## Before you buy

- Usable space may be below the stated capacity after formatting. Devices must support external storage above 32GB. The listing says formatting on a device without that support can limit the drive to 32GB, with partition recreation in a computer's Disk Management offered as the recovery method.
- The listing describes security software with 256-bit AES encryption, but explicitly does not guarantee complete protection from unauthorised access or data loss.
- The stated maximum read speed is a claim, not a guaranteed transfer rate. Lexar says performance varies with the host, interface and usage. Its full 5Gbps requires USB 3.2 Gen 1 support on both the computer and cable, while USB 2.0 falls back to 480Mbps.

## A good fit for

- People who need a small USB-C drive for files or photo backup on compatible phones, tablets and laptops.
- Buyers who can use a USB-C connection and want a stated capacity of 64 GB.

## Less suited to

- People needing USB-A connectivity, which is not listed for this drive.
- People who require confirmed iCloud backup or guaranteed transfer speeds.

## Customer feedback

The supplied evidence contains aggregate ratings but no customer comments. The ratings are favourable within a small sample, but they do not show what buyers liked or whether the drive's speed, app backup or compatibility met their needs.

The listing specifies 64 GB and a USB Type-C connector. Compatible-device support is listed for smartphones, tablets and laptops.

Lexar says its app offers a Photo Backup function for iOS and Android. iCloud content backup is not supported yet.
