![]() ![]() Some kind of wear levelling or other housekeeping going on inside? The dips didn’t seem to coincide with opening and closing files. What the graph doesn’t show is those dips were usually complete stops for a second or two. It took 150.6 seconds for a respectable overall speed of 37.7Mbps, but as the Windows graph shows, it spent a lot of time running at nearly 90Mbps, slightly exceeding that a couple of times, and then would slow right down. Reading from the JumpDriveĬopying the same package back (after an eject and reinsertion) was a different proposition. Looks to me like the read speed rating was pretty spot on. The coping was fairly smooth, starting at 149MB/s but with the rate starting to wobble a bit between that high and as low as 120MB/s. That package took 41.2 seconds to copy to my desktop’s SSD from the Lexar JumpDrive Tough for an average speed of 137.8MB/s. There were 14 files and two folders, totalling 5.55GB. I used a bunch of video files for a speed test. The interface is USB 3.1, but of course that’s backwards compatible with older USB versions. ![]() Perhaps the NSA could eventually break it, but few others. It comes with “EncryptStick Lite” software so you can encrypt everything on the drive, if you like, with 256 bit AES encryption. Lexar says that the drive can be read from at up to 150MB/s and written to at up to 60MB/s. The other end has a decent sized loop for adding to a key ring or whatever. It works best grabbed on the wider dimension rather than on the flat. The cap is kind of rubberised and I found it hard to get off initially, because I was squeezing it for a better grip, which was in turn increasing its friction against the metal of USB connector. For those extremes, says the packet, the cap has to be on. Specifically, says Lexar, it can cope with pressures of up to 750 psi, which is fifty atmospheres, and it can cope with temperatures from -25☌ to 150☌, and it can be immersed in water at up to 30 metres. The Lexar JumpDrive Tough looks like a fairly standard USB drive, but it’s designed to be rugged. Now I’m looking at the Lexar JumpDrive Tough which, as the name suggests, is about keeping your data safe. We’ve looked at a lowish cost high capacity drive in the Lexar JumpDrive S45, and a high cost, high speed drive in the Lexar JumpDrive P20. I hope readers will indulge me as I dig into another flash drive, again from Lexar.
