Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ True dual-head design: USB-C and USB-A on one body, no dongle needed
  • ✓ Rated up to 100MB/s over USB 3.2 Gen 1 for multi-gigabyte offloads
  • ✓ 360-degree swivel means no cap to lose or replace
  • ✓ Metal enclosure, not the flexing plastic typical at this price
  • ✓ Bundled 256-bit AES software encryption plus a 3-year limited warranty

Cons

  • ✗ 64GB fills fast if you move 4K video or large game installs
  • ✗ 100MB/s is Lexar's internal figure; real speed depends on host port
  • ✗ Swivel hinge is a moving part, the usual wear point on this design
  • ✗ Rated only 0 to 50 degrees C, so no hot-car or freezing-garage storage

Manufacturer description

The Lexar D40E 64GB JumpDrive solves the connector problem that makes most thumb drives half-useful: a 360-degree swivel puts a USB-C plug on one end and a traditional USB Type-A plug on the other, so the same drive moves files between an Android phone, an iPad, a MacBook, and an older desktop tower without an adapter or a cap to lose. Lexar rates sequential transfers at up to 100MB/s over USB 3.2 Gen 1, quick enough to offload a few gigabytes of phone video or a folder of project files while you wait rather than while you make coffee. The housing is metal rather than plastic, measuring 70.4…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored Lexar D40E 64GB Dual USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C Jump Drive using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the external storage category. Lexar's external storage lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for external storage of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work with my phone and my laptop?

Yes. The D40E has a USB Type-C connector on one end and a standard USB Type-A on the other, so it plugs into USB-C phones, tablets, laptops and Macs as well as older Type-A ports. No software install is required.

How fast does the Lexar D40E actually transfer files?

Lexar rates it at up to 100MB/s over USB 3.2 Gen 1, based on internal testing. Actual speed varies with the host device, port, and file sizes; small files always move slower than one large one.

Is 64GB enough storage for me?

64GB comfortably holds documents, photo libraries and a few hours of 1080p video. If you regularly move 4K footage or large game installs, look at a higher capacity in the same line.

Can I password protect files on this drive?

Yes. Lexar bundles a security software solution with 256-bit AES encryption for protecting files on the drive. This is software-based encryption rather than a hardware-encrypted drive.

How durable is it, and is there a warranty?

The housing is metal rather than plastic, it weighs 26g at 70.4 x 16.9 x 11.7mm, and it is rated for 0 to 50 degrees C. Lexar backs it with a 3-year limited warranty.
