GoKawiilLexar unveils Muse, a 0.15-inch portable SSD using magnetic pogo-pin cable
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.
