Lexar SL660

The Lexar SL660 portable solid-state drive utilizes USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 technology to deliver blazing fast read and write speeds up to 2000 MB/s. This allows users to transfer massive video files or games in a matter of seconds. To achieve these speeds, it must be plugged into a compatible port on your PC or Mac.

Yes, you can plug the Lexar SL660 directly into the USB port of a PlayStation 5 to expand your game storage. While it is fast, the PS5's USB ports do not support the 2000 MB/s speed of the drive, capping it at closer to 1000 MB/s. You will be able to play backward-compatible PS4 games directly from the drive, though PS5 games must be moved to the internal SSD to play.

The SL660 features a sleek, aluminum unibody design that provides excellent protection against drops, shocks, and vibrations. It is also designed to be resistant to dust and extreme temperatures. However, unlike some rugged drives, it is not explicitly rated for full water submersion.

The RGB lighting on the SL660 adds a flashy gaming aesthetic to the drive, but it does draw a small amount of additional power. The impact on your laptop battery life is generally negligible compared to the power drawn by the actual data transfer operations. If you prefer, you can often disable the lighting via Lexar's software suite.
