Sony introduces SL-M and SL-M tough, high speed external SSD drives

Sony introduces SL-M and  SL-M tough, high speed external SSD drives

Sony announced two new external SSD drives, the high-performance SL-M series and the standard compact SL-C series. These external SSD drives boast ultra-toughness, high-speed, hardware encryption and new utility software features so photographers and videographers have peace of mind that their data is safe even in tough environments. 

The SL-M series and SL-C series both feature an innovative one-piece aluminium body with an omni-directional shockproof construction that provides the user with a sense of security when it comes to storing data. With an IP67 rating, both series are dustproof and waterproof and feature a USB Type-C port that is waterproof even without a sealing cap. Data is also protected even if dropped in water up to a metre deep. These external SSD drives are highly durable and can withstand pressure of up to 6000kgf and bending of up to 2000kgf meaning that the user need not worry about carrying alongside other, heavier kit. Additionally, the SL-M series and SL-C series are impact proof, withstanding drops from up to 3 metres.  

  • High-performance SL-M series and standard compact SL-C series designed for photographers, videographers and creators needing to process large data files at higher speed
  • Ultra-tough in every aspect; the SL-M series and SL-C series are dustproof, waterproof[1], impact proof[2] and highly durable[3]
  • Up to 1000MB/s read and write speed[4]
  • Hardware encryption with intelligent utility software to protect and secure your work

Both the SL-M series and SL-C series have a stylish wave-surface aluminium body providing slip free grip along with an easy-to-find silver and yellow design. Plus, both models feature a conveniently placed LED so it’s easy to see, as well as rubber bands to hold ID labels in place and label stickers to identify different drives.  

Speed up your workflow

The high-performance SL-M series has an outstanding read and write speed of up to 1000MB/s, while the standard compact SL-C series has an impressive 540MB/s read speed and 520MB/s write speed. Both series also feature a USB 3.1 Gen 2 (USB Type-CTM) interface and the SL-M series is able to achieve incredible high speeds with NVMe SSD technology. Thanks to the latest SSD controller for both models, users can enjoy constant high speed even when working with extremely large data files that are copied or overwritten many times. These ultra-fast speeds make professional workflow more efficient, whether you want to process high resolution photos or 4K videos, duplicate original files to another device or edit lots of images at once.  

Secure your data

These external SSD drives include four helpful features to make sure that your data is always safe. Firstly, with password protection, data can be secured with hardware encryption providing AES 256-bit encryption without any speed decline. In addition, dual password protection is supported on the SSD Utility app which is free to download. The owner (administrator) can share the locked drive with other users using just the user password, without having to reveal the administrator password. Plus, with cross platform compatibility, users can set a password to lock from a Mac then open from Windows PCs or Android smartphones, and vice versa. 

The Lifetime Checker, also available on the SSD Utility app, helps check the condition of the storage drive so the user can be prepared when they’re reaching their limit. Through the SSD Utility app, updates or upgrades can be applied to keep the device working perfectly. Finally, file rescue software reduces fears over losing precious data. Accidentally deleted files including RAW or high-resolution videos can be recovered, giving the user greater peace of mind.  

Both models with be available in 500GB, 1TB and 2TB storage capacities. The SL-M series and SL-C series will be available from summer 2019 and pricing is to be confirmed at a later date.
