Lexar Shows Off ES5, a MagSafe-Ready Small SSD for Folks Who Make Stuff
Lexar has brought out the ES5 Magnetic Portable SSD, a new drive made to hook right onto iPhones that work with MagSafe. This tool is aimed at folks who create stuff, giving them a spot to keep big, clear videos in real time without filling up the phone's own space.
Fast Speed for Pro Videos
The drive hits read and write speeds of up to 2000 MB/s. This fast speed lets you record 4K Apple ProRes videos at 120 fps and Samsung Pro videos in 8K at 30 fps.
Lexar says the SSD works well with gear that can save to an external drive, like the iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max, and Samsung Galaxy S25 line.
Tough Build and Easy to Plug In
The Lexar ES5 is made to last and easy to use. Its main tough points include:
- Toughness: The shell is safe with an IP65 score for keeping out dust and water and can handle drops from up to three meters high.
- Plugging in: A USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port lets the drive link to lots of phones, tablets, cameras, and more.
- Easy to Carry: It comes with a cable that you can also use as a handy loop for carrying.
Helpful Software and Apps
Lexar also offers the Lexar App, which sets up auto back-ups of photos and videos from your phone. This helps keep your phone's space free.

You can get the Lexar ES5 in two sizes with these prices in Europe:
