Best For
Mobile videographers and documentary/event filmmakers using iPhone 15/16 Pro to capture ProRes 4K 60 fps, creators needing a rugged, IP65‑rated drive for on‑location shoots, and anyone building a compact iPhone‑based production rig with microphones, lights and power banks via the 4‑port hub.
Not Ideal For
Users of iPhone 17 or later until an updated version is released, professionals requiring hardware encryption, those who need the absolute fastest read/write speeds (2000 MB/s) for heavy desktop workflows, and anyone who prefers an integrated cooling solution.
Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers, notably PCMag, gave the Lexar Professional Go Portable SSD with Hub a perfect 5.0/5.0 score, calling it near‑perfect for iPhone filmmakers. They highlighted its seamless iPhone 15/16 Pro integration, blazing‑fast USB‑3.2 Gen 2 performance, and the innovative modular hub that turns a tiny drive into a full mobile production rig, while noting its premium cost relative to generic high‑speed SSDs.
What Users Say
Everyday users overwhelmingly praise the drive’s ability to record long ProRes 4K clips directly from the iPhone, its ultra‑compact, cable‑free form factor, and the useful accessories included. Recurring complaints focus on the lack of encryption, incompatibility with the newer iPhone 17 series, and occasional connection issues with thick phone cases.
Common Complaints
iPhone 17 incompatibility due to power delivery changes, difficulty connecting with thick phone cases, absence of hardware encryption, occasional thermal throttling during prolonged high‑bitrate writes, and the hub being sold separately in some packages.
What People Are Saying
“Worked perfectly for recording long‑form video (e.g., 1‑hour speeches)”
