Lexar Professional SL600 Portable SSD – USB 3.2 Gen2x2 up to 2000MB/s read & write (512GB)

The Lexar Professional SL600 Portable SSD delivers up to 2000MB/s read and 2000MB/s write speeds over USB 3.2 Gen2x2. It targets photographers, videographers, content creators and on-the-go users who need fast, portable storage for data transfers and backups that works with a wide range of devices.

Fast performance for large files and backups
