Lexar, a leading global brand of flash memory solutions, is thrilled to announce two new portable SSDs - the SL300 and the ES3, designed for everyday users and business professionals looking for speed, efficiency, and security in their data storage solutions. These workhorse drives boast speeds up to 9.5 times faster than traditional HDDs, with read speeds reaching 1050 MB/s and write speeds of 1000 MB/s, ensuring significantly faster data transfers and super-fast backups.

Equipped with built-in double-layer graphite sheets, the ES3 and SL300 effectively conduct heat to keep the drive cool during intensive tasks. Its sleek and sturdy design is not only durable but also features drop-resistance up to 2 meters, providing added protection against accidental falls. With plug-and-play compatibility via a 2-in-1 USB-C/USB-A cable, users can effortlessly connect these drives to their PC, Mac, tablet, smartphone, and more. Additionally, the SSDs come with Lexar DataShield 256-bit AES encryption software to safeguard files, along with access to the Lexar Recovery Tool to help recover accidentally deleted data.



"These are excellent drives for everyday tasks at home or busy professionals in the office," said Joey Lopez, Director of Marketing. "They both feature snappy speeds to help boost efficiency and plug-and-play convenience to work with a wide range of devices."

The SL300 is available in mid-December at an MSRP of $109.99 for 1 TB and $179.99 for 2 TB. The ES3 is available now and will have an MSRP of $179.99 for 2 TB.

What you mean? What is average speed of modern HDDs? I mean exactly average, not maximum speed.
Maybe he's comparing SATA speeds to NVMe for SSDs? It doesn't make much sense because they'd be much more expensive
