Lexar has introduced the ES5 Magnetic Portable SSD, a purpose-built storage solution for iPhone creators that combines MagSafe convenience with ProRes SSD speeds. The compact device offers up to 2000MB/s read/write speeds, supports Apple ProRes formats, and features IP65 dust/water resistance. Its soft-touch rubber finish and 80g weight make it comfortable to hold while shooting.

The ES5 shines when paired with the Blackmagic Camera app, allowing direct recording to external storage without consuming iPhone internal space. Unlike standard SSDs, this device feels purpose-built for iPhone videography with strong magnets that attach securely even without MagSafe cases. The included USB-C cable doubles as a lanyard, and the SSD's performance makes it feel like internal storage during recording sessions.

Priced at $199 for 1TB and $399 for 2TB, the ES5 offers significant savings over upgrading iPhone storage options. Lexar's renowned reliability combined with thoughtful design makes this accessory a practical solution for iPhone users constantly battling storage constraints. The ES5 demonstrates how MagSafe and USB-C are enabling genuinely useful accessories that solve real problems without adding workflow friction.
