Lexar is gearing up to launch a Kickstarter campaign for their Lexar Professional Go Portable SSD with Hub. It is universally compatible but was designed with the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro in mind, making it possible to record Apple 4K ProRes videos externally. It’s ultra-compact and can store up to 2TB, so let’s have a closer look at this portable SSD!Lexar is well-known for their data storage and memory solutions, such as their memory card Lexar CFexpress 4.0 Type B Diamond. With the Go Portable, they’ve truly come up with something interesting – a super-compact SSD that attaches to your phone or camera with an included hub featuring four Type-C ports, providing both storage and connectivity solutions in one package.The Professional Go Portable SSD and Hub mounted on the phone.

The kit is impressively compact, measuring just 2.71×1.71×0.32in (6.88×4.35×0.81cm), while the Portable SSD itself is only 1.71×0.98×0.32in (4.35×2.48×0.81cm). This means the overall width of the kit is slightly narrower than that of an iPhone 15 Pro & Pro Max. Additionally, the SSD’s thickness is only 8.25mm/0.32in, which is close to that of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, and the entire kit weighs only about 35.83gms/0.079lbs, so its design should make it easy to attach to a phone and shouldn’t interfere with handheld recording. Plus, it offers up to 2TB of space.Lexar Professional Go Portable SSD with Hub.
