Inicialmente lo compré para darle nueva vida a una vieja laptop con procesador Sempron y 256 de RAM que mantengo por razones sentimentales. Debo decir que el rendimiento que dio fue más que aceptable, en especial corriendo Linux. Eventualmente lo cambié a mi PC de uso intensivo, lo uso como storage complementario y debo decir que es bastante bueno. Mantiene mis maquinas virtuales corriendo con buena velocidad. Creo que es una muy buena unidad a un buen precio.

This LEXAR NM620 NVMe Solid State Drive was recognized on first boot up by my ASUS i7 computer and even came with the hold down screw, making this a quick and easy installation.I wanted to use it as the boot drive with Windows 10 Pro and went looking on the LEXAR support site for clone software to move the data from my existing SSD. When I found the download, it was cryptically labeled “Temporarily Unavailable due to US Government Regulations.” That required me to find a third-party solution to clone my operating system onto the new drive, which was very time consuming and resulted in a number of boot failures until I manually reconfigured the partitions.Once I finally got everything properly configured, it now runs very well and substantially faster than my old conventional 2.5” form factor SSD, Sequential reads are about 6 times faster, and most other reads and writes are over 2 times faster. Of course, all read or write operations are blazingly faster than my WD 1TB spinning platter hard drive with random reads 300 times as fast as that one.But, with the software “unavailable” and the price of this drive currently higher than the equivalent Samsung SSD, it’s facing stiff competition. But, it meets its claims and runs very fast and reliably and boots and runs the PC much faster than before.

Compré el producto para una HP Elitedesk 800G1, puedo decir que es de muy buena calidad teniendo en cuenta el costo.Lo único negativo fue el embalaje, pensé que venía en una caja y no, venía en una bolsa de papel. La caja del producto venía un poco golpeada pero afortunadamente no le pasó nada, deberían embalar con más protección este tipo de productos, en especial cuando son envíos internacionales.

I was going to get the samsung 980 but it was going to take weeks to deliver. Got this instead and it seems to be the faster drive based on reviews. This lexar nm800 pro is more comparable to the new samsung 990. Im glad i got this instead and for less than $190. Using this as a ps5 drive. Installation was easy. Fits perfectly inside the ps5. Formatted and was getting 6400mb read. Transfered all 600gb of my games over to the m.2. Took around 6 minutes to complete.

This Lexar 240GB 2.5″ SATA SSD worked perfect for replacing the failed 120GB drive in a Dell E6440 laptop. The Dell Windows recovery app (downloaded from Dell support) recognized the drive and brought the laptop back to new life. I found this Lexar drive comparable in cost to generic drives.

After cloning the drive and installing this my latop runs at least 3 times faster. What a great upgrade. I bought another drive for my desktop. It used to take ann incredible 5 minutes to get to the login screen so I would never shut it down. Now it’s an unbelieveable 30 seconds. Now I can shut down my PC and give the power supply a break.

I thought the lack of a DRAM cache would be noticeable, but it wasn’t. Granted that’s because I’m only using it for OS & programs only, but I do concur with other reviewers that this kind of drive is enough for the majority of users.

This Lexar SSD is very cost effective and reliable. Lexar is a well known brand that is owned by Micron Technology.The read/write speed and performance is at the same level as my Samsung SSD’s – I can see no noticeable difference between this Lexar drive and my Samsung EVO SSD. The only difference is the price – this Lexar is about half the cost of my Samsung. It’s like getting 2 drives for the price of 1.I have every confidence in this Lexar SSD – It’s fantastic value for money. Love it!HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! AAA+++

Tested over USB-C, so I’ll forgive not hitting 550MBps. It looks like it maxed out the adapter I was using. RW performance has been great. At this price it’s hard to say no to a SATA III SSD at this capacity. I trust Lexar as a brand for solid state memory and they haven’t disappointed me on this one. I’ll certainly update if I have any issues with the drive, but it’s pretty straightforward.

I just love the heatsink on this guy. It’s firmly attached and does an excellent job of dissipating heat. Plus it isn’t too tall which could cause issues in come cases.The PCIe Gen 4×4 speeds are insane! I don’t even have a fast enough computer to fully utilize the speeds this drive can perform at. For the price I don’t think you can find a faster NVMe drive on the market right now that has the build quality with the heatsink that this one does.

The ssd was pretty cheap because I bought the 500gb version. Not tested yet, will try to review again. The ssd looks fast with 3.3k write which is closer to a gen 4 so ya pretty good overall

Mounted this in a Sabrent tool-less USB3 enclosure, formatted it exFATand then tested using Blackmagic Disk Speed Test on Windows 10. PC is aMicrosoft 15″ Surface Book 3.Consistently achieving 400MB/s or higher Read speeds but Write speedsare around 350MB/s.Lexar quotes “up to 550MB/s” Read speeds (vague on Write speeds, pretty normal marketing omission) but not seeing it here..Out of curiosity, reformatted to NTFS but, if anything, that made thingsworse; Read speeds eventually averaged out to 400MB/s after a fewpasses but Write speeds dipped down to 345MB/s.Then, getting really curious (because 400MB/s is really quite far from550MB/s), I pulled out my old 2012 MacBook Pro and tested there. That DID get me slightly higher Read and Write speeds (420MB/s and 380-400MB/s respectively).In the same enclosure, a SEKC 120GB SSD (also rated “up to 550GB/s”) gets sub-300MB/s Write speeds and mid-300MB/s Read speeds.The internal SSD I installed in that MacBook Pro (SK Hynix Gold S31) get about 500MB/s Read and mid to high-400MB/s writes. Seems to be priced higher than the Lexar.So.. the Lexar kind of sits in the middle.It’s faster than the cheapest obscure brand SSDs, seems to be priced appropriately, and you have some assurance of warranty support should anything go wrong. It’s slower than more expensive options but.. there is such a thing as “fast enough” for a lot of casual users.I’ve had a few Lexar thumb drives over the years and, whilst not the fastest, they were pretty reliable.I’d be happy running an OS on this thing. It’s definitely not slow; it’s just not that fast. Crazy gamers and people working on huge video or graphics applications / files might be better served by a faster (and more expensive) SSD.

Most of my SSD’s are Samsung, but Lexar has also been a flash memory leader for a very long time. I wanted to see how they perform. I was not disappointed in this Lexar NQ100 line drive.Physically it’s unremarkable as a SATA 3 SSD. That’s a good thing as it’s what’s inside that matters! To give it a run with CrystalDiskMark 8 I plugged it into my LSI Logic SAS/SATA 3 controller in my aging but still plenty fast Dell T7500 with 48GB of RAM and dual Xeon processors. I ran a benchmarks on this drive and on a Samsung EVO 860 I had on hand.The benchmark results showed the Lexar drive was generally faster than the Samsung on reads and a little slower on sequential writes but a little faster on random writes. The product listing touts 550MB/s reads and this drive does deliver with 567MB/s sequential reads!In real world use I setup 4GB RAM disk and copied a 3GB folder of a mix of files. These range from many small files to a number of large ones like ISO DVD images. Throughput was very good and mirrored the benchmark results for me.The drive price is about $3 less than a Samsung EVO 870 (as of this review) and comes with a 3 year warranty. I think it is competitively priced. I could go with either Samsung or Lexar for this kind of drive. I’m certainly impressed as few drives have been so competitive with the “big dog” that Samsung is in this area. Excellent performance for a competitive price makes this a viable alternative and that’s why I’m giving this drive 5 stars.

I’ve been using Lexar for years now. This SSD is no exception to their quality of products.These days, you can’t be too careful with the types of SSDs you choose to put into your PCs. They may not always be what they say they are.As expected, this was easy to install and worked perfectly. It came with the screw needed to install it to the motherboard.My games now load 3 times faster if not more.They offer fair prices for the space offered. I ended up with 476 GBs of usable space out of the 256.Overall, you can trust Lexar for SSD safety and actual usable space and true speed. I fully recommend this SSD and give it 5 stars

Got this for $24 after a coupon, I have a few other SSD’s installed in various computers. I used this as a replacement for a failed SSD. I installed a fresh copy of Windows 10 pro, and even though it boots to the desktop quickly I notice that it is slower than the SSD it replaced, loads slower, programs seem to take longer to open. Still hard to complain because the price was great and it is much faster than mechanical drive. I hope it lasts.

This must be my tenth NVMe drive. I own very good brands, WD black, Samsung 970 Evo, Samsung 950 Pro etc… It is my first Lexmark SSD. For info, this is a high speed NVMe drive (B Key, not B+M Key) meant to be mostly used internally to benefit from the Gen3x4.Let’s explain this a little bit more. Most new generation desktop will have only 1 or 2 Gen 3×4 slots. After this, most laptops are going to provide maybe 3×2 speeds (so half of what is advertised) and external connections are going to provide Sata speeds (about 450MB/s).Therefore, you have to know what you intend this hard drive for.- If it is for a desktop with 3×4 speeds, it is perfect!- If it is for a laptop with 3×2 speeds, it is overkill.- If it is to be used in an external enclosure, it is a waste of money.Once this is said, you can always use it externally until times come to install it internally but you’d be better off buying a cheaper one because these things evolve fast.What more to say? Let’s look at the pros of owning such SSD NVMe drive?- It is like an USB key, no moving platter so it is shockproof (to an extend, you can break it between two fingers but it is supposed to be mounted safely.- It is very light, much lighter than any hard drive ever before so your laptop will be much lighter.- Installed internally, it will provide for the fastest booting speeds (up to 4 times a SATA drive). For instance, my laptop boots up in less than 20 seconds. It comes back from sleep in about 5 seconds.What are the cons of such item?:- Still expensive compared to a conventional platter hard drive. I recently bought a 10TB HD (20 times the capacity of this one) for about 230$ when this 256GB SSD costs about $90. This mean that the SSD is about 8 times more expensive than the conventional HD per GB.- In the light of the previous comment, a conventional HD is still preferable for storage to an SSD drive, which means that you should use these NVMe drives only when necessary (OS drive).In conclusion:When compared to the competition, the Lexmark SSD provides good results at a fair price. Just be sure to use it wisely to not waste any money.5 stars.

Instalé este disco sólido en una laptop que tenía un disco duro de 5400 RPM y la verdad es que la diferencia en rendimiento fue mínima. La laptop, a pesar de estar nueva, sigue lenta y tarda en encender y apagar. Les recomiendo que inviertan unos pesos más en un Kingston u otra marca más confiable.

I bought 15 of these hard drives for use in some customer-facing computers and most of the drives work well. They were easy to install and are peppy. After a few months I noticed that one of the computers started having problems that it’s “boot device was not detected” so I reached out to Lexar’s customer service about warranty repair or RMA. Lexar’s response was that because of some obscure government regulation, they are no longer allowed to repair or exchange SSDs, so the only offer is for a partial refund, the Fair Market Value as they determine it. They would not refund the original purchase price. Given that most of the SSDs are still working after 5 months, I don’t consider the purchase to be a total failure, but I am disappointed with the response from their customer service and will likely be purchasing from a different manufacturer the next time.

Unless you have a major need for speed, this SSD will be great for anyone looking to expand their horizons (or at least their computer storage). Currently, the 250 GB NQ100 SATA3 SSD is $25, which is currently $5 cheaper than the Kingston 240 GB A400 SATA3 SSD. The Kingston A400 is what I’ve gone to in the past to expand my PCs, and I feel like this works just as well. They’re both budget SATA SSDs and have great reliability. So… my advice is to look for what’s cheaper or has a better look for your build and just buy it.Lexar has a long history of making great storage devices. I have used many of their USB drives and external hard drives without problems.

It should’ve been plug & play, but I plugged it in to all the ports on my laptop and no once was it recognized. Also tried scanning for changes in device manager but had no luck there. I went to the support site to double check compatibility and I couldn’t even find my ASUS laptop listed. This is pretty surprising to me. Will be returning the item.

The drive arrived quickly, was well packaged and does work. But, although the box shows the SSD drive to be a 250GB drive it is in facto a 128GB drive. The box holding the drive was not shrink wrapped but inside a resealable clear plastic bag.So, I only received half of the capacity I wanted. But, on the bright side, it does work and is quick.So thank you….sort of…..Joe

Since I don’t currently have an M.2 slot available in my PC, I am using this 256gb Lexar M.2 SSD as an external drive via a separate enclosure. The benchmark results reflect slower speeds than those you would get with this drive installed in your PC’s M.2 slot. Even so, this is a blazing fast drive that makes data transfer between devices fast and easy, which is why I like using the external enclosure with these.This is the Gen 3 M.2 NVMe SSD drive, which means it can achieve up to 3,500 Mb/s in read speeds. Installed in my external enclosure and connected via USB-c to my PC, I was able to get 1000 Mb/s in read speeds. What does that translate to in real world speeds? It took just a few minutes to transfer almost 100 gigabytes of music onto the drive from my PC.Great drive, recommended. 5-stars

Disclaimer: you probably shouldn’t take apart your SSD, even though “void on removal” stickers don’t have any legal binding anymore, you don’t gain anything from taking apart one. I did so you don’t have to.I couldn’t find the performance, but the specs are about as advertised, I do remember sequential reads and writes were as advertised, and seq reads were ~560mbps for me.As for this thing, it’s using 2 micron NAND dies and a Lexar branded controller, but there doesn’t seem to be any google results for either. Considering that Lexar uses Silicon Motion controllers for their other SATA and NVMe SSD (although I think one of them uses a Marvell controller), this is probably a DRAMless Silicon Motion controller (maybe a SM2259xt?)Micron’s FBGA part returned this: MT29F1T08EELDEH6-M:DI couldn’t find anything from micron that lists what kind of nand flash this is, it’s probably TLC, but I can’t really tell since Micron doesn’t have a QLC part catalog for you to look up.The outer casing is plastic instead of metal, a very flexible plastic at that (taking this apart was pretty easy). This isn’t going to affect quality, and it doesn’t look awful so it’s not too big of an issue for me. At $34 for 240GB it does feel a bit pricey for me, maybe wait for an ADATA on discount? If you’re just trying to speed up an old computer by upgrading to an SSD, well at least Lexar should be around for any warranty issues within 3 years. Normally I would recommend deals on like a SK Hynix S31, but considering at the time of this review there’s an anticipated storage shortage from Chia Coin mining, well… At least Lexar will probably be around to honor that warranty.

Saw a few people said these had failed, I guess they all do but you hope solid state would be more robust. Anyway, began an install that seemed to go fine but when I went back to mess with things the usb could not boot and then when it did, Windows recovery spent about 2 hours (twice!) before saying nothing can be done. boom. I dove through all the menus and online advice. More time than the drive was worth.

There’s not a ton to say here. I didn’t run benchmarks because I care much more about real world usage. I got this SSD to supplement the storage capacity of a mini PC that only had a small M.2 drive. With the 240 GBs added, that computer is now officially useful for stuff. The drive speed has seemed fine, reading and writing has been at the pace I expected out of it.I’ve had a few other Lexar memory products like micro SD cards and so far I haven’t had any of them fail or experience any serious problems. This drive has been operating fine and as expected for the time I’ve had it and I have no problem recommending it. The decision is going to mostly be about what it costs at the time you’re looking for an SSD vs some of its similar competitors.

Bought this ssd because I needed a cheap SSD drive to store some files from my phone. The transfer speed was pretty slow to the point where one of my file transfers ended up deleting some files due to the long transfer process crashing. Thankfully the files that were deleted were just non-important files and photos. After using the SSD for a bit longer, these are the pros and cons that I noticed.Pros:-super light weight. feels like it’s lighter than a USB thumbdrive-small and very portableCons:-Slow transfer speed. ESPECIALLY moving files to the secure storage thing-feels like cheap plastic materials & it sounds hollow.-constantly makes a click noise if you hold or lightly touch the case. hence the “clicker” part of the review title.-price is not really worth it now that I saw the other cheaper & more reliable 1TB options.Long story short, just buy a reliable brand like Samsung’s T5 external ssds or crucial x6 SSD. Those ssds have much better build quality, transfer speed, & cheaper $/GB price.

I ordered this to replace the SSD in my son’s Alienware R4 because the OEM drive was starting to have issues. I like the fact that it came with the little hold-down screw included, not all of them do. It installed with no problems.…it was immediately recognized and is lightning fast.Windows installed in under 7 minutes and games re-installed very quickly. In normal use (booting, copying files, reading files, and gaming), so far the drive has performed perfectly. I have also copied 4K movie files (MKV) over to it and was amazed at how fast they transferred.Very pleased with it and highly recommend it. If things change as we use it more I will update this review, I hope it helped you to some degree, thanks for reading!

Good for any build really – FAST SSD compared to HHD, reliable and functional. A little on the “lightweight” side, but that’s fine,.

You better know what you are doing here. There is no support offered in the box or on the website-no cloning software, no explanation for formatting, no nothing. Actually the support page is listed on the box, but when you get there, there is nothing available to download, not even a copy of the microfiche manual that comes with the drive. I guess at least you don’t have to register to activate the 3-year warranty. It has been a while since I bought a Samsung drive, but I remember clearly that you just follow the included instructions to download their data migration software and you are off. I did try that, and, no, it evidently recognizes its own drives so it didn’t work here. If you don’t already have an alternative, a search for “free hard drive cloning” will set you on your way. Of course, if you are just going to use this as a new data drive you don’t need to worry about that.I used this to upgrade an old HP Core2 Duo that had a 120gb spinning hard drive for the Win10 boot system. Don’t worry, this is on the workbench for talking to Arduinos and such-not for any “real” work. With the old mech drive, clicking on “restart” to the splash screen took 3:07 minutes. After the cloning (strangely, I didn’t have to re-activate) the laptop (re)booted as before in 37…seconds! I’ve done this a few times before, but never with such drastic results. It does have 4gb RAM, but it runs at 2.1GHZ so I really didn’t expect such a boost.The drive works just fine and costs pennies compared to the new unit I was eyeing. Recommended!If this information was of use to you, please consider clicking “Helpful”. Thank you.

I bought two of these SSD Drives, they work, but are both not recognized a Boot, they will Boot Partially. But then I have to press F1 for the Booting process to finish. Due to this problem I can’t recommend this SSD Drive.

I was searching for a drive with the fastest read and write speeds for my new build as I didn’t want to keep upgrading with years to come. This drive came out by far the fastest. After 2 weeks of use I can confirm the load times into my computer, games, file transfers and downloads are much faster than before. I’m very pleased with the looks and performance. The speeds are thousands faster than competitors so I will not be needing an upgrade anytime soon. 1TB was very affordable for the speeds

I used this drive to replace the regular HDD on my laptop.I was shocked how much faster is my laptop after installing this SSD drive.The laptop works like new. All applications open immediately, and the system starts in seconds.The installation was very simple. The size of the drive is exactly the same as a regular 2.5” HDD. The replacement took me only a few minutes.If you feel that your computer is slowing down, replace your HDD with SSD. And this one is a really good choice.

In order to view on windows 10 or 11 file explore, you have to initialize it with disk tool such as diskmgr on Windows, but when I install it as bootable system drive, the system cannot recognize it. After I use command line clean the drive, it finished within one hour to complete a fresh Windows 10 installation on my i5-5005u HP laptop.

In terms of pricing, I will say that this is a pretty good priced 240 GB solid state drive to have if you are looking for fast speed on a budget. The next thing about this is that it is the same length and width size as a 2.5 drive, but it is thinner in height. It will fit in the same aluminum case if you want to put this in an enclosure. It is very light though which is a plus. Like most solid states drive cases, they are prone to scratches. I tried this on both Mac and PC and they were able to work without any issues. It did not require any additional software and it was just a plug in play. It also fit the sata port pretty well. The only thing I would say if you are installing this in laptops with a holder is that you may need to hold it up slightly as it is thinner than your normal 2.5 disk drive. Once you have it screwed in, you are fine. As always, the drive need to be initialized before it can be used if you are using it as an external. If you are using it on a fresh install, it should detect and you just select it. I tried it in a 3.0 enclosure and the transfer speed is really good. I did not have a 3.1 drive enclosure to test for that. It did get warm in the enclosure but it may vary on enclosure. There also did not heat up to an alarming. The same occurred when it was installed in my computer. I also did a memory verification just to be safe and the storage memory is correct so you can be sure your data is safe.When plugging it into my computer and doing a speed test on the device, it was reading closer to 500 MB/s rather than 550 MB/s. I am sure there are plenty of reason for this. It could be my computer. There was no huge discrepancy to be alarmed if you are just trying to get a better boot speed and honestly it still boots up application pretty quickly. I also tried this with my MAC, it ran pretty well. It did not have any issues with connection or installation (same goes for windows). I ran with this solid state drive and boot up was very good. Honestly I could not really tell the different between this and an M2 drive on boot up. It booted up relatively close to each other. Based on stop watch it was pretty close but I did not notice too much of a difference. I did however run it against some other 2.5 solid state drives (Samsung and WD) as well as the Seagate Hybrid drive and it about average in terms of speeds. It is pretty on par with the higher name brand solid state drives. It is definitely a good drive to use for an upgrade from a disk drive but it does only have 240 gb so do not expect this to be a high storage drive. It will most likely run out pretty quickly if this the only drive you are using. Two games would probably fill up most of the drive.I actually used this to update my parents desktops as they still ran on disk drive and did not require any additional memory as they do not game or have big applications. I tested the drive on both mac and windows and mac seem to show a faster boot up speed than mac. Overall this is a good solid state if you are on a budget. The only thing I will say is that 240 gb is not enough for most computers nowadays unless all you are doing is web browsing and some applications so I would still have a disk drive for storage if possible. The write/read speed is a not bad for what you pay for it and it works pretty well. It boots up my operating system without much issue. For day to day use, this is a good choice for a cheaper price. If you are looking for something for gaming, then you may want to get a higher capacity. Also supports drive cloning if you have the right software. It cloned pretty quickly.

I wanted a reliable disk for a new proxmox server I am hosting from home, the SSD had no issues being detected via my B450 board and worked fine for the installation.Currently, this drive runs 3 Linux VMs and a Windows VM at the same time, there have been no issues with disk performance.The drive has tested fine via my laptops built-in disk checker, Dell M4800, but has lived its life in the server since.Overall, the drive does fine and is at a competitive price point for it to be a good boot drive if needed.

Compared to most SSDs in the market, this one is well ahead of the pack. But not the fastest. Unirex SATA 3 SSD is about 11% faster than this one, but 20% more expensive. Both are great.

The SSD hard drive arrived on time .I Was able to install it without issues and worked fine for a day .That’s it.It will randomly freeze up.Tried a few fixes provided online to see if the freezing will go away.My old HDD was better than this SSD. Today its unable to boot. Pay a couple of $$ more and buy a Kingston .Lexar is a waste of time and money.

Compré el producto para una HP Elitedesk 800G1, puedo decir que es de muy buena calidad teniendo en cuenta el costo.Lo único negativo fue el embalaje, pensé que venía en una caja y no, venía en una bolsa de papel. La caja del producto venía un poco golpeada pero afortunadamente no le pasó nada, deberían embalar con más protección este tipo de productos, en especial cuando son envíos internacionales.

this works well in my pc. it dropped my boot times from 30 seconds to under 10. i like that it comes with the heatsink and installed easily. read/ write speeds are accurate and i haven’t had any issue so far. i do wish it was the 1 tb however as these drives tend to wear out faster than an older type magnetic one, with longevity being measured in read/write cycles. i have it installed as a boot drive so hopefully it will last awhile. if it fails unexpectedly i will update this review.

I love this drive, Very fast startup speed and Lexar is a great company they have been around for decades I am not sure why this drive’s price is low It’s cheaper than the less-known brands. Great budget drive for anyone who needs it. Highly recommend
Liparteliani –
Works okay but not the best value for money. At the time I bought this I paid 28.99 $ for 256gb SSD, but there’s other brands that selling 256gb variants for that price, some even cheaper. Wish I saw them before if there were any.

I picked this up to upgrade a friends laptop from a HDD to a SSD. I installed windows on this drive from his recovery and his system was fine. Boot times went from 30-45 seconds to ~10 seconds and loading something like Chrome went from 30-65 seconds to 3-6 seconds.The computer also runs a bit cooler…. I think this is from the CPU not waiting around for a slow HDD and this drive running a tad cooler than the HDD did.I did a bit of testing with the speeds and was about to get 535MB read speed and around 389MB write speed…. it did peak at 444MB/sec but it wasn’t at all sustained. So while these aren’t the best speeds, it doesn’t matter for everyday tasks.Saved his laptop from the landfill with this drive so I am definitely happy with it!

I bought this to speed up an older laptop, which it has now done beautifully.It’s a cheap ssd. (I assume a Samsung at more than twice the price will be more reliable. Soif you must absolutely depend on your ssd, get a Samsung.)An installation tip (which I happened on after several frustrating missteps):This Lexar is thinner top-to-bottom than many standard 2.5″ drives. When insertingthis into my laptop, I did not immediately realize this, and attributed its not being recognizedas a weird disk-cloning glitch. Turns out Macrium works just fine. The actual problem was that the ssd was not plugging into the laptop properly because it was simply sitting too low. A couple of fitted layers of thin cardboard under the Lexar did the trick. It now plugs in solidly and works a treat. Happy Happy Joy Joy!
