Eon Electronics Launches MagDisk: A Portable SSD and Power Bank for iPhone 15 Pro Filmmakers
Eon Electronics introduces the MagDisk, a portable SSD and power bank that is MagSafe and Qi2 compatible, catering to the needs of iPhone 15 Pro filmmakers.
With the release of the iPhone 15 Pro series and its exceptional filmmaking capabilities, the demand for accessories to enhance its functionality has surged. Eon Electronics has seized this opportunity and launched the MagDisk, a versatile external SSD that not only offers ample storage but also doubles as a power bank. This Kickstarter campaign aims to provide iPhone 15 Pro users with a comprehensive solution for their filmmaking needs.
MagDisk: An External SSD with Surprising Features
The MagDisk is available in capacities ranging from 512GB to 4TB, boasting read and write speeds of up to 2000 MB/s. Equipped with a USB-C 3.2 20Gbps port, it enables seamless recording of Apple ProRes Log 4K60. The 512GB model can record up to 34 minutes in this format, while the 4TB model can store an impressive 278 minutes. It is important to note that using the provided USB Type-C cable is recommended to ensure optimal performance and device recognition.
What sets the MagDisk apart from other portable SSDs is its integration of a power bank. The 512GB model features a 2400mAh power bank, while the 1TB model offers a 1500mAh power bank. These smaller capacity models have the necessary space to accommodate the power bank, whereas the 2TB and 4TB models do not. This wireless power bank enables convenient charging of the iPhone, ensuring uninterrupted shooting sessions. Furthermore, its Qi2 compatibility allows for efficient and fast charging, surpassing the conventional Qi standard. The MagDisk’s MagSafe compatibility adds another layer of convenience, making it an all-in-one solution for iPhone 15 Pro users.
In addition to its functional features, the MagDisk also offers compatibility with Apple Find My. This integration allows users to track their MagDisk by pairing it with their iPhone via the Find My app. While designed with the iPhone 15 Pro in mind, the MagDisk is versatile and works seamlessly with Android, Mac, Windows, cameras, iPads, and more.
Aluminium Alloy Built for Durability
The MagDisk is constructed from aluminium alloy, striking a balance between strength and weight. Weighing between 45 and 75 grams, depending on the model, the alloy provides corrosion resistance and UV protection, enhancing the durability of the MagDisk. Additionally, the MagDisk features a heat dissipation system and a Dynamic Thermal Guard that monitors and maintains optimal temperatures for stable operation. Eon Electronics emphasizes their commitment to durability by offering regular firmware updates and replacement and service programs to maximize the lifespan of the MagDisk.
Price and Availability
The MagDisk is estimated to be delivered by March 2024. The 512GB model is priced at $109, while the 1TB model costs $159. For those interested in backing the MagDisk, detailed options are available on the Kickstarter campaign page.
Conclusion: The MagDisk SSD by Eon Electronics presents a compelling solution for iPhone 15 Pro filmmakers, combining the functionality of a portable SSD and a power bank. With its impressive storage capacity, compatibility with Apple ProRes Log, and convenient wireless charging, the MagDisk offers a comprehensive solution for filmmakers on the go. Its durability, MagSafe compatibility, and integration with Apple Find My further enhance its appeal. As with any crowdfunding campaign, potential backers should carefully consider the risks involved. Nonetheless, the MagDisk is poised to become an essential accessory for iPhone 15 Pro users looking to elevate their filmmaking capabilities.
