SanDisk Creator Phone SSD 1TB
The SanDisk Creator Phone SSD 1TB is a compact USB-C portable drive designed for content creators who record, transfer and edit large files while working away from a desk. It attaches magnetically to a MagSafe-compatible smartphone and delivers read speeds of up to 1,000MB/s and write speeds of up to 950MB/s.
Its combination of fast solid-state storage, direct-to-drive video recording and a pocket-sized design makes it useful for videographers, photographers, social media creators and anyone who needs extra phone, tablet or computer storage.
The drive can also support direct Apple ProRes 4K recording at 60fps when connected to a compatible smartphone or tablet. This allows large video files to be saved directly to the SSD instead of filling the device’s internal storage.
Fast USB-C Storage for Creative Work
The SanDisk Creator Phone SSD uses a USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface and offers sequential read speeds of up to 1,000MB/s and write speeds of up to 950MB/s. This level of performance is well suited to transferring high-resolution photographs, long video clips, project folders and other large files.
You can move captured content from your phone to a compatible Windows PC or Mac without first uploading it to cloud storage. This creates a more direct workflow between recording, transferring, editing and backing up your work.
Maximum performance requires a host device and USB port that support USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds. Actual transfer speed can vary depending on the device, cable, file size, software and operating conditions.
MagSafe-Compatible Phone Attachment
The built-in magnetic design allows the portable SSD to attach to a MagSafe-compatible smartphone. This keeps the drive positioned neatly against the back of the phone while recording or transferring files.
The magnetic connection is used to hold the drive in place. Data transfer and power are provided through the USB-C cable. An included magnetic ring can also be attached to a suitable surface, such as the back of a laptop screen, for easier switching between mobile recording and computer editing.
Record Apple ProRes Video Directly to the SSD
When paired with a supported smartphone or tablet, the SanDisk Creator Phone SSD can be used for direct Apple ProRes 4K video capture at up to 60fps. This is particularly useful when recording long interviews, events, product videos, social media content or other footage that can quickly consume a phone’s internal storage.
Direct recording support depends on the phone or tablet model, operating system, camera application, recording settings and USB-C capabilities. Not every USB-C smartphone supports external ProRes recording.
Built for Work Outside the Studio
A durable silicone shell protects the drive during regular handling and travel. It offers IP65-rated resistance against dust and water flow and has been tested for drop protection of up to three metres.
IP65 does not mean the SSD should be submerged in water. The USB-C connector and drive should be clean and completely dry before use.
- Durable silicone exterior
- IP65 dust and water resistance
- Drop protection of up to three metres
- Compact 54g design
- Suitable for mobile and outdoor content workflows
Works Across Phones, Tablets and Computers
The SSD comes formatted in exFAT, allowing it to work across multiple operating systems without requiring immediate reformatting. Official operating-system compatibility includes:
- Windows 10 and later
- macOS 14 and later
- iOS and iPadOS 17 and later
- Android 14 and later
The connected device must support USB storage. Some phones and tablets may require permission to access external drives through their file-management or camera applications.
