With the continuous advancements in smartphone technology, capturing high-quality video has become increasingly common. Features like ProRes on iPhones and APV on Android devices have transformed mobile phones into powerful video production tools, generating massive files that quickly consume internal storage.
Addressing this challenge, Lexar has unveiled the Muse Ultraslim Portable SSD, positioning it as the thinnest portable SSD globally. Ranging from 1mm to 3.8mm in thickness, this innovative storage solution offers 512GB or 1TB capacities and includes a magnetic carry sleeve. This design allows for seamless attachment to iPhones via MagSafe or to Android phones with magnetic cases, such as the Google Pixel 11 series.
The Muse Ultraslim Portable SSD boasts impressive read speeds of up to 1,050MB/s and write speeds of up to 1,000MB/s. These speeds not only meet but exceed Samsung's minimum requirements for APV video capture, which demand 200MB/s for 4K/60fps and 400MB/s for 4K/120fps or 8K/30fps. Its compatibility extends to iPhones, iPads, Macs, and various USB-C devices, supporting up to 4K/120fps ProRes video recording on iPhones, making it an indispensable tool for professional mobile videographers who frequently work with high-resolution content on devices like Samsung's 2026 flagships and the vivo X300 Ultra.
This device exemplifies how technological innovation can directly support and enhance creative endeavors, particularly in the burgeoning field of mobile videography. By providing high-speed, portable storage, Lexar empowers users to capture and manage large video files effortlessly, fostering a more efficient and professional mobile content creation workflow. This product not only solves a practical problem but also encourages more advanced and ambitious uses of smartphone cameras, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in mobile media production.
