The Lexar SL500 AFA Co-Branded Edition 1TB Portable SSD delivers up to 2,000 MB/s sequential read speeds inside a solid aluminum unibody that measures just 7.8 mm thick. Designed for creators who need high-performance storage on location, it combines a lightweight footprint with a magnetic attachment system for streamlined mobile workflows.

High-speed transfers for demanding workflows

Utilizing a USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C interface and a Silicon Motion controller, the drive achieves up to 2,000 MB/s sequential reads and 1,800 MB/s sequential writes. This bandwidth allows videographers to offload large 4K video files in seconds or edit directly from the drive without stuttering. The underlying TLC NAND ensures consistent performance during sustained data transfers.

Ultra-thin aluminum build with magnetic attachment

The SL500 is engineered for maximum portability. The bare drive weighs only 43 g and measures 85 x 54 x 7.8 mm, making it exceptionally easy to carry. For mobile shooters, the included magnetic set expands the dimensions slightly to 89.5 x 59 x 13.6 mm and brings the total weight to 95 g. This magnetic integration allows the SSD to snap securely to compatible smartphones or camera rigs, keeping cables tidy and the drive out of the way while recording.

IP54-rated durability for location work

Built to survive the physical demands of travel and outdoor shooting, the solid aluminum chassis provides excellent structural rigidity. It carries an IP54 rating, offering protection against dust ingress and water splashes. The drive is drop-resistant up to 6.6 feet and is rated to withstand 50 G of shock (11ms, half sine wave) alongside significant vibration resistance. It operates reliably in temperatures ranging from 0°C to 50°C, ensuring your data remains intact across varied shooting environments.

Broad ecosystem compatibility

Formatted for immediate use across multiple platforms, the SL500 connects natively to Windows, Mac, Android, and gaming consoles. It is fully compatible with the iPhone 15 series and above, making it an ideal direct-to-drive recording solution for mobile videography. For sensitive projects, the drive includes Lexar DataShield, providing 256-bit AES encryption to keep your files secure from unauthorized access.

5-Year limited warranty

Backed by a 5-year limited warranty, the Lexar SL500 offers long-term reliability for professionals who depend on their storage hardware daily.
