It's a fact that there are lots of USB3
drives out there and more options when it comes to drives that are affordable,
but the problem with most of them is that they have a hard time keeping up with
USB2 drives especially when it comes to write speed making them pretty much
useless to the user that wants something more out of their USB3 flash drive. For
Lexar however the word 'affordable' doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice the
write speed that USB3 has to offer and at the same time you can have some very
impressive read speeds with a simple and colourful design. 

The time has come for Lexar to introduce the
S25 JumpDrive, which as you can guess replaces the old S23 and we can expect that
there will be some small improvement in read/write speed as usually happens
with newer products.

Specifications

Let's take a look at the specifications of
the Lexar S25 JumpDrive as they appear on the Lexar website.

To find out more about what’s inside the
Lexar S25, I will be using a tool called Flash Drive Information which you can
get from here.

 

We can see that the Lexar S25 is using a
Silicon Motion SM3267 controller and I am sure that the memory is also made by
micron.

The Lexar S25 JumpDrive is available in four
capacities, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB, all four drives have also unique
colours. The Lexar S25 promises read speeds up to 150MB/Sec and write speeds from
60MB/Sec for the 32GB, 64 and 128GB drives, to 130MB/Sec read and 25MB/Sec
write speed for the 16GB. The drive is compatible with the majority of the
latest OSs, including Linux, Mac, and Windows.

Now it's time to put the flash drive to the
test and see what it can deliver. Let's start our tests

Now let's start testing the drive with
the NTFS file-system...
