Pros & Cons
Pros
Compact and portable. Works with both usb and usb-c. Attaches to keychain and lanyard. Seems very durable.
Cons
Write speeds are unusably slow, and getting worse. No where near the advertised write speed. This thing is useless unless you’re only transferring really small files. After a quick format the drive reads as only 32gb.
It got corrupted within 2 days of proper use. A few time even crashing my file system on windows. Will need to look for a more robust solution.
Was expecting better from lexar. Not good. Now it is loose.
Buyer beware. It isn’t feasible. Goes back to the seller. Is this fraud?
Highlights
Quality
This thing is sturdy and full metal all the way around.
The materials seem durable and i like how it has the ability to be attached to keys or a lanyard.
Been carrying this in my pocket for a year and just had it get into an overheat situation somehow using an extension cable.
And every other drive i've tried has been cheap flimsy plastic, or the slider style that slides back in while youre trying to insert it.
Price
I had initially bought a cheapo flash drive and it almost cost me my files.
You would think that because of the size and price it would be of questionable quality, but it is not.
Packaging/appearance
I only wish it came with a lanyard as it is so small i had a hard time finding something that would fit into the small attachment area.
Competitiveness
I use the lexar flash drive to transfer music from my imac music store to my android phone which i use primarily as my mp3 music player.

The drive gets incredibly hot during use though
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
At the end of the test it was so hot that i had to wait a few minutes to remove it from my laptop because it was genuinely that hot

But that test completely fills the drive and then rapidly reads every file it filled the drive with

In regular use it still gets pretty hot but not scaldingly hot
