Picture this: you're out filming with your iPhone, capturing some amazing footage. But then, you run into a problem. Your iPhone's storage is full, and you can't record anymore. What do you do? You could use an external drive, but then you have to deal with the hassle of carrying it around and finding a way to attach it to your iPhone.

        Enter the Lexar SL500 SSD. This isn't just any external drive. It's a slim, lightweight SSD that can handle Apple ProRes video recording. It's designed to work seamlessly with the iPhone's MagSafe technology, making it a perfect fit for power users who need extra storage on the go.

        The Lexar SL500 SSD is incredibly fast. It offers USB 3. 2 Gen 2x2 performance, with read speeds up to 2, 000 MB/s and write speeds up to 1, 800 MB/s. This means you can record 4K 60 FPS video directly to the drive without any lag. It supports Apple ProRes recording, which captures stunning detail but also takes up a lot of storage space. One minute of 4K ProRes video takes up 6 GB of storage.

        The SL500 is encased in a silicone sleeve with a built-in magnetic ring. This allows it to attach securely to the iPhone's MagSafe ring. The connection is solid, and the drive itself is lightweight, so it doesn't add much bulk or weight to the iPhone. The silicone case also provides protection for the drive without adding much bulk or weight.

        The kit comes with a very flexible USB-C-to-USB-C cable, a lanyard to prevent dropping the drive, and a sticky magnetic ring. This ring allows you to attach the drive to other surfaces, like a desk or laptop lid.

        The Lexar SL500 SSD is available in 2 TB and 4 TB versions. This means you can choose the capacity that best suits your needs. The 2 TB version retails for $206, and the 4 TB version retails for $329.  It's a bit pricey, but for serious videographers, it's a worthwhile investment.

        The Lexar SL500 SSD is a game-changer for iPhone videographers. It provides a convenient, streamlined solution for extra storage. The MagSafe compatibility makes it easy to attach and detach from the iPhone, and the flexible USB-C cable ensures a secure connection. The drive's speed and capacity make it perfect for recording high-quality video.
