IOMeter IOPS Random Read next and a similar performance to the previous tests in the small file size support. The results are average until you get to the 64Kb and above range, though it’s beating the Crucial MX200 SSD again!
The IOPS performance is in a pretty respectable range at the higher file sizes, hinting at an obvious use for the drive, image, audio and video transfer. IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) is not an application workload like MB/s, but a capability marker. You’ll probably never use all IOPS in normal day usage, but it’s good to know they are there.

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.
