Sony also prepared to release data recovery software on the 19th, the most tenacious SSD of 2TB.

Sony will launch the portable SSD "SL-M" series on June 19th. In addition to restraining the decline of writing speed, it also has the characteristics of resistance to impact when falling, which is expected to be mainly used for preservation, editing, processing and other purposes after shooting. The capacity and market estimated prices are as follows:

Recently, with the rapid transition from HDD to SSD, can SSD handle large-capacity files smoothly? In the SL-M series, it is worth noting that the highest write / read speed is 1000MB/s when connecting to a device that supports USB 3.2 Gen2.

The company's unique firmware speed degradation control is also one of its features, especially when repeatedly writing and copying large-volume files, it can maintain high-speed transmission.

According to the company, "when writing an average of 500 1 GB files to portable SSD formatted in exFAT (EexFat) format, the speed of traditional Sony products (foreign specifications) decreased by 13%, while the speed of the SL-M series did not decline."

By the way, the SL-M series can also be used as extended storage for "PlayStation 5" and "PlayStation 4", but since PS5 games can only be launched from built-in SSD (the company investigated), it can be used without problem if it is simply for the purpose of increasing the storage capacity of PlayStation.

In addition, the data recovery software "memory Card File Rescue (Windows/macOS)" can provide download discounts for buyers. Please note that you need to use exFAT or FAT32 formatting to get support in this software.

Although it is the above specification, it ensures firmness and durability. The aluminum integrated forming main body suitable for wavefront treatment is adopted. By setting a gap between the main body and the shell, it can withstand the maximum pressure of 6000kgf and the bending of maximum 2000kgf, and fall from a height of up to 3m. Even the cushion of heavy equipment can prevent physical damage.

In addition, the bundled 2 rubber straps and stickers are also helpful when holding notes and product management. In addition, USB 3.2 Gen2 compatible USB Type-C-USB Type-C cables and USB Type-C-USB standard-A cables are also available.

The SL-M series is characterized by the ability to transmit large amounts of data at high speed and to achieve so-called tough specifications such as dustproof, waterproof and impact resistance. It provides a strong choice for the portable SSD market, launching large-capacity and high-price products.
