Lexar Armor 700: Robust and fast SSD doubles as ProRes storage
Armor 700: High-performance rugged SSD.
The Armor 700 is a fast and robust SSD from Lexar that can be used in a variety of scenarios, including as Apple ProRes storage and thus as a storage medium for film recordings. The device is compatible with various platforms and encryption is possible.
Lexar has a new mobile SSD on offer, the Lexar Amor 700, which is characterized by a high level of robustness. Specifically, the device is IP66 certified, meaning that it can withstand dust, water and drops of up to three meters. It can also be used at temperatures between 0 and 50 °C, and stored at between -40 °C and 85 °C, making it suitable for harsh environments.
The SSD is available in three different storage capacities: 1, 2 and 4 TB. The maximum data transfer speed is specified as 2,000 MByte/s in read and write data transfers. Other devices are connected via USB 3.2 Gen 2x2. A cable is not permanently installed; instead, different USB cables can be used. The 8.6 x 5.4 x 1.3 cm SSD, which weighs just under 80 grams, can be used on various systems. The possibility of using it as ProRes storage on Apple devices is heavily advertised, which means that 4K videos recorded with the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max can be easily saved to the Lexar Armor 700. 256-bit encryption is possible via Lexar DataShield.
The 1, 2 and 4 TB models are all available at Amazon, but are currently out of stock.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
