Hacray launches 2TB MagDrive SSD for Apple iPhone Pro and Pro Max smartphones
Hacray has launched the 2 TB MagDrive external solid-state drive that uses the MagSafe interface to magnetically mount to Apple iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max smartphones. The drive allows videographers to record videos using the highest-quality 4K120 ProRes mode for over an hour.
Apple has included the ability on recent iPhone Pro variants to record videos using the higher-quality ProRes codec rather than the common MPEG-4 H.264 or H.265 codecs. The ProRes codec stores more information about each video frame, allowing editors to better manipulate color, exposure, and more during post-production. However, at the highest available setting of 4K 120 fps, filming in ProRes requires a minimum of 440 MB/sec. of storage space, which fills up the internal storage of iPhones very quickly.
The 2 TB MagDrive addresses this problem with swappable SSDs that can transfer data over 20Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 connections at over 1,000 MB/sec. reading or writing data. The low-power drive requires only 1.55 watts in use and 0.005 watts in standby. The SSD has Power Loss Protection (PLP) technology to prevent data loss when the drive is suddenly disconnected.
The aluminum-body Hacray MagDrive measures 3.3 x 2.4 x 0.4 in. (85×61×10 mm) and weighs 2.7 oz. (76 g). The strong MagSafe magnet in this drive prevents the drive from coming loose even when the iPhone is vigorously shaken. The drive is formatted as an exFAT drive and is universally compatible with MacOS and Windows computers for offloading videos. The 2 TB MagDrive has an MSRP of 44,980 yen and is available on Amazon US for $272.10.

HACRAY Releases MagSafe Adsorption Portable SSD "MagDrive" 2TB for iPhone
MagDrive is a portable SSD that achieves ultra-fast data transfer of up to 20Gbps with a USB-C connection. It can be attached to iPhone with MagSafe and provides a smart and efficient data transfer environment. It is compatible with Apple's ProRes shooting, and the feature is that data can be saved directly to the SSD during shooting. This allows you to shoot high-resolution 4K without consuming your iPhone's built-in storage. In addition, data editing and data transfer to a PC after shooting can be performed smoothly, greatly improving work efficiency.
This product is ideal for those who shoot with iPhone ProRes, those who frequently transfer data from video recording to PC, and those who are having trouble with the iPhone's internal storage.
This time, we have added a new 2TB model to the lineup with a storage capacity that is even larger than the previous model. The MagDrive 2TB is a next-generation storage device that meets a variety of needs, from professional shooting sites to everyday video editing.

Product features
Appearance at the time of shooting HACRAY "MagDrive"
MagSafe-compatible portable SSDs
It adsorbs to the iPhone with a magnet. Since the iPhone and SSD are integrated, it is easy to handle. You can do it comfortably, such as doing other work while transferring data to the SSD.
Ultra-fast data transfer up to 20Gbps
It uses USB 3.2 Gen2×2 for transfer speeds of up to 20Gbps (gigabits per second).
Operation screen during shooting: HACRAY "MagDrive"
Save directly as you take Apple ProRes shooting with compatible external storage
It is an SSD that is compatible with the "function to save directly to external storage during ProRes shooting" implemented from the iPhone 15 Pro series. While shooting, you can save the recorded data directly to the SSD. It won't stay on your iPhone's internal storage. It secures the capacity of the internal storage of the iPhone and realizes high-speed data transfer without hassle to PCs and tablets.
iPhone supports 4K 60fps shooting only when connected to interactive storage. It is ideal for those who want to edit at a later time with the highest quality. With MagSafe adsorption, the SSD does not hang from the iPhone, and shooting can be done very comfortably.
Efficient heat dissipation
In general, the work of recording directly while shooting tends to generate heat on the SSD due to the large amount of data processing. Miniaturized products generate more heat.
This product has two heat-conductive silicon sheets inside, and the generated heat is efficiently discharged through the sheets to achieve stable shooting.
Bus-powered design that can be used immediately after connecting
There is no need for a separate power supply or driver installation. It is compatible with Windows 11, macOS, iOS, and Android, and you can set it up just by connecting it to your device.
Equipped with Power Loss Protection (PLP) technology, it prevents data loss or corruption in the event of a sudden interruption in data transfer, such as a shutdown or forced shutdown.
Ultra-slim design with aluminum enclosure
It has a 1cm thin design that fits well in the hand. It also features a minimalist and simple appearance that has been stripped down to the waste of the design.
Cables up to 20Gbps included
A USB-C to C cable for ultra-fast data transfer of up to 20Gbps is included as standard.
Comfortably save videos while shooting with your iPhone. HACRAY「MagDrive」
