In this article we will concentrate upon another USB Flash Drive from Lexar, the JumpDrive S45 which operates on the USB 3.0 bus and features a very compact housing. The product is available in 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and 128GB capacities, each sporting a different chassis color for an easier identification. The product is shipped inside a cardboard/plastic slim enclosure, which allows us to see how the drive really looks like, instead of having a photo shown in front. The packaging also features an indicator of read performances, along with some of the drives’ main features:

The back side of the packaging does come with some words regarding the product warranty, written in different languages:

After removing the JumpDrive S45 from its original packaging, we will see how small it really is; with this design, Lexar has opted for a “plug it and forget it” usage type (we can travel or move our laptop/convertible without the need of unplugging the drive from the USB 3.0 port, unless we need it for other purposes). The USB 3.0 connector is also protected by a transparent plastic cover:

The protective cover holds onto the connector with a certain amount of force, which is good because this way we won’t lose it during travel:

While the frontal area of the drive had the Lexar logo printed, along with the total storage capacity, its back do does not feature any additional inscriptions:

The teal outer layer is complemented by a white inner layer, which helps distribute the activity LED light inside even better:

In the frontal area of the USB connector we will be able to see two layers of differently-colored plastic (black and blue):

For keeping the product even more portable, Lexar has provided a small lanyard hole on the transparent top cover:

After plugging the JumpDrive S45 in a spare USB port, we will get to see the activity LED light blinking in a blue color:
