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

A long time fan of Lexar, so when it was time to replace the physically-small MUF-128AB/AM 128-GB drives, I thought Id save a few bucks with another brand I also trusted. I got that wrong. I had looked at a bunch of CrystalMark results here on Amazon for the Lexar and they looked good. But CrystalMark does not run for 5+minutes and thats where these slowed down abysmally. I bought 4 of these to back up around 26-GB daily. They are fast enough for the first few minutes, but then they heat up with the writing and throttle-down. I guess that is good for longevity of the drive, but waiting an hour for a 15-minute backup sucks. Now that I have data on them I cannot return them for a refund so I am stuck with these and the $67 out of pocket. I now have to spend $84 for 4 of MUF-128AB/AM to replace them. Lesson learned, stay with what you know. I guess they are OK for casual use, but not for prolonged writes. YMMV, but I am seriously disappointed in these.

The different colors is a good idea so that you can identify which drive is used for what.

I used it to install Windows 10 on a PC, and it worked exactly the way it was supposed to. I just made sure to delete whatever those Lexi software files protection junk off the drive since I do not need them. It comes with 32 gb and it is fast.

The first time I inserted it into my Windows 10 system it said the device failed and could not be recognized, but removing and re-inserting it worked. IT uses the standard Microsoft USB storage driver, nothing special needed of course. Windows device properties shows 131,072 bytes used and 61,848,846,336 bytes available. Copying files to it using Windows Explorer the speed varies up and down with a peak of around 55MB/s. Not sure what the variability where it constantly speeds up and slows down is from, but thats as likely Windows or my set of files, and sometimes it gets VERY slow. It extends about 1 7/8 from the computer when inserted. Its a fixed stick with no moving part and theres a removable smoked transparent plastic cap that fits over the USB plug. Annoyingly, the cap cant be put on the back end of the stick while its in use so its almost guaranteed to get lost. Seems like a relatively good deal for the price however, with USB 3 support and spacious capacity. 3.5 stars rounding up to 4.

Lexar is a well-established name in digital storage. This flash drive is a good value at current prices. At USB 3.0, the transfer speeds are very good. Recommended with a 5 star rating.

The USBs are exactly what I was expecting. Easy to use, has enough storage capacity to hold your files. Delivered on time and packaged well.

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.

am using Lexar for long time and never had any issue with any of there USBs Great USB.

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.

Overall, this Lexar JumpDrive V100 64GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive works fine. Ive been transferring over data files regularly, and using this drive to taxi over documents to a separate work computer without a problem. The 64GB storage is really handy and the drive is reasonably priced. There is also an option for a less costly single 32GB drive, but this 64GB is a better deal. The only thing I dont like about this flash drive is the end cap design. Typically, other drives I use that have removable end caps design them to fit both ends of the unit so the caps arent easily lost. This one doesnt. Its a bit irritating to find the cap to replace it each time. Once, I almost damaged my screen with it while closing my laptop because I had placed the cap on my keyboard so I wouldnt forget it. Other than that irritating issue, the drive has been satisfactory so far.
