Lexar

Berlin – September 08, 2026 -- Lexar has unveiled the Muse Ultra-Slim Portable SSD, calling it the world's thinnest portable SSD, at IFA 2026 in Berlin as the company marks its 30th anniversary. The drive will launch in 512GB and 1TB capacities starting Q4 2026, with pricing and regional availability varying by market.

The Muse tapers to just 1mm at its edge

The card-like drive measures approximately 3.8mm at its thickest point, narrowing to 1mm at the edge, thanks to a precision-machined unibody metal enclosure formed from a single piece of metal. Inside, a custom ultra-thin PCB and high-density NAND stacking maximize space without sacrificing performance.

The drive attaches magnetically via Lexar's proprietary PogoPin connection and a supplied SnapLink Magnetic Cable, using a spring-loaded-pin interface and N52-grade neodymium magnets. A magnetic carry sleeve lets users mount the SSD directly to the back of compatible MagSafe iPhone models.
