5.0 out of 5 stars Carry this portable drive on your keychain!, February 6, 2003

By	"suebecrazy1" (Chicagoland) - See all my reviews

Imagine being able to carry the equivalent of 44 floppy disks on your keychain or in your pocket or hanging from your beltloop. Suddenly, you feel like James Bond with some incredibly convenient device that allows you walk around with a portable computer drive that you can plug into any computer with via the USB port. I'm writing a book and in a matter of moments I had transferred all my floppys onto this 64 MB PocketFlash with such ease. I went to work, held out my fist to a co-worker and said, "Guess what I have in my hand? My book." And I opened my hand. You no longer have to carry your laptop around to bring your files home, to work or anyplace that has a computer. Simply plug in this portable drive, download your files onto it, pull it out and slip into your pocket. I have keychains that are larger than this PocketFlash. This is definitely a must-have.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful device, April 2, 2003

By	Michael Casey "Michael" (Atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This truly is a floppy replacement for me. I use my Jumpdrive to move files between my work computer (Dell Optiplex running XP Pro), my iBook (running OS/X 10.2) and my home desktop Dell (Dell Dimension running XP Home). The Jumpdrive integrates seamlessly and quickly whenever it is plugged in to the USB port. I am able to drag and drop files to the drive, as well as being able to save directly to the drive, which is assigned a drive letter in XP and a drive icon in OS/X. I have never had a data loss or corruption problem.

My only complaint about the Jumpdrive is its weak plastic key loop, where a keychain is designed to be attached. The plastic is very thin and I fear I could easily loose the Jumpdrive if I attached it to my keychain. It would be far studier if Lexar used a metal ring for this one part. Otherwise the Jumpdrive line of products is excellent.

4.0 out of 5 stars Key Loop Durability Issue, Otherwise Excellent, May 1, 2003

By	Gadget Boy (Appleton, WI USA) - See all my reviews

After using the drive for two months, I am still happy with it. It has worked flawlessly with both my Windows 2000 computer at work and my Mac OS X computer at home. It has survived going from freezing-air temperatures to the warmth of my pocket many times.

Not visible from the picture of the drive is a clip on the back of the cap, which can be used to clip the drive to something like a shirt pocket or a briefcase pocket. The cap fits very snuggly, as it is made from a pliable plastic, so I would have no fears of the drive separating from the cap when using this clip.

I keep the drive on my key chain, where it is shorter in length than my keys. The key loop for attaching the drive to a key ring is on the body of the drive, where I believe is the best place (I don't want to lose the drive if the cap falls off, not that I think this cap would). However, the plastic of the key loop has already cracked half way through. Despite this durability issue (which I can easily repair at this point), I would buy this drive again.

If the key loop had cracked completely, I would be less forgiving.
