A while back we took a look at Lexar’s SL660 Blaze portable solid state drive. It was a very solid USB 3.2 gen 2×2 drive that was targeted at gamers with its RGB lighting and stand so you could display the drive. Lexar is essentially releasing the same drive on their Professional line. The Lexar Professional SL600 portable solid state drive drops the RGB lighting and stand for a more professional look, but you still get the aluminum design and of course the fast USB 3.2 gen 2×2 speeds! This drive is rated for speeds up to 2000 MB/s for both the read and write. Let’s take a look!
Special thanks to Lexar for providing us with the Professional SL600 Portable Solid State Drive to review.
Specifications
Packaging
The Professional SL600 comes in a nice retail package that has a picture of the drive on the front and lets us know the capacity and speeds. Lexar sent us over the 2TB version of the drive, but you can also get it in 1TB and 512GB versions.
Flipping over to the back we have more information on the drive in a handful of different languages.
Getting everything out of the box we have the SL600 drive, a USB-A to USB-C cable, USB-C to USB-C cable, and a quick start guide.
