Lexar’s Tiny SSD lets you record 4K ProRes videos without clogging up your iPhone’s storage

Everyone knows the iPhone has a great camera – Lexar gives you a great SSD to go with it.

When I bought my iPhone 15 Pro Max, I knew storage was going to be a problem in the long run. With the ability to record in 4K ProRes and capture high-quality images, the iPhone’s cameras are pretty state-of-the-art. The problem is, they’re so good that they’ll wipe out your phone’s internal storage in about a month if you’re not careful. This is all by design, unfortunately. Apple also makes money from its iCloud subscription. iCloud may work for a solid 80% of regular consumers, but for mobile photographers/videographers, content creators, and camera enthusiasts, constantly interacting with a cloud drive is not only annoying, but counterintuitive.

This is where Lexar comes in with its Go Portable SSD and Multiport Hub, designed specifically for people who record media in high-resolution formats. Barely the size of your thumb, the Go SSD has a capacity of up to 2TB and plugs directly into your phone, giving you the benefit of being able to record directly to the device without clogging up your phone’s storage or having to upload to the cloud. It plugs directly into your phone, so no additional cables are required. Alternatively, it can be paired with Lexar’s USB-C hub, which you can also connect other devices to, such as a power bank, to keep your iPhone running during long recordings that can last several hours.

This innovative SSD + Hub tag team is specifically designed to complement the iPhone 15 Pro models and offers up to 2TB of additional storage – a significant advantage for those who need a lot of space for their projects. In fact, Lexar designed the SSD specifically for people who like to record in ProRes 4K@60fps.

With up to 2TB of storage and additional USB-C ports, it’s perfect for recording large ProRes videos.

Offloading footage to the SSD allows users to continue recording without interruption, enabling longer shoots and more demanding productions. But the benefits go beyond storage capacity. The built-in USB-C hub turns the iPhone into a versatile production hub, allowing for the connection of essential accessories such as microphones, lights, and external power sources.

Both the SSD and hub feature the same machined aluminum design, with a slim form factor that complements the anodized metal finish of the iPhone and MacBook. The SSD and hub also click together perfectly, almost visually forming one product, with a small thumb groove to help you pull them out after use. The Go Portable SSD and hub are designed to be used together, but can also operate independently depending on the filmmaker’s specific needs. The SSD itself is particularly compact, measuring just 1.71 x 0.98 x 0.32 inches, and has a curved connector that fits snugly behind the iPhone when plugged in, ensuring a streamlined setup with no protruding cables.

Slightly larger at 2.71 x 1.71 x 0.32 inches, the hub sits flush with the SSD and offers four USB-C ports for connecting additional peripherals like microphones, power banks, gimbals, and other accessories. The thoughtful design also includes a 30W power delivery feature that makes it easy to charge devices while supporting data transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps.

The Go Portable SSD stores all your media locally, allowing you to access, transfer, and process media files on multiple devices without the need for a stable internet connection. This SSD offers read speeds of up to 1050MB/s and write speeds of up to 1000MB/s, allowing you to access files almost instantly and perform fast data transfers that increase the efficiency of your workflow. This makes it an attractive option for photographers, videographers, and other digital professionals who need reliable, high-speed storage solutions.

When your data is stored offline, it is impenetrable to hacking, data leaks and data theft. For users who fear theft, the Go Portable SSD also features 256-bit AES encryption, allowing you to protect your media from unauthorized access with a password. Be sure to sign the non-disclosure agreement before you start filming!

While the focus is primarily on iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max users, Lexar’s new products are also compatible with iPads and Android devices that support USB-C and OTG functionality. This expands the scope for mobile filmmakers across platforms, although the main market remains based on Apple’s latest devices. The Go Portable SSD is available in 1TB and 2TB capacities to meet different storage needs. Both models feature an IP65 rating, ensuring protection against dust and splashes, allowing users to film in different conditions.

You can either opt for the SSD alone or go for the SSD and hub combo. The latter also includes a silicone protective case, a male-female adapter, a male-male adapter, a cold shoe adapter cable for camera equipment, a storage box, a storage bag, and 20 label stickers that you can stick on the SSD to keep track of the media stored on it. The Lexar Professional Go SSD and hub both ship worldwide and each product comes with a 5-year warranty.
