FAQs

What is the maximum read/write speed of this SSD?

The Lexar Professional Workflow Portable SSD 4TB offers read and write speeds of up to 2000MB/s, provided it's connected to a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port.

Is this drive waterproof and dustproof?

Yes, it is IP68 rated, meaning it offers superior protection against dust and can withstand submersion in water up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes.

Can I use this SSD with my older computer that only has USB 3.0 ports?

Yes, the SSD is backward compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 ports, but the transfer speeds will be limited to the maximum speed supported by those older USB standards.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The Lexar Professional Workflow Portable SSD comes with a 5-year limited warranty.

Does this SSD require external power?

No, this is a portable SSD that is powered directly via the USB Type-C connection.

How does the aluminum construction benefit the drive?

The aluminum housing provides enhanced durability, scratch resistance, and aids in heat dissipation, helping to maintain optimal performance during sustained high-speed operations.

Can I format this drive for use with both Mac and Windows?

Yes, formatting the drive to exFAT is recommended for seamless compatibility between macOS and Windows operating systems.

Troubleshooting

Drive not recognized by computer

Ensure the USB Type-C cable is securely connected to both the drive and the computer. Try a different USB port or cable. If using a USB hub, connect directly to the computer. Update your computer's USB drivers.

Slow transfer speeds

Verify that your computer's port is USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 for maximum performance. If using an older USB version, speeds will be limited. Close other applications that may be consuming system resources. Ensure the drive is formatted to a suitable file system (e.g., exFAT for cross-compatibility).

Drive becomes excessively hot

Some warmth is normal during heavy use due to the aluminum casing's heat dissipation. If it becomes uncomfortably hot, pause transfers and allow it to cool. Ensure there are no obstructions around the drive.

Intermittent connection or data transfer errors

Check the USB cable for damage. Try a different cable. Ensure your operating system and drivers are up to date. Format the drive if the issue persists (back up data first).
