    This is a SSD expansion dock for the Lexar HR2. You get ~476GB visible in Windows as an external SSD or a redundant backup for your photos. You can connect it to the dock or directly via the included USB 3.0 A-B cable.It's fast and the LEDs to show capacity available are quite handy.

    I now own 3 of these hard drives. I use them extensively for video production and have been very pleased with the speed, portability, and quality of connection. There's no chance of these coming accidentally unplugged or losing connection. IN general I'm not very cautious with these. I throw them in a bag and take off for the day. They boot up quickly and I haven't had any issues. The major con is they only have one port so you can't daisy chain them, however they do sell a 4 bay hub, which will allow you to access more drives simultaneously.

    I'm giving this 4 stars because I'm wary about storage lately. I've been burned a couple times with media, however this little unit I've been using for 2 months now, it so far has worked flawlessly, if I feel the same in a year I will up my rating, and adjust it based on performance

    Second one of these I've bought - first failed just prior to end of warranty (2 years) but didn't get reported in time so I got nothing. Asked if they could give partial credit (especially since I had bought the tower with 2 additional card readers) but nope. So I'll give it three stars. First one should not have failed so quickly (I have many other SSD's as a comparison). As mentioned, I've purchased the tower so I am rather locked into the brand/model. The new unit is working well enough. It's currently formatted as ExFat under OS X and the capacity LED's seem to work. May reformat as HPFS+ and we'll talk more then!

    It started corrupting folders one by one. The "lead Lexar tech support guy" was zero help. He suggested re formatting it (which would erase the entire drive). Or sending it off to someone at my own expense to try to retrieve everything. Could not say for sure if the other Lexar drives that I have full of work will do the same thing. He says it happens after lots of use. I'm sorry... WHAT???!! Will not purchase this brand ever again.

    Weird that the default criteria for this review included “Warmth” and “Thickness” ... LOL! But I love this little drive. Speedy as heck, and I have it installed in a lexar 4 slot card reader. If I had any complaint (which I don’t) it would be that it is so lightweight that I am afraid I will lose it when it is not in the reader.

    Decent construction (quality plastic), speed, and durability. This would be a five star product, and I'd consider buying more, but despite what the ad copy says it doesn't play well with MacOS. In order to use all the features (like the status LED on the front) the drive must be formatted at ExFAT. Mac OS will read and write files to ExFAT drives but there is no journaling and I'm battling a lot of corruption, especially with large audio projects. I want to like this drive but I've never had a drive this bad. I've put up with it for weeks but I just don't trust it. I'm going to reformat it to HFS+ or APFS and see if that makes a difference.

    I bought this item to help speed up the load times on my Xbox One. The usb port on the Xbox One powered up the drive and recognized it as a compatible external drive. I moved some of the bigger games on to the external drive and the load times are marginally better but no noisy external hard drive and no additional power supply needed.

    A lack of product documentation made this one a science project, the SSD drive formatted fine on my iMac, but the 'gas gauge' LEDs on the front did not work properly, wasted time with tech support to learn they only work with ex-FAT format, reformatted and the LEDs work fine now. Comes with a USB cable, I use mine with my laptop and my Lexar workstation at my home office.
