How to use

Connect the Lexar external SSD to a host device using the included USB Type-C cable or a compatible USB-C connection. For maximum throughput, connect to a host that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2x2; otherwise the drive will operate at the highest mutually supported USB speed. Use standard file manager tools to copy, move and manage files. No additional drivers are typically required for modern operating systems, but check the host device’s compatibility and file system support before initial use.

Recommendations

To maintain performance and longevity, avoid exposing the aluminium housing to extreme temperatures outside the 0–50 °C operating range, keep the drive on a stable surface during heavy transfers to ensure airflow, and periodically back up critical data to a secondary location. When moving large projects, verify that the host supports USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 to fully utilize read/write speeds up to 2000/1800 MB/s.
