Whether on the go with a smartphone or in professional use for film projects – the new Lexar ES5 SSD brings a breath of fresh air to the mobile storage sector. With impressive speed, magnetic flexibility and a robust design, the compact drive is aimed at anyone who needs to move large amounts of data quickly and reliably. The market launch at the beginning of July sends out a clear signal for a new generation of portable storage solutions.
- Up to 2000 MB/s read and write speed
- MagSafe-compatible, attaches directly to smartphones or MacBooks
- Direct recording in Apple ProRes (4K 60/120 FPS) & Samsung Pro Video (8K 30 FPS)
- IP65-certified, dust and waterproof, drop-proof up to 3 meters
Flexible storage solution for modern creative workflows
The Lexar ES5 is the ideal addition for content creators who don’t want to compromise on mobility or performance. Thanks to MagSafe compatibility, the SSD adheres directly to iPhones (from 15 Pro) or selected Samsung devices such as the Galaxy S25 – without additional accessories. This makes it a practical extension of the internal memory, especially for complex video recordings in ProRes or 8K formats.
Particularly relevant for smartphone videographers: Direct recording to the SSD eliminates the need to load large files onto the phone first. This saves time and increases the stability of long or high-resolution recordings. Professional cameras and laptops can also be easily connected via USB-C – the silicone design with integrated cable holder ensures tidiness and protection on the go.
Speed meets robustness
With a maximum transfer rate of up to 2000 MB/s (depending on the device and interface), the Lexar ES5 is one of the faster external SSDs on the market. Large 4K or 8K video files can be transferred quickly or edited directly on the device – even for larger projects. This makes it interesting not only for filmmakers and photographers, but also for mobile gamers who appreciate fast loading times and high compatibility with consoles such as the PlayStation or Switch.
Despite its compact dimensions, the ES5 is remarkably robust: It is IP65 protected against dust and water jets and can withstand drops from a height of up to three meters. This makes it particularly suitable for outdoor shoots or use in uncontrolled environments. This is complemented by a dedicated app that enables automatic backups of photos and videos – compatible with iOS and Android.
Conclusion
The Lexar ES5 combines modern design with powerful technology and is therefore aimed at users who need professional storage solutions on the go. Whether creative video work, gaming or daily data backup: The ES5 delivers speed, robustness and clever features in a compact overall package. The SSD has been available in 1 TB(EUR 149.99) and 2 TB(EUR 219.99) versions since July 1, 2025. Until July 15, there is a 10% discount with the code LEXARES5 – even combinable with Prime Day offers.
