capturing 4k footage with an iphone might quickly use up a terabyte of storage. lexar’s new professional go portable ssd with hub offers up to 2 tb of additional storage. it also allows mobile filmmakers to capture prores video at 60 frames per second and provides a couple of extra usb-c connections for attaching other equipment.

several businesses have released ssd drives made explicitly for the iphone. these drives enable 60 frames per second of 4k prores video recording, which is limited to 30 frames per second when recording to the internal storage of the 15 pro and 15 pro max. lexar’s solution’s unique feature is its small size and matching usb-c hub, which ensures that the iphone can still be used with devices like handheld gimbals.
a four-port usb-c hub can also be used with the ssd, although the ssd and the iphone’s angled connector take up two ports. the remaining two usb-c ports can connect accessories such as lighting, microphones or an external power source with a maximum power delivery of 30w.
although lexar is primarily marketing the ssd and hub as an attachment for the iphone 15 pro and 15 pro max, android devices with a usb-c connector, usb on-the-go (utg) support and “a usb load capacity of above 4.5w” can also use it.
through kickstarter, lexar can offer customers its professional go portable ssd with hub at a discounted price for those who contribute to the campaign. the ssd costs $129 for the 1tb model and $209 for the 2tb model when purchased alone. accessories like a protective case and an angled usb-c converter are also included. the price of the 1tb ssd increases to $159 with the usb-c hub accessory or $239 with the 2tb option. in addition, accessories like a cold shoe adapter for attaching tripods and other photographic gear are included.
with deliveries expected in september, the full retail price for the 1tb ssd with hub and the 2tb ssd with hub will be closer to $239 and $349, respectively.
