Lexar SL300 1TB Portable SSD

High-Performance USB 3.2 Gen 2 Interface

The SL300 utilizes USB 3.2 Gen 2 technology to achieve sequential read speeds up to 1050 MB/s and write speeds reaching 1000 MB/s. These transfer rates provide 9.5 times faster performance compared to traditional hard drives, enabling rapid file transfers and efficient backup operations. Additionally, the drive maintains consistent performance during sustained workloads through sophisticated thermal management systems.

The included 2-in-1 USB-C/USB-A cable ensures universal connectivity across modern and legacy devices. Furthermore, the USB-C interface supports bus-powered operation, eliminating external power requirements during mobile use.

Advanced Thermal Management and Durability

The SL300 incorporates double-layer graphite sheets that efficiently conduct heat away from internal components during intensive data operations. This thermal management system maintains optimal operating temperatures even during extended heavy usage periods. Moreover, the compact aluminum housing assists in heat dissipation while providing structural protection against impacts.

The drive meets IP54 environmental standards for dust and water resistance, protecting against particle ingress and light moisture exposure. Additionally, the SL300 withstands drops up to 2 meters, ensuring data integrity during transport and field applications.

Comprehensive Security and Data Protection

The SL300 includes Lexar DataShield software providing 256-bit AES encryption for sensitive data protection. This hardware-accelerated encryption maintains full transfer speeds while securing files against unauthorized access. Additionally, the Lexar Recovery Tool assists in restoring accidentally deleted files, providing supplementary data protection capabilities.

All Lexar products undergo extensive testing in Lexar Quality Labs with thousands of devices to ensure cross-platform compatibility and reliability standards.
