Digital camera reviews of 4GB Jumpdrive Secure II Plus JDSEP4GB-431
Digital camera Review: Fast, sturdy, and even lets you know how much space you have left!
Summary: 5 Stars
In the past, I've always stuck with SanDisk for flash media. For SD cards, I still do. But I saw this Lexar drive on sale locally the other day and had pick one up. The big draws were name recognition, large storage capacity at a low price, built in security/encryption and that neat little gauge that tells you how much room you have left (which reminded me of those old batteries that had the power gauge on them). Oh yeah, and none of that U3 crap installed, either. That's definitely a good thing!
Anyway, I've been more than impressed. The only real flaw I've noticed is that a keyring/lanyard hole is on the cap. What that means is, lose the cap, lose your drive. But since this drive is plastic, I don't plan on keeping it on my keyring anyway. I'll opt to keep it in my bag most of the time for now.
The storage gauge is actually pretty neat. Nowhere on the packaging does it specify if this works while the drive is not plugged in or not, so I was assuming it would only display when plugged in. Luckily, I was wrong. This digital gauge displays all the time, so you can always know roughly how much room you have available. Of course, when you have a 4GB drive, and there's only 10 "bars" on the gauge, each bar represents roughly 200MB of space, so it's not accurate by any means. But it is still pretty neat, I have to admit.
A real big plus I've noticed is that the Portable Applications I use on this drive (Firefox, OpenOffice, Pidgin, GIMP, etc) load and run A LOT faster than on my previous flash drives. That's proof enough to me that this drive is pretty fast when compared to my past drives.
The included security software is decent, too. It allows you to create encrypted "vaults" that serve as separate drives. If you've ever used TrueCrypt or a similar program, it's very much like that: you create a "vault" (which is just a file) in which to put other files into. You specify a size for the "vault," set a password, and then it opens as a separate drive letter which you can move files over to like anything else. When you first put in this flash drive, you can set the software to automatically pop up and let you find your "vaults" to load/mount. Just enter your password and they'll open up for you to access. Easy as that. It adds an extra step or two between you and your files, but it's completely optional, and a good thing to utilize if you have documents or programs that might contain personal information (such as running Firefox Portable with saved passwords; Thunderbird Portable with your emails; or Word/Excel docs with phone numbers, credit card numbers, etc; for example).
It could be smaller, but for the price, speed, and extra features, it's not really a big deal.
So far, no major complaints.
