A 4TB version is also planned, but availability isn\u2019t expected until Q1 of 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The ES5 is compatible with any USB-equipped device and delivers read and write speeds of up to 2000MB\/s. It\u2019s quite a bit larger than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/8\/8\/24215951\/lexar-ssd-iphone-15-pro-storage-hub-usb-c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lexar\u2019s Professional Go Portable SSD<\/a> that debuted over a year ago, but also twice as fast. It\u2019s also compatible with mobile devices like tablets and smartphones, but Lexar is targeting Apple users specifically with support for MagSafe, so you can stick the ES5 to the back of any iPhone model that supports MagSafe accessories. Lexar also includes a metal ring that can be stuck to other devices or surfaces where you might want to mount the drive.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/lexar_ssd2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0.02398081534772,100,99.952038369305\" alt=\"The Lexar ES5 portable SSD with a USB-C cable lanyard attached.\" title=\"The Lexar ES5 portable SSD with a USB-C cable lanyard attached.\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"&lt;em&gt;The ES5 includes a short USB-C cable that attaches to the SSD like a lanyard.&lt;\/em&gt; | Image: Lexar\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Lexar\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">When connected to iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models, the ES5 unlocks 4K Apple ProRes recording at up to 60fps, or up to 120fps with the iPhone 16 and 17. When paired with the Galaxy S25, the drive is fast enough to capture Samsung Pro Video clips at up to 8K\/30fps. The SSD also has an IP65 dust and water resistant rating so splashes are okay, but it won\u2019t survive a complete dunking. Should it fall onto dryer and harder surfaces, Lexar says the ES5 is drop resistant from heights up to 3 meters, or just shy of 10 feet.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ES5 SSD is MagSafe compatible. | Image: Lexar First announced in July, Lexar\u2019s ES5 Magnetic Portable SSD is now [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1373","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-non-classe"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1373","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1373"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1373\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1373"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1373"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
