Overview
Lexar builds this slim external SSD to connect over USB-C. It slips into a pocket and offers far quicker file access than a spinning hard drive.
Its tiny size and modern USB interface make it easy to carry projects between machines. The listing is almost empty, with no rated speeds, cable details or warranty.
Who it's for
Students and creators shuttling files between computers get a compact drive with generous room. Buyers who must compare rated speeds will find none listed.
Pros and cons
- Very small and light
- Flash storage, no moving parts
- Speeds not listed
- Warranty not stated
- Cable contents unknown
- Full speed needs a matching port
Performance notes
Real speed depends on the computer's USB port, since the double lane interface only runs at its top rate on ports that support it. Flash storage makes small file access quick compared with hard drives.
