Lexar 2TB Professional Go Portable SSD w/Hub, Supports Apple 4K 60fps ProRes, Up to 1050MB/s, USB 3.2 Gen 2, Rugged, IP65, Ultracompact, Compatible w/iPhone 15/16, External SSD (LSL400S002T-RNSNU)

I bought the 2TB version because they were all out of the 1TB version, and this is a fantastic product. It was way smaller than I expected, which is a good thing. It comes in its own small plastic case, as well as an small extension thing if you wish to put it on the back of your phone. It is an extremely secure connection when plugging into anything, its not loose whatsoever. It also comes with a few extra labels. As of functionality, it works extremely well. I was able to record Apple ProRes Log footage directly from my iPhone to the SSD, and there was absolutely no delay. When recording in 4k 25fps, it had around 9 hours of straight recording time. When transferring files from the drive to the computer, it also worked just fine, and with the fast speed they advertised. The design is really nice, with some ridges to grip when you pull it out. Its extremely easy to use, and I recommend watching a tutorial online if you feel unsure. The actual quality of the material is nice, and it comes with a rubber-like material around the whole thing to protect it from damage. Overall you get exactly what you paid for.

This little yellow SSD is faster than the thoughts racing through my head at 3am. I plugged it in, blinked, and my 4K footage was already halfway copied. It’s so fast and compact, I’m 90% sure it’s powered by sorcery or some alien tech from Area 51. Rugged? I dropped it once and it bounced like it was built for parkour. Also, it’s bright yellow — so I finally stopped losing my drives in my backpack. If Batman edited YouTube videos, this would be in his utility belt.

I’ve tested almost every solution available to add external storage to my iPhone - MagSafe pucks, mounts, cables, etc. This is the best option I’ve used - small, performant, easy to use, etc. I’m knocking it down by a star because it isn’t the cheapest option and you need to make sure that you have plenty of clearance around the usbc port to allow it to sit flush on the phone.

I use this with an iPhone 16 pro to record pro res footage and it works flawlessly. The phone recognizes it immediately and chooses it to store these files automatically. I’ve recorded pro res continually for over 20 minutes without a pause and experienced no problems. It does get a little warm but nothing to cause concern. The only downside is that you must use the supplied connector to attach it to anything, for some reason the usb c connector on the item is not tight enough to directly connect to a standard usb c port so the supplied connector must be used. Kinda awkward but not a huge hassle. Overall a great storage option.

Pro-Res files get huge. This keeps me shooting on the fly with my 15 Pro without having to worry about onboard storage and running out of space. Perfect size and solution, fixed perfectly to the back via a USB-C U clip and stays out of the way. The Hub is an added plus, and next on my list.

Work flawlessly between iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Windows devices. I use it for recording ProRes direct to it. Then I can transfer 400-600 GB files to other devices.

I was very excited about this add on storage,as I’m taking two big trips this year. It arrived yesterday and I returned it today. Plugged it in and the only thing that happened was that it got pretty warm. I was concerned with that given that nothing showed up on my screen?? Maybe I was supposed to do something, but no real instructions as to what to do?? So will have to think of something else.

Performng ok but looking cheapy. Ripped off😰How come this plastic device so so~ expensive~Don’t buy it. So many afordable options out there.
