  • Our take on the Lexar 1TB SL500 Portable SSD

    The Lexar SL500 is a slim metal portable SSD rated for up to 2000MB/s read and 1800MB/s write over USB 3.2 Gen 2x2. It supports direct Apple ProRes recording up to 4K 60fps on iPhone 15 Pro models and works with phones, laptops, cameras and consoles. A thermal control design keeps speeds steady under load, and Lexar DataShield adds 256-bit AES encryption. It suits creators and gamers who want fast transfers in a pocketable drive, though the top speeds need a Gen 2x2 host.

    Questions and answers

    Does the SL500 reach 2000MB/s on a Mac?

    Yes. Lexar rates it for direct Apple ProRes recording up to 4K 60fps with iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
    Does it work with a PS5 or Xbox Series X|S?
    Lexar lists compatibility with PS4, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Check the console's requirements for external drive use before relying on it for games.
    What is in the box?
    The drive and a Type-C data cable. There is no USB-A adapter included.
    How is the drive protected?
    It includes Lexar DataShield 256-bit AES encryption software and carries a five-year limited warranty.
    How big and heavy is it?
    It measures 3.3 x 2.1 x 0.3 inches and weighs about 0.095 lbs, so it fits in a pocket.
