The Lexar SL500 is a slim external SSD in a solid aluminum body about the size of a credit card, rated IP54 for dust and water resistance and drop-resistant to 2m. It runs USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 and claims up to 2,000MB/s read and 1,800MB/s write, though those speeds need a host that supports Gen 2x2; Macs and many other systems fall back to slower USB modes. It also records Apple ProRes directly from iPhone 15 Pro models at up to 4K 60fps and ships with Lexar DataShield 256-bit AES encryption. Buyers rate it highly for its build and speed, but the Gen 2x2 interface is the catch: many rivals reach similar real-world speeds over plain USB 3.2 Gen 2 or Thunderbolt, so check your port before paying for the extra bandwidth.

Owners rate the SL500 very highly, praising its slim metal build and fast transfers. The main caveat raised is that peak speeds depend on having a Gen 2x2 port.
The Lexar SL500 is a 1TB portable external SSD that connects over USB-C using USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20Gbps). It reads at up to 2000MB/s and writes at up to 1800MB/s. Speeds may be lower on Mac and other systems that don't support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2.
The drive has a slim, solid aluminum unibody about the size of a credit card and 4.8mm thick. It is rated IP54 for dust and water resistance and is drop-resistant up to 2m. Its thermal control design helps keep temperatures optimal at top speeds so performance is retained.
It works with PC, Mac, Android devices, iPhone 15 series, gaming consoles, cameras and more. It supports Apple ProRes recording, so you can shoot directly to the drive in up to 4K 60FPS with iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Lexar DataShield with 256-bit AES encryption helps keep sensitive files secure.
