Lexar JumpDrive S80 256GB USB 3.1 Flash Drive

The Lexar JumpDrive S80 is a 256GB USB flash drive using a standard Type-A connector. It operates on the USB 3.1 specification to provide portable storage for documents, photos, and video files. Read speeds reach up to 150MB/s for quick access to large items. The retractable black housing protects the connector when not in use.

Suits users who need simple.

This drive suits anyone wanting hardware-free file transfer between computers with Type-A ports. The included 256-bit AES encryption software creates a password-protected vault for sensitive data. Buyers who need more than 256GB of capacity should look at higher-capacity options. Those requiring USB Type-C connectivity or faster write performance will need a different drive.

Capacity is 256GB with up to 150MB/s read speed

The single specification that decides fit is the 256GB capacity combined with a maximum read speed of 150MB/s. Write performance reaches up to 60MB/s for saving files. USB 3.1 Gen 1 compatibility ensures function with USB 3.0 and 2.0 hosts. Verify your device has a Type-A port before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 256-bit AES encryption software on the Lexar JumpDrive S80?

Plug the USB Type A connector into a Windows or macOS computer; the drive mounts automatically. Run the pre-loaded installer, set a vault password, and the software creates an encrypted partition — do not format the drive first or the installer will be lost.

What maintenance will the 256GB JumpDrive S80 need over time?

No scheduled maintenance is required. Keep the retractable connector closed when not in use to protect the contacts, and eject the drive in the OS before unplugging to prevent file-system corruption.

What limit appears first during sustained writes to the 256GB drive?

The write speed ceiling of up to 60MB/s is reached before thermal throttling becomes a factor; sustained large-file transfers will plateau at that rate.
