This is the first external ssd I've bought, and all I can say is" excellent ", in terms of size, it's no bigger than a 10 cigarette packet, remember them?. Installation is a breeze , it comes with a usb lead, that will fit most phones, samsungs at least as that the phone I use, so can't confirm it'll work with all phones. I only use it with my laptop though, and for that I used the supplied adapter enabling me to use the USB port on the laptop. As stated Installation was a breeze, I use windows 10 64bit and the computer immediately recognised the drive and opened the explorer window. Windows 7 to 11 64bit are acceptable the included leaflet states. Also the option to 256bit encryption is offered with encryption software on the device , bearing in mind the data encrypted may be vital to other software your computer accesses, be careful what you encrypt. Speed is quoted as 1080mbs, well it may be, its certainly fast, its my fastest drive. As I've had it for three weeks I can't give any assurance about its long-term reliability, thus far there haven't been any issues. I would certainly recommend anyone wanting a ssd to consider Lex, 1tb, 2tb, 4tb, are available.

A good SSD, fast and efficient. Had it just over a year and still going strong. Plenty of storage capacity. Doesn't get overly hot when under heavy use. Loses one star due to the fact if you slightly knock it or move it during use it loses connection. 8/10

The Lexar ES3 External SSD is a powerhouse in every sense. With lightning-fast read speeds of up to 1050MB/s and write speeds close to 1000MB/s, transferring large files feels effortless. I use it for editing high-resolution videos and backing up important work, and it performs flawlessly every single time. Its compact size makes it easy to carry anywhere, while the sleek, modern design looks professional on any desk. Compatible with iPhone 15, Mac, PS5, Xbox, and PC – this SSD truly adapts to everything I need.

Super fast, comes with a good quality (although short) USB C to C cable. It was easy to connect to both Samsung phone and Windows laptop. Great portability- I couldn't believe how small and light it was! The capacity is huge- the 1TB version has more than enough space for my daughter's photos. Blazing fast read and write speeds at 1000MB/s made moving and copying thousands of photos and videos a breeze! I am extremely pleased with this product and confident it will last many years.

Reliable and keenly priced at the time of purchase

A very nice looking, effective and (so far) reliable external SSD. Just plugs in with one USB connection, format to whatever you need it for (for me it's principally for music and other media) and you're set and running. The drive generates a tiny bit of heat when in heavy use, nothing excessive, and is silent whilst doing so. It's very fast for both read and write and comes in a smart brushed aluminium casing, altogether an excellent product, worth every penny and I'd gladly buy again should I need another.

I have two SSD drives namely SanDisk and Western Digital. I have a cd collection on my computer totalling 667 GB. Both those SSD drives copy in 50 minutes each. This new one would take over 7 hours and 50 minutes to copy 667gb. I reset this three times and on all occasions it still said 7 hours 50 minutes. It is too slow despite promising much but delivers very little. I've sent it back for a refund.

Macht was es soll. Leicht und handlich

Parfait fonctionne très bien et très rapide au transfert venants du Mac. Je l’utilise sur MacBook Air.

Very good Speed

Ya he comprado dos veces este producto, que utilizo para conservar copias de mi archivo fotográfico y de vídeo. El primero ya tiene casi un año de uso diario y no me ha defraudado. Totalmente satisfecho en capacidad, prestaciones i velocidad de lectura/escritura; he podido editar imágenes directamente desde el SSD externo sin problemas. Sin duda lo recomiendo y volveré a comprarlo para seguir conservando y ampliando las copias de mi archivo.

Uso questo SSD da qualche settimana per trasferire video pesanti e fare backup veloci, e finora l’esperienza è stata molto positiva. 📌 Prestazioni e velocità I trasferimenti sono rapidi e stabili: con file di grandi dimensioni (video 4K e librerie di lavoro) non ho riscontrato cali di velocità o disconnessioni. Buona anche la gestione del calore: durante le copie più pesanti diventa tiepido, ma mai fastidioso. 📱 Compatibilità Testato con iPhone 15 e iPhone 16, riconosciuto immediatamente tramite USB-C senza necessità di formattazioni particolari. Perfetto per chi registra video ProRes o salva foto RAW. 💾 Capacità reale e affidabilità La capacità da 2TB è ideale per chi lavora con molti file multimediali o per avere un backup completo sempre a portata di mano. Finora nessun problema di corruzione dati o letture lente. 🧱 Design e costruzione Molto compatto e leggero, perfetto da tenere in tasca o nello zaino. La scocca sembra resistente e offre una discreta protezione in caso di urti o cadute leggere. ✔️ Pro • Velocità di trasferimento elevate e costanti • Compatibile con iPhone 15/16 e dispositivi USB-C • Design robusto e molto portatile • Non scalda in modo eccessivo • Ottimo rapporto capacità/qualità ❗ Contro • Il cavo in dotazione è un po’ corto (classico per molti SSD esterni) 🔚 Conclusione Un SSD esterno affidabile, veloce e davvero pratico, perfetto sia per uso professionale che quotidiano. La capacità da 2TB e la compatibilità diretta con smartphone e computer lo rendono una soluzione completa per chi cerca portabilità e sicurezza dei dati.
