Does the job, but does it slowly........2007-10-07
I purchased the Lexar Firefly 1GB from the student bookstore at my University for only $14.00. I use it often and it works perfectly for all of my papers and text documents. Anything larger takes some time to load and interact with though.
I was disappointed by the speed issue as I hoped to use the flash drive with portlable firefox and other small, usb drive based application. The device is far to slow to do this though.
Since it is really only good for storage of small files I would suggest buying one of the fireflies with smaller capacity. If all you are doing is storing text files the smaller drives should do and are a better value.
Very convenient.......2007-09-22
I have had several USB drives and this one is by far the most convenient. The clear cap connects nicely to a key ring and the drive can be quickly removed for use. I highly recommend this drive for anyone who wants to carry a flash drive with them.
So Slooooooooow.......2007-06-25
I really can't begin to describe how slow the transfer rate of the Lexar firefly is. The transfer rate makes it nearly unusable for anything but a few small files. It can take literally HOURS to transfer 500 MB if it is a bunch of small files you are transferring. It is a little bit faster with fewer larger files. However, I recommend looking for something else. I am very disappointed with my purchase.
Decent value, would give it 2-3 stars if I could change it.... .......2007-02-23
I'm sure small size and appearance have their merits, but above all, a product should work. To me, nothing else matters if it doesn't work, and this drive is unfathomably slow. It's slow to the point that I'd rather use a floppy disk. If it's too slow to use, no one is going to find it effective.
I don't think I'm the intended customer for this product. I would never have chosen a flash drive that had the lanyard hole on the case. As another reviewer remarked, if you put a string through the hole in the case, you could lose the flash drive. The drive snaps in securely, so this is a minor point. Still, it's poor design by Lexar.
As I stated, my wife gave me this as a gift. Normally, I don't buy any electronics without thoroughly researching them. This is a $50 item, so I thought I'd just use it. I've sorely disappointed.
The market may be fragmenting, and this may be targeted to youths who appreciate the many colors. But I can't imagine a youth, who will likely be moving audio, video, and photos using this drive. It's just too slow.
UPDATE: 6/26/07: I've been using the firefly a lot, and though it is still ghastly slow in some instances, it has performed well, especially for the money. I notice the slowless mostly when I am moving directories that contain large numbers of files or subfolders, which is common in the less expensive drives. It also seems to periodically choke on larger files.
I'm still not over the fact that it is so small and easy to lose -- to easy. I think we've reached diminishing returns on small size for jump drives. I don't want to make them any smaller, I'm already past the point where i can keep track of it. Also, I still dislike the fact that there is no lanyard hole on the physical drive itself. I would never attach one to the flimsy plastic cover and risk losing the drive.
It has been a good little drive, despite my initial complaints. However, I'd look for something faster and sturdier in the future.
Okay but nothing fancy.......2006-11-14
The Lexar firefly USB flash/thumb drive is a small and compact drive that does the job. If you need a tiny flash drive for work or for casual use... it should do fine. However, overall it leaves you with a feeling that the designers could have done better and could've spent a bit more time ....well, designing it. Here are some pros and cons that I've found with these fireflys. The one I have is the 4GB, however they come in an assortment of memory capacities including 256MB(red), 512MB(green), 1GB(blue), 2GB(black), and 4GB(white). Each memory comes in a unique color. For example, the 4GB seems to only come in white, and 2GB comes in black.
Pros: Very small compact design (about as small as the Sandisk Micros), and clear protective case seems to clip and hold onto the drive pretty well. Cool blue LED at the end that flashes while reading and writing. Reads and Writes data pretty fast (though seemingly not as fast as Sandisk drives)
Cons: Pre-loaded Software on drive automatically tries to install itself on computer(personally, I hate the fact that the drive comes with pre-loaded software, but you may not mind). Plastic protective case does not come with a string or key-ring to put on keychain(only a hole to slip a key ring or string through). The Flash drive itself does not have any holes to attach directly to keyring, so if you lose the protective case, there's no way to attach the drive to your keys.(they should've included some extra protective cases in different colors just in case) The build quality looks cheap and not very sturdy looking. Colors are plain and ordinary looking with very little choices. I don't like being stuck with one color choice per memory capacity. They should've just gone with black, silver, or metallic hues.
Conclusion: If you're just looking for a nice, simple and compact portable drive with a variety of capacities, this should do the trick. Also, the price on these are dropping fast and therefore are a good value for the money. However, if your data is very important to you, you may want to go with a sturdier model (like the Sandisk Titanium)... but expect to spend more money. This flash-drive does what it claims... though it doesn't claim much. No many bells and whistles here... if you're a gadget freak, you may be left wanting more... like yours truly. However, if the price is right, it's hard to pass up a good deal. Thankfully I got a good deal (Psst ...not on Amazon)

Product Description
Executive is made from nice-looking textured leather. The case is semi-PDA-style in that it uses an internally reinforced hard front flap to protect the minis face most of the time, but opens to reveal a leather sheathe and vinyl iPod mini screen/Click Wheel protector. Executives flat back is also reinforced, while its sides, top, and bottom are soft and flexible. Externally, the case looks very attractive, and certainly conveys the appearance of being worth more than its asking price.
Executive does a very good job of protecting your iPod mini against typical types of damage. The front flap wraps around the right hand side of the case, sealing closed with a chromed snap on Executives back, and Kroo has used strips of leather to cover both the minis top and bottom surfaces. When closed, the case covers the minis entire front, back, and sides, with tiny holes left for the Hold switch, headphone port, and Dock Connector port. As with many cases, there are also holes that expose the minis bottom corners, which arent strictly speaking necessary, but do ease the process of inserting and removing the iPod.
