- Unique Properties
- Planck CreatorSSD is the world’s first phone-first high-performance SSD for mobile creators. It sustains Apple ProRes/Log recording up to 4K/120fps. Reliable, drop-frame-free capture without need for bulky rigs. The perpendicular USB-C allows the ssd to sit flush with your phone case and keeps the phone back clear for gimbal clamps or magnetic accessories. The ultra-slim form factor disappears in the experience. Up to 2TB in a form smaller, and weighing only 10g its lighter than an AirPods.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- 50.5mm x 17mm x 7.3mm

- Production Technology
- The true performance of the CreatorSSD was unlocked by integrating a proper functioning (recycled) aluminium heatsink within its slim enclosure. Allowing the right amount of heat dissipation for optimized thermal management and controller level tuning empowered the sustainable endurance write speed of 500-550MB/s, well above the 440MB/s required for 4K/120fps LOG recording. Manufactured with advanced automation on production lines such as CNC Glue machines, Calibrated pressure jigs and screw robots allowed high accuracy assembly with a 100% sustainable write speed test.
- Design Challenge
- The creative challenge was minimal footprint with maximum performance. Design pushed for the thinnest possible body where engineering needed enough heat-sink mass to support sustained speed. We had to keep the back of the phone clear for real mobile rigs and gimbal clamps, while staying sleek and unobtrusive. The only way to resolve these competing needs was trial-and-error testing, iterating thermal behavior, thickness, and stability until performance and aesthetics aligned.
- Research
- To deliver the perfect product for our demanding user, we had to understand how to design and engineer to prevent drop frames, which are the main concern for creators. The answer lied in visualizing (sustainable) write speeds. Learning how to adjust key performance drivers for improvements and building a reliable testing framework validating write speeds were well above 440MB/s was the foundation required to fuel not only development but also manufacturing. Resulting in innovating the manufacturing and quality control processes.
- Inspiration
- To record ProRes Log and 4K/120 on mobile, creators need an external SSD—but most drives are computer-first: bulky, cable-heavy, requiring mounts and cages, and many can’t sustain the high write speeds for long takes, risking dropped frames. CreatorSSD is phone-first: compact, clamp-clear, and engineered for sustained capture so creators can record confidently and move faster from shoot to edit to publish.
- Project Duration
- Started April 2024 in HK, mass production in Sep 2025 in China, first prototype was in CES 2025, kicstrarter in March 2025. Won CES innovation 2026
- Operation Flow
- CreatorSSD records straight to the drive – no apps, no setup, fully compatible with your existing workflow. Unplug, then plug into your computer and edit from the same media – no complex transfers and waiting needed. Teams can shoot while others edit; solo shooters move from shot to rough cut faster. The ultra-compact body and perpendicular USB-C keep cables tidy and gimbal clamps clear for smooth handheld motion. Tuned for sustained writes, it stays steady on long ProRes/Log takes up to 4K/120 where supported.
