Premium SSD
on May 11, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a great portable SSD. Been using the Lexar500 with my iPhone and Mac for a few days now and I love it. Super fast transfer speeds, tiny and lightweight, connects easily without any issues and gives extra 1 TB of storage! Feels premium and doesn't heat up like some other portable SSDs. It's perfect for backing up photos and videos and free in up iPhone storage. They say it's 2 meters drop-resistant, but I didn't try that. Points for being super thin and having a sleek design. I also like the cord with connectors, very versatile!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lightweight, compact and gets the job done. This SSD is small but mighty, super energy efficient and fast. Despite it's size , it's still very strong and from what I can tell, built to last.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a super lightweight and fast drive. Perfect for content creation and anything on the go, and a good size for how powerful it is! It’s small and could fit right in your pocket. Haven’t had any issues with it overheating. It’s also handy that the usb pops off and can turn into usb-c so you have whichever you need!

Compact
on May 10, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lexar SL500 Portable SSD is lightweight and compact, and it comes with a USB-C type cable and has an attachment for your computer or laptop. My MacBook recognized the SSD immediately and the folder appeared on the screen and I didn’t need to look for it. However, my iPhone 17 Pro Max can’t locate the SSD and I literally have to go through several steps to find the folder, and transferring files becomes more of a chore. Transfer speed on my MacBook is pretty much immediate but it depends on the number of files and their size. Other than the iPhone issue, I am quite pleased with this compact storage device.
