Lexar launches durable high-speed SSD with support for MagSafe and direct ProRes recording
The newly launched Lexar ES5 is available in two capacities: The 1 TB model will set you back €150 (approx. US$176), whilst doubling the storage raises the price to €220 (approx. US$259), offering better value per gigabyte – as is often the case.
The ES5 is designed to be an all-round portable SSD that delivers flagship performance. Equipped with a USB-C port, the external drive can connect to a wide range of devices, including laptops and game consoles. Furthermore, it can magnetically attach to MagSafe-compatible devices, such as recent iPhone models, for added convenience. According to Lexar, the ES5 supports direct recording of both Apple ProRes video at 4K 60/120 fps and Samsung Pro Video at 8K 30 fps.
The external drive boasts transfer speeds of up to 2,000 MB/s over USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, enabling users to back up massive amounts of data quickly. Automatic photo and video backup is also available in the Lexar App. Built for durability, the ES5 is rated at IP65 for dust and water resistance and promises to survive drops from up to three metres.
