a 64 gig flash drive with USBC for 25
0:13
out Dave Taylor here again and this time
0:16
I'm looking at this this is the Lexar
0:20
m20c it's a lot of words let's just talk
0:23
about the specs it's a 64 gig uh flash
0:27
drive but it comes with both USB C and
0:30
USB 3.0 connections and you're looking
0:33
and you're saying I see neither that's
0:35
because it has a handy little slider so
0:37
I slide it one way there's our
0:40
USBC and if I slide it the other way
0:44
there's a USB 3.0 so really pretty cool
0:47
idea and a really nice little design and
0:49
it runs a USB 3.0 speeds so let me show
0:53
you let's just jump onto the computer
0:55
for a sec and I want you to count how
0:57
long it takes and keep in mind I'm
0:59
transferring 2 gab of data onto this
1:03
little flash drive now if you're used to
1:04
regular flash drives you'll be thinking
1:06
oh boy that's going to be a couple of
1:10
look okay here we are and you can see
1:13
the Lexar Drive is on my desktop and I
1:15
got a 2 gab movie I'm going to go ahead
1:17
and just copy it on and I'll let you see
1:22
takes and this is running the very
1:24
latest version of Mac OS 10 and again it
1:28
is 2 GB of data data being copied onto
1:31
the drive from the computer and write is
1:34
always slower than a read transaction so
1:38
to copy it back from the flash drive
1:40
will actually be even faster and we'll
1:42
do that in just a couple of seconds when
1:44
this is done and I got to say I have
1:47
spent so much time watching progress
1:49
bars move slowly that this is a real
1:51
pleasure so now let's rename this this
1:54
so this is on the flash drive just do
1:58
that and now I'm going to copy it back
2:00
onto the desktop so it'll have to copy
2:04
and let's see so again this is 2 GB of
2:08
data going about as fast as it possibly
2:13
connection and that's it done boom that
2:19
fast so that's it I mean
2:23
honestly pretty darn fast I'm really
2:26
really pleased with the speed of this
2:28
and I really like the design where it's
2:30
the USBC on one end and then the more
2:33
traditional USB 3.0 and it is backwards
2:36
compatible with USB 2.o so this will
2:39
work on a wide variety of computers and
2:41
of course the device itself you format
2:43
it how you want so it can be Mac or PC
2:46
or both if you use a general PC format
2:49
Macintosh can read it too so super
2:52
helpful 64 gig has a little keychain
2:55
holder if you want to put it on your
2:57
keychain and so let's talk about one
3:00
more thing before I tell you how much
3:03
costs right the one more thing is that
3:06
the downside of this is it's kind of a
3:09
cheap little piece of plastic I really
3:11
wish Lexar would have spent a little
3:13
more money and a little more engineering
3:15
to use better materials it just feels
3:18
like a cheap piece of plastic like I
3:21
said the little keychain holder that
3:24
again it's just plastic and even as I
3:27
slide it back and forth I feel at some
3:30
point it's going to stop having the
3:31
little Clicks in it and stuff and it's
3:33
just not going to work very well but the
3:36
flip side of that is that this jump
3:38
drive gives me 64 gig and super fast and
3:41
it is while its retail list price is
3:45
$41.99 which is where you uh pay for it
3:47
at lex.com if you go to amazon.com it's
3:52
$25.44 so this 64 gig jump drive with
3:56
USBC and USB 3.0 is 25 bucks at
4:00
amazon.com so honestly it's kind of hard
4:04
to go wrong at that price point and
4:06
maybe I should forgive Lexar a little
4:09
bit the fact that it doesn't feel super
4:11
tough but honestly for $10 more I would
4:14
have preferred something that maybe had
4:16
some metal rather than just be all
4:18
plastic but make up your own mind I will
4:21
say if you do have a new Macbook Pro and
4:24
you're D you know dying to figure out
4:26
how do I do flash drive how do I do a
4:28
thumb drive you know have some external
4:30
storage and have it be USBC this is a
4:33
really terrific and really good
4:35
budget-minded solution so with that I'll
4:38
keep using it and see how it goes and
4:40
this is Dave Taylor and
4:42
whoa you forgot something super
4:44
important you forgot to click that
4:46
subscribe button okay you have done so
4:50
awesome great thank you so much and I
4:52
will see you in my next video
