Full details
The Lexar JumpDrive M900 USB flash drive is designed for users who need fast, reliable, and secure portable storage. Its primary benefit is enabling quick transfer of large files and expanding device capacity with its USB Type-C interface. A potential caveat is its specific USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) speed, which may not be the absolute fastest available on the market. This 64 GB drive offers read speeds up to 300 MB/s, a durable metal design, and Lexar DataShield for data security.

FAQs
What is the difference between USB 3.2 Gen 1 and Gen 2?
USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1 or USB 3.0) offers speeds up to 5 Gbps (Gigabits per second). USB 3.2 Gen 2 offers double that, up to 10 Gbps. The JumpDrive M900 operates at Gen 1 speeds.
Can I use this drive with my older USB Type-A ports?
This specific model (LJDM900064G-BNQNG) features a USB Type-C connector and is not directly compatible with USB Type-A ports without an adapter or a different model of the JumpDrive M900 that may have a Type-A connector.
How do I encrypt my files using Lexar DataShield?
Lexar DataShield is typically software that needs to be installed from the drive itself or downloaded from Lexar's website. Follow the on-screen prompts to set up a password and encrypt the desired files or partitions.
Will this drive work with my smartphone or tablet?
If your smartphone or tablet has a USB Type-C port that supports USB OTG (On-The-Go) functionality, the drive should work for file storage. Check your device's specifications for USB OTG compatibility.
What is the warranty period for the Lexar JumpDrive M900?
Lexar typically offers a limited lifetime warranty on many of its flash drives. However, it's best to check the specific warranty terms provided by Lexar or the retailer for this model.
Can I format this drive to a different file system?
Yes, you can reformat the drive to file systems like exFAT (for cross-compatibility between Windows and Mac) or NTFS (for Windows). Note that reformatting will erase all data on the drive.
Troubleshooting
Drive not recognized by computer
Ensure the USB Type-C connector is fully inserted. Try a different USB Type-C port on your device. Test the drive on another computer to rule out a device-specific issue. Restart your computer.
Slow transfer speeds
Verify that the drive is connected to a USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) Type-C port or higher. Ensure the file system is not fragmented (if applicable). Close other applications that may be using significant system resources.
Cannot read or write files
Safely eject the drive and reinsert it. Check the drive's health using disk utility tools on your operating system. Consider reformatting the drive (note: this will erase all data).
Lexar DataShield encryption issues
Ensure you remember your encryption password. If forgotten, data may be irrecoverable. Consult Lexar support for advanced recovery options, which may not always be possible.
