Really "only" a full-plastic-part ...

Other customers wrote it already, but anyway know only when you hold the thing in their own hands, then you believe it. Yes, this USB key is really any part made of plastic. Except for the silicon of the chip because everything comes from plastic Giesser of Lexar's trust and nothing from the steel mill ...
And that manifests itself as follows:
# The thing is relatively tiny and weighs next to nothing.
# The shifting mechanism slips of 10 attempts to stick to infect, reliably at 8 back into the case back. Of necessity, get used to it and then fixed always with the fingers to slide.
# The USB connector cooked up in some USB ports a bit and then contacted not always reliable. Then get out and is again pure and happy you most. Although that would be a reason for exclusion, you get used to it, because the thing has first contact, it also does not lose him again, so no loose contact.
# The plug itself but although full plastic eh tight enough, so you must not be afraid to break the stick in normal conditions - you have to watch out even when "more solid" products.
# The body color of the 64GB model, well, really purple ;-) The thing rather not Displaying thus tearing in the fanclub Rapidler, except one legts on exclusion from St.Hanappi.
# Access LED: Yes, the Lexar has a - for me that was the main reason to buy!
It is located in the knob of the slide mechanism which has a deep triangular notch and exactly from the bottom, it will light out. Problem: You can see it only if the drive is correspondingly because the sides comes out no light.

Enough of the envelope, then the inner life!
For me, USB sticks are first tortured tidy before I make my two cents.
# These include several HDTach / HDTune crossings to determine the burst read rate and while I noticed something I had not experienced in any drive.
When you first run immediately after receipt of the device the data rate is always between 120 and 160 MB / s were a permanent zigzag pattern (average 145 MB / s), the last race after several days / weeks, a mixed picture revealed. Spread over the entire width corresponded in total only half the former data rates, the course of the rest remained stable without outliers at about 103 MB / s, the total average dropped to 125 MB / s.
# Principle, it must be mentioned that the Lexar MiB / MB, so the 1000 / 1024er- "trick" really drives until Excess, because of the 64 GiB only 59.6 GB left over even after reformatting. Mathematically, all the way down to the byte level is correct, but a slight "Bes ***".
# A USB flash drive regardless of Coleur can only judge with real data when reading and writing. So I use different data sets with small, medium and large files, each about 1 GB.
Burst data rates as just by HDTune and h2testw personal interest only for the classification of different sticks, but have no practical Bewandnis - unless you write and permanently and exclusively reads gigabyte large ISOs ...

On two different computers (up to max. Three years old, and with fast HDDs), both with upgedateten NEC / Renesas USB3.0 controllers, gives the following result:
* Large Files (20-100MB, average 50MB) ... READ = 62 MB / s
* Mean Files (5-20MB, average 10MB) ... READ = 60 MB / s
* Small files (0-5MB, cut 0.5MB) ... READ = 43 MB / s
Coincides with my other USB3.0 flash drives.

* Large Files (20-100MB, average 50MB) ... write = 25 MB / s
* Mean Files (5-20MB, average 10MB) ... write = 11 MB / s
* Small files (0-5MB, cut 0.5MB) ... WRITE = 9 MB / s
No kidding, while the values ​​are already rounded up ...
OK, not bad for write requests at USB sticks, but good USB2.0 flash drives also tend to these values ​​...

CONCLUSION:
=====
Would I buy the drive again?
- When comes to money, then yes.
- When comes to power, then NO.

Footnote: Although I have not yet 64GB Kingston HyperX chased by 66 Euro through my obstacle course, but I dare to say that there are certainly reasons for the doubling of the purchase price. However, I am not as ready cash my enemy to output only to a USB flash drive as much money as for a USB HDD ... ;-)
