The Lexar JumpDrive Secure II Hi-Speed USB Flash Drive offers me immense convenience-letting me work anywhere I please, doing anything I want at any time. Virtually every day, I work at three or four different computers-none of which offer me the ability to save my work to their hard drives. With the Lexar JumpDrive, I do not need to worry about using any computer in particular or having my files on it; I can access all of my current work at all times. With 256 megabytes of storage, the Lexar flash drive allows me to store Microsoft Word documents, lengthy PDF files, and web page source codes without using even a quarter of the drive's capacity.

Purchasing the Lexar JumpDrive Secure II for under $20 was perhaps the best investment I made in the past several months; it has saved me far more money in the cost of printer paper and ink; I no longer need to print out hard copies of documents in order to carry them back and forth between the numerous places at which I work on a daily basis.

The cap of the flash drive can be easily attached to a keychain. It is quite important that, unlike certain other flash drive designs, the cap rather than the actual drive is the part to which the keychain is linked. If the body of the drive were attached to the keychain, the keys would dangle from the drive as it was being used. This means that the keys would, by their weight, force the drive to be improperly attached to the computer's USB port; or, if the port were located in front of the computer, the keys would occupy some of the same space as a person's hands moving along a keyboard. If the keychain is attached to the cap, the drive itself is separable from the keys, and none of these problems occur.

Having the cap attached to the keychain instead of the actual flash drive leaves you with a gaping, wide-open security hole! What you are keeping safe on the keychain is essentially the cap! The flash drive can easily detach from the lid; some lids only slide on while other better ones actually click-on--but all plastic lids will wear out eventually. I would rather lose the lid than the flash drive from my keychain. A better idea would be to use a detachable ring on the keychain for the flash drive so key weight is not a factor. Oh well, not everybody can be smart like me!!
