Lexar releases new SSD´s for the content creator on the go.

Lexars SSD´s have emerged as indispensable tools for content creators seeking efficient and portable storage solutions. These sleek and lightweight devices offer a perfect blend of speed, reliability, and mobility, catering to the demanding requirements of creative professionals. Today, Lexar are releasing three new models for the modern creator that work equally well whether you are shooting with an iPhone, BMPCC, or working with other heavy and demanding media files.

 

With blazing-fast read and write speeds, the new Lexar SSDs, SL500 and Armor700 enable seamless handling of high-resolution videos, intricate graphic designs, and large multimedia files. Their compact form factor makes them an ideal companion for on-the-go content creation, fitting effortlessly into any pocket, laptop bags or camera kits.

 

Lexar SL500 SSD with and without magnetic mount

 

• Up to 2000MB/s read and 1800MB/s write (with USB 3.2 Gen 2x2).
• The disk comes in two versions, with or without a magnetic mount. The magnetic mount allows you to easily attach the disk to your iPhone.            
• Thin, stylish, and durable metal design that easily fits in a pocket.              
• Compatible with iPhone 15 series and supports Apple Pro Res recording, allowing direct shooting to the drive in up to 4K 60FPS with iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
• Type-C data cable for plug-and-play convenience works with most mobile devices, laptops, cameras, game consoles, and more.

 

Lexar Armor700 SSD

 

• Blazing-fast USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 performance of up to 2000MB/s max read/write speeds.
• Same slim design as the SL500 but with IP66 rating to protect against water and dust, the rugged design is built to withstand drops and falls of up to 3 meters.
• Compatible with iPhone 15 series and supports Apple Pro Res recording, allowing direct shooting to the drive in up to 4K 60FPS with iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

 

The new Lexar disks are running cool for a long time without getting hot: The single-chip controller specially designed for portable SSD replaces the traditional dual-chip bridge, thereby reducing power consumption and heat generation. The SL500 consumes nearly 1% of battery per minute while recording 4K/60fps HDR ProRes video.
