I didn’t test them since few people are competent to test the quality of encryption software, and I’m not one of them.

In addition it comes with EncryptStick Lite software which, as the name suggests, can encrypt the JumpDrive to stop anyone from accessing its contents.

Macs, Windows computers and both Android and iOS devices can read FAT32 natively.

The Lexar P20 USB 3.0 128GB JumpDrive comes pre-formatted in FAT32, so it’s widely compatible with computers and portable devices. The slider for the retractable plug is fairly stiff, and consequently very secure. The P20 is fairly large as USB drives go, measuring 64mm long with the plug retracted, 23mm wide and 11mm tall. You’d have to say if it went anywhere close to those claims, particularly on writing, that would be pretty amazing. The packaging claims for the P20 JumpDrive: 400MB/s read, and 270MB/s write. Remember, unlike memory cards for cameras and such, there are no standards for labelling thumb drive speed (apart from the usual prohibitions of false advertising). Now the Lexar P20 thumb drive packaging – quite handsome packaging as befits a $150 device – has figures printed on it of a kind which generally aren’t printed on thumb drive packaging. Flash storage tends to be rather slower on writing than reading, so typically these USB 3.0 drives were less disappointing when data was going in the other direction. You see, interface specification is one thing, but once the data is through the interface it has to be written to memory, and wildly varying qualities and speeds of memory are used in thumb drives. Other USB 3.0 drives I’ve tried since then have been of varying speeds, but none have been really impressive. Just 5 or 6MB/s, or a tenth of what USB 2.0 ought to support! I bought an 8GB brand name USB thumb drive, plugged it into the USB 3.0 socket and copied some files to it. I hadn’t done the arithmetic, though, to see that almost all USB 2.0 thumb drives ran quite a bit slower than 60MB/s, let alone 625MB/s. USB 3.0 bumps that up to 5Gbps (625MB/s), a more than ten fold increase. Remember, USB 2.0 has a top speed of 480Mbps (60MB/s). I by then had a computer with USB 3.0 support. It was December 2013 when I decided to buy a USB 3.0 thumb drive, thinking it would be cool to back up some files quickly instead of at the usual crawl. If you want a high performance thumb drive, make sure it has actual specifications on the packaging Background

That is, the Lexar P20 USB 3.0 128GB JumpDrive (Lexar’s name for a memory stick/thumb drive). Or perhaps Ferrari might be better, given what we’re about to discover with it. Lexar helped out with a memory stick that is kind of a Rolls Royce. Specifically, my disappointment with the speed of so-called USB 3.0 thumb drives. But what prompted me to ask Lexar for a thumb drive to review was speed.
