Here at ASE Labs, we've got the Lexar 2GB FireFly on the review block to see where the drive ranks among the rest.
About Lexar
Packaging
All of design work on this product is sleek. Even the packaging comes in a very clean appealing package which draws your eye to the product. On the front of the package, it informs the consumer what type of files this USB drive can store and brags about its high-speed and extreme portability. While other USB flash drives come in clam shell packaging requiring you to have a blade on you to open them, the FireFly is secured in a plastic casing wrapped with cardboard. This allows for extremely simple opening of the item.
One the reverse side it shows what operating systems this USB flash drive is supported on, which are Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Apple OS X. We tested the FireFly on both Windows 7 and OS X and it ran perfectly. Since it is USB mass storage, it will work on any modern operating system.
