Specs That Matter
Let's talk performance. The Lexar 512 GB dual jump drive delivers impressive read/write speeds. You'll be moving files faster than you can say, "Wait, is this the right cable?" Of course, there's no cable required for this. The documentation says the read speeds are up to 170 megabytes per second. Read speed means reading from this device to wherever your computer and the write speeds from say your computer back to this device will be less than the read 170 megabytes per second.

USB Connectivity
This thing has USBA and USBC connectivity. It's basically bilingual. Plug it into your MacBook, your desktop, your friend's computer from 2012. It doesn't judge. Everything will work.

Mac Formatting
Now, when you go to use it and it doesn't work, don't worry, it's not broken. You need to format it. So, to format it on a Mac, go to Finder, Applications, Utilities, Disc Utility,

and we can see here the Lexar 512, of which 496 is usable. So, we're going to go up and select erase to format it. And under format, we're going to select since we're on a Mac, the top one, MacOS extended (journaled),
then select erase, and quickly done.

Windows Formatting
For Windows users, it might come formatted FAT32, which will only let you put files onto it of up to 4 GB in size. If you need more than that, you'll have to format it to NTFS. Or if you want to use it on both a Windows machine and a Mac, you'll have to format it to eXFAT.

Build Quality
Let's talk build quality. It's metallic enclosed, not plastic. Not plastic that's really shiny to look like metal either. It's metallic enclosed. This gives it a premium feel and extra durability. If you drop it, you'll probably hurt your floor more than this device. One thing about metal, the marketing material mentions titanium. They're talking about the color, not the metal encasing material. I've been using this to shuttle video files, backups,  "Why do I still have this file" files back and forth all without a hiccup? The sliding mechanism, smooth and strong. I love that click. lets you know you're set. The only thing cooler would be if it made that kind of sound you hear in the movies, some air lock. So, the Lexar 512 GB dual jump drive D400, it's fast, it's versatile, it's sturdy, it's extremely convenient if you're juggling files in between devices, even if those devices have different ports. So, if you're looking for a way to carry massive files around without relying on the cloud, here you go. Just remember to format it as mentioned earlier and you're ready to go.
