Lexar SL500 Portable SSD – USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 with up to 2000MB/s read and 1800MB/s write (10-pack: 6×1TB + 4×2TB)

The Lexar SL500 Portable SSD delivers high-speed transfers and slim, durable design for filmmakers, photographers, and content creators. This listing is for a 10-pack containing six 1TB drives and four 2TB drives. Each drive uses USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 to accelerate large file storage and transfers while remaining compact enough to carry in your pocket.

Speed and performance

The SL500 achieves up to 2000MB/s read and 1800MB/s write to move large files quickly. As a result, you can transfer footage, backups, and large photo libraries faster than with many other external drives. Note that performance on Mac and other systems that do not support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 may be lower.

Lexar states this model is nearly twice as fast as comparable competing products, about four times faster than SATA drives, and roughly 16 times faster than traditional hard disk drives (HDDs). Those performance differences make this SSD suitable for workflows that demand rapid data access and reduced transfer times.

Design and portability

The drive features a slim, solid aluminum unibody construction. At roughly the size of a credit card and 4.8mm thick, the SL500 fits comfortably in the palm of your hand or a pocket. The thin metal design also provides durable protection for the internal components while maintaining a sleek profile for easy transport.

Compatibility and use cases

The Lexar SL500 works with a wide range of devices. It supports PCs, Macs, Android devices, cameras, and gaming consoles such as Xbox Series X|S, PS4, and PS5. The drive is also iPhone-friendly: it supports Apple ProRes recording and can record directly to the drive from iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max at up to 4K 60FPS.

Because it connects via USB Type-C and includes a Type-C data cable, you get plug-and-play convenience for many systems and devices. This broad compatibility makes the SL500 useful for on-set recording, quick transfers between camera and workstation, and expanding console storage for games or media.

Data protection and quality assurance

The SL500 includes Lexar DataShield software with 256-bit AES encryption to help secure sensitive files. You can use this encryption to protect footage, client deliverables, and personal data when transporting or archiving drives.

All Lexar products undergo testing in Lexar Quality Labs. These facilities use thousands of different cameras and digital devices to verify performance, quality, compatibility, and reliability before products reach customers.
