Lexar JumpDrive S80 256GB USB 3.2 Flash Drive with 150MB/s Read

The Lexar JumpDrive S80 is a straightforward USB flash drive designed for moving large files quickly and keeping them safe. Its main appeal is the combination of decent USB 3.2 Gen 1 performance, with read speeds up to 150MB/s, and the inclusion of 256-bit AES encryption software. This makes it a practical choice for transferring work documents, photo libraries, or video clips while adding a layer of security that most basic drives lack. The retractable slider is a nice touch, eliminating the need for a separate cap that can be lost. Where it shows limitation is in its write performance. While reads are fast, the advertised write speeds are significantly lower. For tasks like backing up a large folder, you will notice the difference. The drive feels well-built and the software, though requiring a separate download, works as described. For the current sale price, it represents a balanced option if you value the encryption feature alongside faster-than-average transfer rates, rather than chasing the absolute fastest speeds on the market.
