Lexar Showcases Advanced SL500 Portable SSD (and more) at NAB Show 2026 in Collaboration with AFA

Lexar has collaborated with the AFA (Argentina Football Association) to spread the message that Lexar, just like the hardworking and dedicated football players in the AFA, are always pushing to be better and work smarter. This is their main theme as they present improved technology at NAB Show 2026. Some of the showcased products include the SL500 Portable SSD, a featured series model that prioritizes compactness and thermal control; their Armor 700 Portable SSD, focusing on speed and durability; and their Professional Silver Plus micro SDXC UHS-I card, one of the fastest on the market and essential for high-quality drone shots and coverage. At Lexar, there is a solution to any tech camera issue you might have. 

First, the SL500 Portable SSD. This model is being released mid-May of 2026, and is primarily focused on being able to capture high-speed movements, such as the moves of football freestylers in the AFA. It features a sleek look inspired by the AFA and is both slim and portable. 

Second, Lexar has recently begun shipping their 8 TB Armor 700 Portable SSD’s, this product is sports a rugged and durable design. It is waterproof, sturdy, and has a drop resistance of up to 3 meters. This SSD can support mirrorless cameras and record videos up to 6K. 

Lastly, the Silver Plus 2 TB UHS-I Card can read up to 255 MBs per second. This model is one of the fastest TB UHS-I Cards currently on the market. When filming with drones or action cameras in particular, the 8K resolution can easily eat up memory, which is why having that 2 TB space is essential for those space-filling shots. With both high capacity and fast speeds, it does it all. The Silver Plus 2 TB UHS-I Card will be available later this year. 

Lexar can be an excellent fit for independent filmmakers who use a variety of cameras, with their SL500 Portable SSD working well for action cameras and fast moving capture, their Armour 700 Portable SSD’s compatible with mirrorless cameras, and their Silver Plus 2 TB UHS-I Card filling the need for an overall high-performance card. Their selection and its variety make it easy to find what you need for any specific problem, streamlining your workflow in the process.
