Running out of internal storage is an issue I face regularly with my iPhone, but a new drive from SanDisk can free up data while staying attached to the smartphone using MagSafe. Introduced during CES 2025, the SanDisk Creator Phone SSD is a portable drive that works with smartphones as well as laptops.
Besides freeing up internal storage space, the SanDisk Creator SSD can also record 4K 60fps Apple ProRes video directly to the drive. The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro can’t record that high quality footage to its internal storage, requiring portable drives that meet high speed specifications. By meeting those speed requirements and attaching to the back of the phone using MagSafe, the drive could help creators use ProRes without figuring how or where to stick the drive while recording.
