Lexar's new SSD trades port for a proprietary cable to achieve extreme thinness
The Muse Ultra-Slim Portable SSD measures just 3.8mm at its thickest point, tapering to 1mm at the edges, thanks to high-density NAND stacking and a custom thin PCB. It offers read speeds up to 1,050MB/s and write speeds up to 1,000MB/s, enough for recording 4K ProRes video from a compatible iPhone. However, the drive lacks a standard USB-C port and relies on a magnetically attached proprietary SnapLink cable, which could be accidentally knocked off during transfers.
