By Editor • September 7, 2026 • 1 min read
At IFA 2026 in Berlin, Lexar celebrated its 30th anniversary by launching the Muse Ultra-Slim Portable SSD, touted as the world’s thinnest SSD. Designed specifically for mobile users, this sleek device addresses the growing need for efficient storage solutions amidst rising data demands.
Innovative Design and Features
The Muse SSD is remarkably thin, measuring just 3.8mm at its thickest point and tapering to a mere 1mm at the edges. Crafted from a single block of metal, its seamless design resembles a guitar pick more than a traditional storage device. This innovative approach not only emphasizes aesthetics but also ensures that it doesn’t compromise on performance or storage capacity.
Magnetic Connectivity and Speed
One standout feature is the Muse's proprietary PogoPin connector, which allows the SSD to maintain a slim profile without the need for a bulky USB-C port. Accompanied by a SnapLink Magnetic Cable, the drive securely attaches to devices using powerful neodymium magnets. With read speeds of 1,050MB/s and write speeds of 1,000MB/s, it easily meets the requirements for high-quality 4K video recording, positioning it as a strong competitor in the portable SSD market.
Future Innovations and Product Line
In addition to the Muse, Lexar showcased its upcoming AI Storage Core concepts and next-gen SSD products, indicating a strategic shift towards catering to advanced technological needs. The company's commitment to innovation suggests that they are poised to remain relevant in the competitive storage industry for years to come.
