Journal bhtooefr's Journal: Lexar JumpDrive Elite 128MB Review
Cost: $34.88 (Wal-Mart, 2004-04)
Approx. $0.27/MB
Package: Drive only
Included software: None
Drive features: Minimal
Drive speed: USB 2.0
Read: Fast (8MB/s theoretical)
Write: Moderate (6MB/s theoretical)
Cap retention:
New: Good
After 1 month: Good
After 3 months: Good
After 6 months: Fair
Physical durability: Fair
Electronic durability: Very Poor
Physical Size: Very thick, will not fit in a dual-stack port, or some on-keyboard ports.
Power consumption: <100mA, can be used on a bus-powered hub.
Upshot: This one lasted eight months. The failure of this drive led me away from Lexar, but it wasn't exactly a BAD drive. The package could have been better, though, and the drive could have been smaller - when I tried to get it working again, I found lots of open space in the case.
