PCs (WIndows XP and Server 2003), no problems. USB 2.0 support and 1.1 compatible as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best USB Drive: Here's Why..., November 15, 2008

By	Keith R. Bahrenburg "keithrolf" (Glendale, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Firefly is easily the best USB drive available right now. It may be slightly more expensive than some of its competitors, but the form factor makes up for the extra cost.

This drive is smaller than most, making it much more comfortable in the pocket, on your keys, or those hard-to-reach USB ports on computers.

The see-through connector-cap / keychain attachment is amazingly sturdy and makes it as easy to remove from your keychain as a simple tug and yet in over a year of buying firefly drives I have never had one come free from the keychain cap unintentionally.

I own a car stereo that allows me to play music from any USB device and being able to tug my MP3 loaded Firefly free while I'm driving without any trouble and plug it straight into my system has been extremely convenient.

No moving parts that swivel, slide and (inevitably) break from wear and tear. Plus it works flawlessly in both my Mac OS and Windows computer systems. And with 8 GB of space on me at all times I'm ready for almost anything that pops up.

The Firefly is simple, small, and convenient. Worth every penny.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lexar 8 GB Jumprdive review, May 11, 2008

By	Craig R. Madison (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The jumpdrive works fine...no problems. My only suggestion is that the manufacturer include a brief description of the ReadyBoost feature in Windows Vista and how to change/remove the Readyboost feature on the jumpdrive.
