Rank #4 in Best 32GB USB Flash Drive 2026: 8 Ranked, Read vs Write
Lexar JumpDrive 32GB USB 3.1 Flash Drive (Black)
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Lexar JumpDrive 32GB is a USB 3.1 (Gen 1) flash drive in a black body with a retractable connector and a three-year limited warranty, and it sits at number four in this guide to eight 32 GB drives. It costs £10.35 and carries 4.5 stars from 3,691 ratings.
Its own spec sheet shows the split this guide keeps running into: read speed is given as 130 MB/s, while write speed is given as "10x faster than standard USB 2.0 drives". Those are two different units on the same page. The 130 MB/s can be lined up against other drives in the guide; the "10x" cannot, because the listing never converts it to MB/s and never says what a "standard USB 2.0 drive" writes at. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing — we have not tested the drive ourselves.

Questions people ask
How fast does the Lexar JumpDrive 32GB write?
The listing gives write speed only as "up to 10x faster than standard USB 2.0 drives" and never states a figure in MB/s, so it cannot be compared directly with the 130 MB/s read figure.
What read speed does the Lexar JumpDrive 32GB claim?
The listing states up to 130 MB/s read, and repeats that figure in the item highlight for model LJDS080032G-BNBAG.
Does the Lexar JumpDrive 32GB work in older USB ports?
Yes. Lexar lists it as USB 3.1 (Gen 1) compatible and backwards compatible with USB 3.0 and 2.0 devices, which means it will run at whatever speed the port it is plugged into allows.
Is the connector protected?
Yes. The listing describes a protective, retractable design, and lists "Retractable Connector" as a product feature.

The listing says files are securely protected by advanced security software using 256-bit AES encryption.
What warranty does the Lexar JumpDrive 32GB come with?
The listing gives a three-year limited product support and a three-year limited warranty.
