The Lexar SL500 supports Apple Pro Res recording with the iPhone 15 Pro

Lexar's latest portable SSD has arrived, bringing with it faster speeds, USB Type-C connectivity and wide compatibility for gaming PCs and consoles, as well as smartphones like the iPhone 15. 

The Lexar SL500 Portable SSD features a slim, aluminium unibody, making it small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, or on the back of an iPhone. With USB 3.2 Gen 2×2, you can expect read/write speeds of up to 2000MB/s and 1800MB/s. This makes it a decent option for portable game installs, whether they be for PC, Xbox One, or the PS4. Due to the requirements for running Xbox Series X/S and PS5 games from a secondary drive, you would only be able to use the drive for storing current-gen console titles.

The big selling point here is the mobile support. The SL500 Portable is compatible with Apple Pro Res recording, so you can shoot video straight to the drive at full 4K and 60FPS with an iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max. The SSD also comes with Lexar DataShield 256-bit AES encryption to keep files protected.

The SL500 Portable SSD is available in 2TB at $229.99 and will be available in a 4TB capacity at the end of Q2.
