Lexar’s Muse is an ultra-slim portable SSD that’s less than 4mm thick
Lexar is launching the Muse Ultra-Slim Portable SSD, which uses a proprietary magnetic pogo-pin connector instead of a standard USB-C port to achieve a thickness of under 4mm. While highly portable and fast, the design requires a specific cable and magnetic sleeve for mounting.
