What happened
Lexar announced the Lexar Muse, claimed to be the world's thinnest portable SSD at 0.15-inch thickness, as part of its 30th anniversary. The drive uses a proprietary pogo-pin cable and includes a magnetic sleeve for mounting to phones. No pricing, capacity, speed, or availability details were provided in the article.
Why it matters
This is a consumer hardware product announcement with no pricing, performance specs, or release date. Builders and developers have no actionable decision to make from this text. The proprietary pogo-pin cable could be a lock-in concern if you rely on interchangeable cables in the field, but without specs or price there is nothing to evaluate yet.
Discussion angle
Whether proprietary pogo-pin cables on portable SSDs are a real annoyance for developers who carry multiple devices, or a non-issue given the thinness tradeoff.
