Customer Reviews

34 of 35 people found the following review helpful Lexar Echo 128 gb USB drive, October 20, 2011 By  Dale Thorn (Seal Beach CA) - See all my reviews    This review is from: Lexar Echo MX 128 GB Backup Flash Drive LEHMX128BSBNA (Personal Computers) I've had this USB drive for 2 weeks so far, and it has performed perfectly. I have about 34,000 files I store on it, which totals about 55 gb at this point in time. I expect to gradually increase the files to perhaps 80 gb over the next year or so, and I will use a second 128 gb drive as insurance in case either one should fail. I've used the 64 gb Lexars before this, and they worked well too. The speed of these drives is good reading (on Windows XP SP3), but writing averages about 4 megabytes per second long-term for ad-hoc writing. I've been criticized in the past for quoting low speeds like this, but I have 30 or more flash drives, a Dell desktop, Samsung laptop (both WinXP), a Macbook Air, and a Mac desktop, and that's really all the speed you get once you get your files backed up the first time and do incremental backups after that, writing only the files that recently changed. Note: This USB drive does not come with a cap for the USB connector.

This review is from: Lexar Echo MX 128 GB Backup Flash Drive LEHMX128BSBNA (Personal Computers) Compared to my other 8gb usb drive, it writes/reads large files at a much faster speed of ~25MB/s. My 8gb usb drive writes large files at ~4mb/s However, it's very slow at write/reading numerous small files, much slower than my smaller usb drive. It also lags when I try to browse directories and files in it. But given its very large storage space of 128GB, I guess I'm supposed to use it to store very large files in the first place. I'm happy with this purchase, but I'll be using it in conjunction with my 8gb usb drive to avoid the slow random access speed. Update: I was probably wrong to assume the read/write speed depends on the drive only. My 8gb usb drive is formatted with FAT32 (which may have accounted for the slow speed) and my Lexar with NTFS. Later, I formatted the Lexar to exFAT and the lag was gone - small files write faster. However, read/write speed for large files has dropped to 15mb/s, which was a fair trade-off. In short, choose between FAT32, exFAT and NTFS for your needs. FAT32 seems very responsive for small files but place a 4GB limit on the individual file size and only does 4~5MB/s at most. Lexar came formatted with this if I remembered correctly. exFAT is a tradeoff between responsiveness for small files and write speed for large files (15mb/s). NTFS is very slow for numerous small files but the fastest for very large files (25mb/s).

This review is from: Lexar Echo MX 128 GB Backup Flash Drive LEHMX128BSBNA (Personal Computers) Although the product literature claims the 128 GB version works with Mac OSX, this is not correct as regards the capacity meter nor is it true with regards to speed. This meter does not work properly on the Mac for any of the formatting options that I tried (NTFS, MS-DOS(Fat) and exFAt). It also does not work with any of the standard Mac formats. The Lexar web site has numerous FAQs, but none mentions this issue. Thus, if you have a Mac, and the capacity meter is important, you should not buy this drive. The speed of this drive is also affected by the formatting. When any of the standard windows formats are used with Macs, the speed drops to half for both read and write relative to the speeds advertised. This may be due to the Mac having to convert data for the format. But since Macs read the windows formats, but none of my PCs read Mac formats, the windows formats are preferred. The above negative comments do not apply for Windows users. When tested on my PC, the speeds were very close to those advertised. This drive needs a firmware update for use on Macs, and I returned the drive. My hope is they will update this drive in the near future so it actually works with Macs. Update: 20 May 2012 After reading this review, a representative of Lexar contacted me and confirmed that one cannot use this flash drive on a Mac using Mac formatting if one wishes to use the capacity meter. Indeed, the capacity meter will only work if the original formatting is left unchanged from the MS-DOS(Fat) format. Any attempt to change this format will likely confuse the firmware and disable the capacity meter, even if one reformats the drive back to MS-DOS(fat). I ordered a second flash drive to see if I could get this to work with my Mac by not reformatting. I am happy to report that the meter works, but because I am using the original MS-DOS(fat) format, the write and read speeds are roughly half of those reported. This slowdown is due at least in part to the Mac having to do conversions when reading and writing data, I think. I have decided to live with the slower speed so I have the capacity meter working. What ticks me off is that there is absolutely no discussion of this issue on the web site or in the included documentation. Until the web site is updated with the information that is above, I will keep the rating for this device at 2. Users deserve not only good hardware, but honest and complete documentation.
