MSI’s Datamag 40Gbps is a snap-on portable SSD built for mobile creators who need speed, space, and simplicity. Using the included magnetic rings, the drive attaches directly to the back of your phone or handheld rig, cutting cable clutter and making handheld shooting or fieldwork far more comfortable.
For iPhone users, the standout feature is direct ProRes recording to the SSD. That means you can bypass internal storage limits during high-bitrate shoots and keep the camera rolling without juggling files mid-take. According to MSI, the 4TB version can store up to 143 minutes of 4K/120 fps footage, which is about two hours and twenty minutes of ultra-smooth, high-resolution video—plenty of headroom for event coverage, run-and-gun filmmaking, or long interview sessions.
As its name suggests, the Datamag 40Gbps is designed for fast transfers, helping you offload massive clips quickly after a shoot. Pair that speed with the convenience of a magnetic mount and you get a streamlined mobile workflow: mount, record, eject, and edit—without the mess of dangling cables or the frustration of full phone storage.
The design addresses a growing need among content creators, vloggers, wedding videographers, journalists, and social media teams who rely on their phones as primary cameras. With a secure magnetic attachment and generous capacity options, it’s built to keep pace with modern video production, especially at demanding settings like 4K at 120 frames per second.
MSI hasn’t shared pricing or a firm release date yet, but the Datamag 40Gbps is slated for a global launch soon. If you’ve been pushing your phone’s camera to the limit or looking for a more reliable on-the-go capture setup, this snap-on SSD is one to watch.
