1. Foreword: Fish and Bear's Paws in the Vlog Era
With the advancement of science and technology and the development of society, people's ways of recording their wonderful lives are becoming more and more advanced, and the photos of a visit here can no longer meet people's needs.
The advent of smartphones has directly popularized video shooting to everyone, and Vlogs have become popular overnight, just because shooting videos is no longer an unattainable technology, and everyone can take out their mobile phones to take a picture.
At the same time, people's requirements for video are also rising, and no one wants to watch a 720p video on a 4K big TV at home. The video function of the mobile phone is also advancing synchronously, all kinds of 4K, high frame rate, high bit rate, what HDR, Dolby Vision, and the technology that can be added have been added.
The price is that the volume of video files is also growing, and the storage space of mobile phones is not unlimited.
雷克沙Lexar Professional Go手机固态硬盘摄影套装就是答案。
The Lexar Professional Go SSD Photography Kit is designed specifically for iPhone photography, with a silver metal casing that complements the iPhone, and a plug-and-play design that eliminates the need for cables.
针对苹果ProRes格式的超高码流,雷克沙Lexar Professional Go手机固态硬盘搭载了USB3.2 Gen 2接口,提供了最高1050MB/s的读取速度和最高1000MB/s的写入速度,轻松应对iPhone最高ProRes格式的外录需求。
雷克沙Lexar Professional Go手机固态硬盘的外形极为小巧，甚至比自己用2230规格SSD DIY的移动硬盘还要小一半左右。
And there is a USB plug designed for iPhones, which is biased to one side, so that it will not block the microphone of the phone.
The docking station in the kit provides 4 USB ports, which can easily charge the iPhone while connecting to the SSD external recording.
You can also use a USB port to connect to other needs, such as an external microphone or fill light.
IP65 dustproof and waterproof design, even reliable for outdoor use.
2. Appearance introduction: small but exquisite, easy to expand, and amazing capacity
When using a Lexar Professional Go SSD on its own, it's hard to imagine that such a small form factor includes a huge 2TB of high-speed capacity.
Its length, width and height are only 44mm*25.5mm*8.3mm, and its weight is only 13.1 grams, which is directly installed on the iPhone 16Pro, and the weight is only 6.5% larger, which is even lighter than some phone cases.
The fine aluminum alloy shell has been frosted, and the texture is different from that of the iPhone, but it is not inferior.
The Lexar Professional Go SSD uses a wireless in-line design, so it is not affected to shoot directly handheld after connecting to the phone, and there is no need to install an expansion bracket such as a rabbit cage.
For more professional shooting needs, for more professional shooting accessories such as expansion stands, the Lexar Professional Go mobile SSD kit also includes a dedicated docking station for users to easily expand and use.
The hot shoe connector that comes with the extension cable of the docking station can be installed and fixed in two directions, so that users can choose the installation method according to the cable routing situation.
3. Actual measurement: there are trade-offs but still good enough
1) Shoot ProRes video with your phone
We used an iPhone 16 Pro to connect a Lexar Professional Go SSD to external recording, and shot video in the highest ProRes format for 10 minutes.
连接手机之后，iPhone 16Pro非常顺利自动识别出Lexar Professional Go手机固态硬盘。
In the shooting interface, set to the highest 4K 120Hz ProRes Log recording format, the display space can record 73 minutes of video, which can fully meet everyone's single shooting needs.
After 10 minutes of shooting, the video file size is 204.49 GB on the inside of the phone and 190 GB on the computer.
This is due to the fact that Apple's calculation of hard disk space uses the 1000 base system of the hard disk manufacturer, and the actual file size is exactly the same as the number of bytes.
According to the actual file size and video duration, it is calculated that the amount of data written by the mobile phone to the mobile hard disk during shooting is not less than 295.9MB per second.

Although the Lexar Professional Go mobile phone SSD uses an aluminum alloy shell, it is very conducive to heat dissipation, but due to the very mini appearance, it is inevitable that there will be no time to dissipate heat during long-term shooting, after all, the heat dissipation area is so large, and the room temperature is close to 30 degrees Celsius during the test, and the temperature rise cannot be avoided.
However, the Lexar Professional Go mobile SSD has always maintained high-speed writing and has not affected the recording of videos, which is very reliable.
2) Connect to a computer for speed testing
Connect the Lexar Professional Go SSD to the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 20Gbps port on the back of the MSI Z790 motherboard for speed testing.
AS SSD Benchmark测试
首先测试1GB的读写性能，雷克沙Lexar Professional Go手机固态硬盘的顺序读写速度分别为956MB/s和824MB/s；4K随机读写速度分别是20MB/s、72MB/s
然后做10GB读写测试，由于雷克沙Lexar Professional Go手机固态硬盘没有充分散热，顺序读写速度分别为959MB/s、663MB/s；4K随机读写速度分别是20MB/s、56MB/s。
Limited by the speed of heat dissipation, the results of the later tests will always be slightly worse than the results of the previous tests.
CrystalDiskMark test
同样是先测试1GB的读写性能。 雷克沙Lexar Professional Go手机固态硬盘的顺序读取速度分别为1059MB/s、810MB/s；4K读写速度分别为21MB/s和59MB/s。
Continuing with the 64GB read and write test, the Lexar Professional Go mobile SSD was also slightly worse than the previous 1GB test, especially the sustained write speed dropped from 810MB/s to 570MB/s.
ATTO Disk Benchmarks测试
According to the results of ATTO Disk Benchmarks, the Lexar Professional Go mobile phone SSD can stabilize the read and write speed of more than 500MB/s from 32K, and the read and write speed of files above 128K can reach 800MB/s.
From the perspective of measured performance, the Lexar Professional Go mobile SSD is not a product designed for the PC desktop platform, and the mobile phone video is its home field, and there are more and better choices on the PC desktop platform.
Fourth, summary: fish and bear's paw from now on
The Lexar Professional Go SSD Combo is designed from the ground up for iPhones and Apple's advanced ProRES video format.
The ultra-small form factor makes the Lexar GO mobile hard drive easy to carry, and the 2TB capacity is also a huge addition to the largest iPhone with only 1TB.
For today's mobile phone applications are getting bigger and bigger, ultra-high-quality videos are indeed the killer of mobile phone storage space. The various applications and games of smartphones are a life that every modern person cannot give up, and recording life with high-quality videos is also urgently needed by modern people.
Can you have it both ways? Lexar gave their answer with the Lexar Professional Go Mobile SSD Bundle. With careful design, excellent technology and reliable quality, it brings 2TB of high-performance extra capacity to the iPhone without being cumbersome.
Although limited by its overly mini form factor, the Lexar Professional Go SSD generates more heat than similar products, and although it triggers automatic protection when the heat doesn't have time to dissipate, its performance is always above the passing line.
Even the 440MB/s required by the iPhone 16 Pro series' highest standard 4K 120Hz ProRes video format can easily cope with it.
The docking station that comes with the Lexar Professional Go mobile phone SSD package allows professional users to easily add it to the original workflow, and at the same time, you can also use wired charging to control the charging heat, avoiding the overheating problem of the mobile phone caused by wireless charging, and at the same time, photography accessories such as microphone fill lights do not have to fall into the dilemma of choosing one or even three choices.
The package also contains a set of stickers, which is also convenient for professional users to make labels when buying multiple sets of the same mobile hard drive, so as to avoid the situation that multiple identical devices cannot be distinguished or even used by mistake and deleted by mistake, which is very intimate.
Lexar also offers a 5-year warranty on the Lexar Professional Go mobile SSD, so you can use it with peace of mind for both personal and professional users.
