Lexar’s new SL300 portable SSD offers a powerful and versatile storage solution

The Lexar SL300 is a fast new portable SSD drive built for fast, secure, and reliable data access on the go. It boasts read speeds of up to 1050MB/s and write speeds up to 1000MB/s – making it 9.5 times faster than traditional hard drives.

For added security, the Lexar DataShield 256-bit AES encryption software protects sensitive data, and the Lexar Recovery Tool helps retrieve accidentally deleted files.

It costs £80 for the 1TB model and £140 for the 2TB model. More details at lexar.com.
