There are many occasions in which, if we have a good reflex or smartphone, the available space of these is greatly reduced when used as a camera, whether at an event, vacation, etc. That is why, thanks to USB-C and its possibility of connecting it to external storage, we can not worry about the internal memory of the device.
T-CREATE knows it, and because of that, has presented us with a new external SSD drive compatible with these devices, as long as they accept this technology, as is the case with the new iPhone 15, as well as most of the latest generation cameras.
External SSD for cameras and smartphones
The name of this unit is T-CREATE CinemaPr P31, belonging to the supplier Team Group. A new device that aims to make it easier for professional photographers, or amateur users to capture videos or create movies, either on a SLR camera or simply on their mobile phone.
These compatible devices, such as the latest iPhone 15, have the possibility of accepting these units built in, so we will only have to connect external SSD via USB-C connector to the smartphone and it will directly act as a storage unit. Therefore, all the videos or photographs that we take will be stored there.
Something very interesting considering that, at maximum quality, a video from the iPhone itself takes up 1 GB every 10 seconds… a real outrage that would leave us without space on our device in a matter of minutes.
In this way we can record at the best resolution without worrying, due to the space that the SSD offers us, up to 4TB. Which would allow us, for example, to store 960 minutes of videos at 4K and 60 FPS. Enough for any event or day.
In addition, this SSD is compatible with most video formats, including RAW, ProRes and ProRes RAW, managing to store formats up to 8K in real time.
Regarding its design, very elegant and light, weighing only 110 grams, which allows it to be easily moved with our camera. All this in 95% ecological packaging.
As to prices and release datewe only know that it will be available in the first quarter of 2024, so we will have to pay attention to new news about it and wait for them to give us an exact date and, above all, a price, as well as the storage options that We have, since, we know that 4 TB will be the maximum, but we hope to be able to choose something less, saving a little, otherwise we will need as much.
In short, a new external SSD to use without fear of running out of space when using a good camera and configuration, which we can also use as a normal storage unit, for other files or needs. We only have to see its price and when we can try it.
And you, what do you think of these devices? Are they a good solution for computers with limited internal memory? Or are you one of those who prefers to invest in a 1 TB iPhone even if its price is much higher and forget about bringing accessories Additional features? Leave us a comment.
