I love this JumpDrive! It's a cinch to use and the transfer speed is excellent, once you format it for NTFS as mentioned by another reviewer.

I also used PGP to encyrpt my files in case the drive should fall into the wrong hands. You can get PGP Personal Desktop at www.pgp.com, or there are a number of other encryption programs available. I was worried about a complete stranger getting access to my financial info, but after hours of fiddling I couldn't get the Windows XP Professional encryption system to work (I copied my private key to another computer but it still wouldn't decrypt), so I went to a third-party program.

I keep all of my files, personal and business, including my Outlook personal folders (the outlook.pst file) on this drive. I have configured Outlook on all of my computers to access the outlook.pst file on the JumpDrive directly, to avoid having to copy the file back and forth, and it works seamlessly and quickly.

I work on four computers regularly so for me this solution is much better than using a laptop (I've had bad experiences with laptops!).

I highly recommend this device for yourself or as a gift.

I might get this thing if I get an A in my Englih, Math, Computer, and Dance class. I also can get this thing if a lot of girls like me a lot at school. One of my girlfriends say to me that if I learned how to be a gentleman and get an A in my English, Math, Computer, and Dance class, then a lot of girls like me a lot, and then I can have lots of girlfriends. So, I will buy it when a lot of girls like me. If a lot of girls love to dance with me, then I would bring the JumpDrive with me to the dance with the girls. I would also bring it with me when I go to a party with the girls. You should buy this JumpDrive for your son if your son is being a gentleman, very smart, and many girls liked him.

I've used several external storage devices for backing up my projects and carting them back and forth between work and home and the Lexar JuimpDrives are by far and away the best I've used. I own both the 256 meg and the 1 gig versions and use them heavily (dozens of times a day). I've never had a lick of trouble with either one. They're tough, they're fast and on a modern OS (I use XP, 2000/2003 server and Fedora from Redhat) they work fabulously.

I have no idea what Doctor Moon is talking about - he's clearly confused or lying. I backup web page projects that have some of the longest file names you'll see (100 characters and up) and don't have a problem (where as CD burners will - thus I back up all my web projects to JumpDrives).

One tip: if you're using these exclusively on systems with NTFS (2000/2003/XP) be sure to format it as NTFS before using - it makes a big performance difference.
