Lexar LAR700X001T‑RNBNG 1TB ARMOR 700 USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Portable SSD

Overview

The Lexar LAR700X001T‑RNBNG is a rugged external solid state drive in the ARMOR 700 series designed for technical professionals who need portable high‑speed storage with enhanced durability. It is intended for on‑site data transfer, field capture workflows, console or workstation expansion, and backup use where resistance to environmental factors like dust, water, and impact enhances reliability. The IP66‑rated enclosure provides dust‑tight and water‑resistant protection, and the build withstands typical field drops up to 3 m, reducing failure risk in demanding environments.

Connectivity is provided via a USB 3.2 Gen2x2 interface over USB‑C, enabling up to 20 Gb/s host link rates when paired with compatible systems. Maximum sustained throughput reaches about 2000 MB/s read and 2000 MB/s write, which significantly reduces transfer time for large media files, datasets, and project archives compared with older USB standards.

The compact form factor and bus‑powered design eliminate the need for external power, making the drive suitable for laptop, workstation, and compatible mobile device use. Included USB‑C and USB‑A all‑in‑one cables maximize host compatibility out of the box.

Lexar’s DataShield software offers 256‑bit AES encryption for file protection, which is useful in workflows demanding secure portable storage. The drive’s thermal design also helps maintain performance during prolonged transfers without excessive throttling.

This model is not intended for internal server storage or environments that require networked block storage protocols; it functions solely as a USB‑attached external device. It is also dependent on host support for USB 3.2 Gen2x2 to reach advertised maximum throughput rates.
