The world's thinnest portable SSD is now available to pre-order
This ridiculously svelte SSD is almost the size of a credit card!
Lexar has unveiled its latest portable SSD, the Muse, which boasts an incredibly thin form factor at just 3.8mm at its thickest point, tapering down to an impressive 1mm at the edges. The device, which has been designed to fit into even a tight jeans pocket, is now available for pre-order at B&H, with both the 512GB and 1TB versions set to be released in Q4 2026.
Pricing starts at $249.99 for the 512GB version and $399.99 for the 1TB capacity. The Muse's slim design is achieved through a combination of a custom ultra-thin PCB, high-density NAND stacking, and an integrated internal architecture that maximises available space. Its unique connection system, the proprietary SnapLink Magnetic Cable, attaches to a recessed array of pogo pins on the rear of the SSD, guided by N52-grade neodymium magnets.
Despite its super-svelte profile, the Muse is capable of read speeds up to 1050MB/s and a maximum 1000MB/s write speed, enabling compatible iPhones to record Apple ProRes 4K video at up to 120fps directly to the drive.
