Lenovo debuts new magnetic portable SSD with up to 2 TB storage support

Lenovo has introduced a new magnetic portable SSD, the Y910. With built-in magnets, it aims to offer seamless storage expansion with MagSafe-compatbile iPhones. This external SSD should also work with Android phones that work with MagSafe accessories.

However, the main highlight of the Lenovo Y910 is the rated read speed, which is advertised at 2,000 MB/s. With a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface, this portable SSD is said to be able to transfer 1 GB of data in just 1 second. Thanks to this high-speed transfer speed, the company also confidently claims that it can be used as a reliable portable game storage solution.

The write speed isn't bad as well. More specifically, Lenovo says that the portable magnetic SSD can write at up to 1900 MB/s. This makes it a good option for those who are looking for a storage solution to reliably record 4K ProRes videos with.

As for the capacity of this external storage, it's available in two options: 1 TB and 2 TB. According to the company, the former can hold up to 254,936 high-resolution photos, while the latter is advertised to hold 509,872 of the same high-resolution images.

Other highlights of the Y910 magnetic mobile SSD include a lightweight build, compatibility with Windows and macOS, and a compact form factor. The price for the 1 TB version in China is CNY 559, around $76, while the 2 TB option goes for CNY 889, about $122. Lenovo hasn't shared any details on global availability and pricing yet, but the Orico A20Plus MagPro is a good alternative if you're looking for something that's already available in the international market (512 GB curr. $59.99 on Amazon).
