Re: Filename length (Doctormoon) Actually, I've experienced a similar problem with the Jumpdrive (see DoctorMoon's review). I use OS X, and I get an error message when trying to copy files with certain special characters in them. From what I can tell, the Jumpdrive specifically has problems with slashes "/" or "\" as used when naming files with dates, or in certain Microsoft Entourage script files. I solved the problem by changing all the slashes to periods, or just not including those particular files on the Jumpdrive. Besides which,... more info
Great external storage device I've used several external storage devices for backing up my projects and carting them back and forth between work and home and the Lexar JuimpDrives are by far and away the best I've used. I own both the 256 meg and the 1 gig versions and use them heavily (dozens of times a day). I've never had a lick of trouble with either one. They're tough, they're fast and on a modern OS (I use XP, 2000/2003 server and Fedora from Redhat) they work fabulously.

doctormoon is a troll doctormoon is probably not telling the whole story about his filename pronlems - what did he do to screw things up? The Lexar is amazingly fast & reliable and works in Windows AND Linux which is quite the opposite of the Sandisk product he claims to prefer. Do not get a Sandisk usb drive - it sucks. Do a google for Sandisk Cruzer & you'll see what I mean.
Anyway, I highly recommend the Lexar Jump Drive.
DoctorMoon is an Idiot DoctorMoon, the reason you can only get eight characters is probably because you are trying to use this with DOS or Windows 98 (Same Difference) or because you do not actually own one.
If you use this on a Mac or Win 2000 (not tested XP), you can load it with as many characters as your OS and the application will allow.
The Jump Drive is just about the coolest gadget you can get your high school or college child these days, except maybe an iPod, iPodMini, Archos AV320, or a PocketPC 2215.
