Portable SSD for content creators

The Lexar SL500 is a 2TB external solid-state drive built for photographers, videographers and mobile professionals who need fast, secure storage on location. Its compact aluminium unibody fits in a palm and includes a magnetic sleeve, an extra magnetic ring and a wrist strap for quick attachment to laptops, tablets or camera rigs. Lexar DataShield provides 256-bit AES encryption to protect project files.

USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 speed ceiling

The drive uses a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C interface rated for up to 2000MB/s read and 1800MB/s write. Hosts that do not support this standard will run at lower speeds, so maximum throughput is only available on compatible computers and devices. The drive is rated for 50G shock resistance and vibration resistance for rugged use.

Replaces slower external drives

It upgrades from portable hard drives or older USB SSDs that cannot sustain multi-gigabyte-per-second transfers, cutting ingest time for 4K 60FPS or 4K 120FPS footage recorded directly from supported smartphones. The jump is worthwhile when workflow demands consistent high-speed offloads and hardware encryption without carrying a separate power supply.

Questions about this item

Which capacity of the Lexar SL500 portable SSD should I pick if I need to store large 4K video projects?

The 2TB model gives you plenty of room for high-resolution footage and ProRes recordings, while 1TB and 4TB versions are also available if your library is smaller or larger.

What do the 2000MB/s read and 1800MB/s write figures mean when I plug the drive into my laptop?

Those are peak sequential speeds over USB 3.2 Gen 2x2; real-world transfers will be lower on systems that only support slower USB modes, and they vary with file size and workload.

How does the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C interface limit the drive's performance in practice?

The port caps the drive at its rated 2000MB/s read and 1800MB/s write; on older USB 3.2 Gen 2 or USB 3.0 ports the maximum throughput drops to the port's lower ceiling.
