USB Flash Drive with Capacity Meter

Many users think that usb flash drives are all the same. They look boring and can only be used to plug them into a usb port. The Lexar usb flash drive Jumpdrive Mercury adds one useful function to the usb drive.

The capacity of the usb drive is shown on the surface of the usb drive making it very easy to monitor the available storage capacity of the usb drive. I only got an usb drive that is not showing it’s available capacity making it hard to judge if the free space on the device is sufficient to copy all the needed files on it.

The capacity is shown on a ten bar capacity meter which equals the storage capacity percentage of the drive. The available storage is displayed even if the usb drive is not connected to a computer. The usb drives come with a capacity of either one or two gigabytes and look very stylish.

    If you’re going to do advertisements, please at least say so at the start of the post. This doesn’t even sound like your writing. GHacks loosing credibility is not something you want.

    I have one of these in a Secure II 16GB flavor. I’m trying to screw with the meter with partitions of different formats, ETC… It can’t possibly be flawless.

    It does have it’s ups and downs. It’s not instant. If you copy a folder and it takes a long time, it won’t update until the folder finishes copying.
