Next is the Microsoft Office simulations, Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Just as the Adobe tests, this is an application simulation on the drive as if it were an OS or local drive to the system, and not an external portable drive.
The Lexar Portable SSD is again an average performer here, and slightly behind the older Lexar Professional Workflow DD512. Results-wise though, it’s truly an SSD, and performs well.
Compared to the older Lexar Professional Workflow DD512, you’re not going to notice any performance difference, and it’s only slightly behind the local drives. Again, results-wise though, it’s truly an SSD and performs well.

The Lexar Portable SSD is a fast drive, and it is small and compact enough to fit in your pocket. At 62 grams, without the cable, it's also not going to cause a lot of backpack or suitcase issues. There are plenty of portable SSD's out here, and unless you are transporting a sizable back up, you need to consider an SSD external drive, and this is where the Lexar Portable SSD comes good. It's fast enough to be impressive and it's cheap enough to be affordable.
