Lexar Jumpdrive S57 USB 3.0 Flash Drive Review

Storage/Other by stefan @ 2017-06-06

As we have seen with the S75 JumpDrive model, the S57 ships with multiple color schemes, for an easier drive capacity identification. The drive does come with a slim design and incorporates a protective sliding cover that is semi-transparent, for a catchier look. Regarding the performances, we can see decent write speeds and good reads for an USB 3.0 drive; depending on the SKU we will go with, the drive performances will also be different.

Test Setup and Test Results

The testbench was composed from the following hardware:

CPU: Intel I5 4690K Retail @ stock

Motherboard: BIOSTAR GAMING Z97X

RAM: GeIL Black Dragon 4x4GB DDR2133 (@1600)

Video: Sparkle GTX 470 with stock and OMNI A.L.C.

Power Supply: Nexus RX-8500 850W modular

HDD: OCZ Vertex 4 240GB SSD

Case: Thermaltake Armor+ LCS, stock cooling

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64

The Lexar JumpDrive S57 USB 3.0 Flash Drive has arrived formatted FAT32:

To determine the flash drive read speeds, the HD Tune v5 utility was used; the read speeds are quite good with this particular model, while the writes are decent (when transferring data from mobile devices) as well for the 16GB variant:

Summary Graph (Read Performance)

To measure the real life performance, we have used the Total Commander application to copy to the flash drive and from the flash drive the same file and recorded the transfer speeds, after they have stabilized.
