About Planck Creator Ssd Lub Disk Khaws Ntaub Ntawv Solid State Uas Nqa Tau Mus Los

Planck Creator SSD yog ib lub disk khaws ntaub ntawv solid state uas nqa tau mus los, tsim rau cov neeg ua yeeb yaj kiab hauv xov tooj ntawm tes. Lub drive no kaw tau Apple ProRes thiab Log video txog li 4K thiab 120 daim duab toj ib feeb (frames per second) ncaj qha los ntawm lub xov tooj. Ib daim heatsink ua los ntawm txhuas (aluminium) rov siv dua uas nyob hauv lub thawv nyias no pab tswj kev kub thiab txhawb kev sau ntaub ntawv tsis tu ncua ntawm 500 txog 550 megabytes ib feeb (second). Lub qhov txuas USB-C uas ncaj tav toj ua rau lub drive nyob tau tiaj nrog lub thawv xov tooj thiab tseg lub xov tooj sab nraub qaum kom dawb rau cov gimbal clamps thiab cov khoom siv sib nqus (magnetic accessories). Lub cev ntsuas tau 50.5 x 17 x 7.3 millimetres, hnyav 10 grams thiab khaws tau ntaub ntawv txog li 2 terabytes.

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
Tags: SSD, Mobile SSD, Mobile Storage, Mobile Photography, Mobile Filmmaking, Content Creation
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.
