By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Lexar has introduced the Muse, a portable SSD designed to be the world's thinnest at just 0.15 inches thick. This drive utilizes a proprietary magnetic pogo-pin cable and includes a magnetic sleeve for mounting onto smartphones, targeting users who record video directly from their iPhones. While achieving its slim profile, the Muse makes functional design compromises but offers typical 10 Gbps speeds up to 1,050 MB/s read and 1,000 MB/s write. It will be available in 512GB and 1TB capacities in Q4 2026, with pricing yet to be announced. AI

    Lexar announces ‘world’s thinnest portable SSD’ in celebration of the brand’s 30th anniversary – Lexar Muse drive achieves 0.15-inch thickness with proprietary pogo-pin cable, magnetic sleeve for phone mounting

    Lexar’s slimmest-ever Muse drive aims for a barely there design that magnetically attaches to your iPhone for recording directly on the drive. But to achieve its petite 80×48×3.8 mm dimensions, it uses a proprietary cable and a magnetic sleeve for mounting.
