At IFA Berlin 2026, Lexar showed its new Muse SSD, a drive just 3.8mm thick at its thickest point that tapers to 1mm at the edges. It comes in 512GB and 1TB capacities, offers up to 1,050 MB/s read and 1,000 MB/s write speeds, and uses a proprietary PogoPin connection with a magnetic SnapLink cable instead of USB-C. Lexar says it supports direct external ProRes 4K recording at up to 120 fps on compatible iPhones.
Lexar unveiled the Muse Ultra-Slim Portable SSD, a drive just 3.8mm thick that tapers to 1mm at its edge, making it too slim to house a standard USB-C port. Instead it connects via SnapLink, a proprietary magnetic pogo-pin cable, and comes with a mounting sleeve designed to attach to MagSafe-compatible Apple devices. It will ship in 512GB and 1TB versions later this year, rated at up to 1,050 MB/s read and 1,000 MB/s write speeds.
Lexar has introduced the Muse Ultraslim Portable SSD, which it says is the thinnest portable SSD on the market at 1mm to 3.8mm thick. It comes in 512GB and 1TB capacities, includes a magnetic carry sleeve for MagSafe or magnetic phone cases, and works with iPhones, iPads, Macs and other USB-C devices, supporting up to 4K/120fps ProRes capture.
Lexar marked its 30th anniversary by launching the Muse, an external SSD measuring just 3.8mm thick, which the company calls the world's thinnest portable drive. To achieve that slimness, it uses a proprietary magnetic SnapLink cable with pogo pins instead of a built-in port, plus an optional sleeve that lets the drive attach magnetically to a phone. The drive offers USB 10 Gbps speeds, with claimed reads up to 1,050 MB/s and writes up to 1,000 MB/s.
Lexar announced its Muse Ultra-Slim Portable SSD, arriving later this year in 512GB and 1TB capacities, measuring just 3.8mm at its thickest point and tapering to 1mm at the edges. The drive achieves this by dropping a standard USB-C port in favor of a proprietary magnetic SnapLink cable connecting via pogo pins, while still delivering read speeds up to 1,050MB/s and write speeds up to 1,000MB/s, enough for 4K ProRes video capture at 120fps on compatible iPhones.
