iPhone 15 Pro Max You can record 4K60 ProRes LOG to a USB A 3.1 thumbdrive

[Loudsilvereel]

Purely for interest I tested this Sandisk 'Extreme pro USB 3.1' 128GB through a USB A - C adapter.

It was freshly formatted in ExFat and offered the hint on the screen that 9 minutes of 4K60 Prores Log could be recorded.
Viewed it on my macbook, only took a few seconds of video but as far as I can tell it worked fine, no visible dropped frames or stuttering.
The drive itself is maybe 5 years old already, and is a little above average as far as I know in terms of speed.

I was just afraid that something like that would break the port. I went with https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Pro-1TB-Portable-CT1000X9PROSSD902/dp/B0C9WKGXHD/. (USB-C is more fragile than lightning)

Can get 1TB for $70, and it is just the right size to adhere to the MagSafe magnet (if you attach an adhesive metal ring to it).

Wow just 9 minutes for 128GB? That’s a massive file!

Would the MagSafe magnet damage the SDD?

No, it shouldn’t cause any problems.

@Ryan P, Nice! Have you sourced a decent 10gbps usc-c cable? Wondering how short you can get and if the cable is going to be able to bend enough.

Check this one out https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08L8Z7YJ8 . Is 5”, well made, and flexible. Also happens to be 100w power and thunderbolt 4, so useful in general. I think 3.5” would be ideal, but it doesn’t stick out too far.

Also I got this, for the attachment https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093Q2HV29. It comes with 2 items you can use (depending on how strong you want the MagSafe to be). One is a paper thin metal adhesive (that seems good enough for me) and the other is the wall mount pictured.
