Closer Look
The Lexar JumpDrive has been packed in exactly the same way as most other flash drives. The cardboard box package with a blister center shows how the product looks and is quite popular among flash drive manufacturers. It is a good choice as we see all that we need and the product is well protected.
The front side of the package includes the general description. In this case we have a 32GB drive running at 100MB/s read and 30MB/s write speeds. It is also using the USB 3.0 interface. In addition we can use encrypted passwords to protect our files. I think it sums up pretty much everything about the Lexar JumpDrive M10.
On the back of the package there is some additional description, warranty info and contact information.
The flash drive itself has a white and gray color scheme with a glossy upper part where we can find blue activity LED (inside that little triangle) and the capacity status bar which is working even when we are not using the flash drive. It is a pretty interesting feature which I have not seen on other products. We can quickly check if we can add some more data without plugging in the device. Very nice indeed!
On the back or lower side of the Lexar M10 resides small holes for a keychain (not included) and a couple of markings with the product number, country of origin (which is USA) and some other info that is less important for most users.
As you can see in the above picture, the Lexar M10 has a capless, sliding build which is a good idea but it feels less solid than in the other Lexar flash drives that we have had a chance to review like the Lexar P10. Maybe it is just a feeling. I guess that time will show as during all tests we had no problems with that.
On the flash drive there is EncryptStick software which helps to manage any encrypted files. If we do not want to encrypt any files then we can simply copy data to the flash drive but if we wish to use secure mode then we have to set it in EncryptStick software. It is easy to use so I do not think anyone will have any problems with that.
Before we can use it, we have to set password which can be simple or really complicated (as we can see in the below screen capture).
