High speed with a convenient magnetic attachment.
- Easy to attach
- Lots of storage space
- High read and write speed
- You only stick the magnetic strip somewhere once
The Lexar SL500M MagSafe Portable SSD 2TB is a handy, portable external SSD that you can attach to multiple devices with the magnetic housing. This way, this SSD is firmly attached to my mobile or laptop. I store up to 400,000 full HD photos of 5 megabytes with this external SSD and transfer 100 photos to my laptop within one second due to the high reading speed. Reusing the magnetic strip is difficult, because the glue is quite strong. Despite that, it is nice that I can use the magnetic sticker for multiple devices.
Magnetic housing The external SSD has a small size and I take it with me everywhere. In addition, I can easily place it on my smartphone or laptop with the magnetic housing. The SSD is firmly attached to the sticker that I stick on my mobile or laptop. This means that I do not hold the SSD, which means I have one hand free for taking photos or videos, for example. Removing the sticker for the magnetic housing is difficult, because the glue of this sticker is strong. Removing the sticker takes some effort, but it is handy that I use it for multiple devices. The casing of the SSD is shockproof due to the rubber cover, so it does not matter if the hard drive falls on the ground.
Fast and a lot of memory With the 2 terabytes of storage space, I can store up to 400,000 full HD photos of approximately 5 megabytes on the external SSD. When I make 4K videos, I use the Apple ProRes 4K 60 fps codec. Because the SL500M works well with this codec, I make razor-sharp videos with smooth images. I transfer a 4K 60 fps video of one and a half minutes to the external SSD within 3 seconds. I can transfer files at any time using the supplied USB C cable. I can also copy a folder with multiple full HD films to my laptop in less than a minute.
