Lexar is preparing to launch a Kickstarter campaign for their new product, the Lexar Professional Go Portable SSD with Hub.
This portable SSD is designed to be universally compatible, particularly tailored for use with the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro, enabling the recording of Apple 4K ProRes videos externally. Its ultra-compact design allows it to store up to 2TB of data.
Compact Design
Lexar, known for its data storage and memory solutions, has developed the Go Portable SSD, a small yet powerful storage solution. The kit measures 2.71×1.71×0.32 inches (6.88×4.35×0.81 cm), and the SSD itself is even smaller at 1.71×0.98×0.32 inches (4.35×2.48×0.81 cm). This compact size makes the SSD easy to attach to a phone without hindering handheld recording. The entire kit weighs only about 35.83 grams (0.079 lbs), providing up to 2TB of storage space.
