The ultra portable storage system combines a two-piece set consisting of a tiny thumb-sized USB-C drive that can connect right to the bottom of an iPhone with a detachable hub of sorts that adds a bevy of interconnectivity options to your content creator setup. We did see a successful Kickstarter campaign earlier in the year that garnered over a $1M in revenue ahead of today’s official US release, but the new storage setup is now available for purchase at retail and ready to directly capture 4K Apple Pro Res footage straight from iPhone 15 and 16 Pro/Pro Max devices.

Today, Lexar is officially announcing its brand new gaming SSD known as the NM790 M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4×4. The brand is opting to stick with Gen4 architecture and to keep prices particularly accessible as opposed to reaching up to the breakneck power of something like the new Crucial T700 lineup that clocks in at 12,400MB/s (still currently on sale). Even still, the new NM790 easily keeps up with most of the big brands in the space while offering prices far lower than almost all of them. All of the details you need on the new Lexar gaming SSDs are waiting after the jump.
