The 2TB ES5 is a rare price cut for a drive that typically sits near its $400 list price. The 90-day average sits at $386.74, and the 180-day average is $332.13, making this the most aggressive discount since launch.

If you have been watching external storage for a MagSafe-compatible shooter's rig. This is the price to act on.

What You're Getting

The Lexar ES5 hits up to 2000MB/s read and write over USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, fast enough to edit 4K ProRes footage directly off the drive. It supports Apple ProRes recording at 4K120FPS and Samsung Pro Video at 8K 30FPS. The MagSafe-compatible design lets it snap onto the back of an iPhone 15 or 16, and an included metal ring accessory gives any device a magnetic surface. It is rated IP65 for dust and water resistance and survives drops up to 3 meters. The Lexar App adds automatic backup for mobile media. The slim silicone body includes a cable organizer that doubles as a lanyard.

Who This Is For

Mobile videographers shooting Apple ProRes or Samsung Pro Video on a phone or mirrorless setup will get the most out of this drive. The MagSafe attachment and 2000MB/s transfer speed make it a practical field companion for offloading and editing footage on the go.

Anyone who does not need portable magnetic storage or already owns a USB-C SSD can skip this.

Final Verdict

The Lexar ES5 at $294.99 undercuts its own pricing history by a meaningful margin. If you need a rugged, high-speed external SSD that mounts magnetically to your phone. This is the best price available right now.
