Smartphones are now the go-to tool for capturing videos and photos, with a recent survey by UGC Cate Group revealing that 64.6% of respondents use their phones daily for filming or photography. That’s why, with the introduction of the SanDisk® Creator Series, Sandisk is helping bring creators’ visions to life and getting them in front of a mass audience. For example, the SanDisk Creator Phone Drive can transfer files from your smartphone or tablet to your computer. Once you’re finished editing your footage, you can use the SanDisk Creator Desk Drive to back up your files at your desk. To give your smartphone even more space, the Creator Series features the SanDisk Creator microSD™ Card. From the capture stage of production to transferring recordings, editing them and backing them up, the Creator Series has numerous solutions to streamline the process. One of the new solutions introduced in the Creator Series is the SanDisk Creator Phone SSD.
Today, content creators often rely on their smartphones to record content on the go, including videos such as vlogs or IRL streams. For long-form projects, creators need sufficient storage space to keep their workflow running smoothly. The SanDisk Creator Phone SSD is designed specifically for on-the-go creators who rely on smartphones to record their content. Here’s how this tiny SSD can make a difference in your creative process.
You have access to lots of storage at your fingertips — literally
You need as much storage space as possible when you’re recording on a smartphone. The SanDisk Creator Phone SSD comes in two capacities: 1TB and 2TB.3
Additionally, the SanDisk Creator Phone SSD is MagSafe-compatible. That means you can directly attach it to a compatible smartphone using MagSafe, making it quick and simple to add external storage to your mobile device.
Accessible cinematic footage
If you’re trying to push your smartphone videos to a higher level, the SanDisk Creator Phone SSD lets you capture footage in Apple ProRes 4K at 60 frames per second, right out of the box. Its direct-to-drive setup allows you to record straight to the SSD. This helps you skip extra import steps so you can get to the editing process sooner.
When paired with a compatible phone or tablet, the Creator Phone SSD makes cinematic production feel more accessible. You can film and store large files without overloading your device, leaving room for smooth playback and real-time edits.
Reliable, portable setup

Weighing only 54 grams, the SanDisk Creator Phone SSD is light enough to slip into a pocket or small bag. Its slim design measures 3.25 inches by 2.69 inches by 0.43 inches, making it an ideal companion for on-the-go shoots. You can pop it onto your phone setup and start recording.
Its rugged silicone shell helps protect against shocks and offers up to three-meter drop protection.1 It’s also IP65 water- and dust-resistant2 , which helps protect your files safe if conditions get rough. Whether you’re filming at home or on a busy street, the Creator Phone SSD is built to handle unexpected bumps and splashes.
Broad compatibility
Because it’s formatted with exFAT, the SanDisk Creator Phone SSD works right out of the box with iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max. It’s also compatible with Windows®, Android™ and macOS devices. More specifically, the SanDisk Creator Phone SSD is designed for Windows 10 or newer, macOS 14 or later, iOS/iPadOS 17 or higher and Android 14 or higher. This wide support means you can record on one device and then switch to another for editing.
