I have to admit that I use my PC as much as
I can, and try to avoid almost everything else when it comes to storage, with
the exception of NAS. But in life things aren’t always black and white. There
are times that you have to use your phone or tablet, and most times on these
devices storage can be a limiting factor. 

So for that reason Lexar has released their
new M20 JumpDrive, a flash drive that promises to close any gaps between
Android and PC, with a Micro USB2 port in one side and a standard USB3 on the
other side.

Before I start this review I would
recommend that you take closer look at the Lexar site, by simply following this

at the packaging and the presentation of the Lexar M20 JumpDrive.

Specifications

Let's take a look at the specifications of
the Lexar M20 JumpDrive as they appear on the Lexar website.

It's time to find out more on what’s inside
the Lexar M20JumpDrive, I will be using a tool called Flash Drive Information which
you can get from here.

 

We can see that the Lexar M20 is using a
Silicon Motion SM3267 controller, and as expected the memory is manufactured by
Micron.

Lexar's M20 JumpDrive is available in three
capacities, 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB, offers read speeds up to 120MB/Sec and write speeds
from 20MB/Sec for the 16GB drive, up to 55MB/Sec for the 32Gb and 64GB. Needless
to say that 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...
