Lexar's new Armor 700 SSD promises not only fast transfer speeds but also protection from the elements thanks to an IP66 rating.
Lexar has a new portable SSD called the Armor 700 that promises not only fast transfer speeds but also protection from the elements thanks to an IP66 rating.
First, on the speed side, the Armor 700 uses USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 to bring up to 2,000 MB/s reqd and write speeds with compatible computers. While more common on Windows PCs, Apple users are likely out of luck as Macs and MacBook Pros almost entirely skipped USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 and went with USB 4.0 instead — there is one exception, but it’s an older laptop that Apple doesn’t actively sell anymore. All of Apple’s M-series laptops use USB 4.0 which while it is backward compatible with 3.
Data throughput is not the Armor 700’s only trick, however. As the name suggests, Lexar put significant effort into making the portable SSD highly rugged. The IP66 rating means that the Armor 700 is fully protected and sealed against the ingress of dust and is protected “against powerful water jets.” This rating is just one stage below protection from temporary immersion in water.
