Expand iPhone or Mac storage: this is how you do it (ADV)

Unfortunately, the storage of your iPhone or Mac is not infinite. After years of saving photos and other documents, it will eventually be full, but you don’t want important files to be lost. This is how you expand the storage of your iPhone or Mac.

This is how you expand the storage of your iPhone (or Mac).

If you’ve been saving photos and files for years, the storage of your iPhone – or your Mac – will inevitably be full at some point. Then you look for a way to expand the storage. Unfortunately, it is not possible to insert a micro SD card into your device, but by putting your files on an external SSD you can free up a lot of space in one fell swoop.

It is also wise to regularly make a backup of your MacBook or iMac and it is best to store this on an external SSD. This way you can be sure that you always have access if your device breaks down or you no longer have access to your iCloud account. Samsung has an SSD that works perfectly with your Mac and your iPhone 15.

Easily connect it to your Mac or iPhone

Expand iPhone or Mac storage: this is how you do it (ADV)

Connecting to your iPhone or Mac is smooth. It comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable and a USB-C to USB-A cable. This way you connect it directly to your iPhone 15, Mac, or any other device. You will then immediately see the SSD appear in the Mac Finder and simply drag the files to the SSD’s storage. You can see it directly in the Files app via your iPhone.

It is also useful that the size is nice and compact: it has the dimensions of a credit card. This means you can take it with you everywhere and always have access to your important files.

Transfer files at lightning speed

The T9 Portable SSD supports USB 3.2 gen 2×2. This means that many files can be transferred very quickly. This is also necessary, because the external SSD itself has a maximum read and write speed of 2 GB/s. This means that a 2 GB file can be transferred in less than one second.

He works efficiently and ensures that you spend less time waiting. You get things done quickly and your productivity gets a big boost.

Protect your data

If someone accidentally gets their hands on your Portable SSD, this does not mean that they have direct access to your backups and other files. The device has a program installed that allows you to easily set a password.

It is also well protected physically. The rubber layer makes the design very durable and the rough surface ensures that it will not easily slip out of your hands. It is drop-resistant up to three meters. Is something happening that he can’t handle? The external T9 SSD has a five-year limited warranty.

Enables 4K ProRes at 60 fps on iPhone 15 Pro Max

If you ever film in high quality with your iPhone 15 Pro (Max), you will get access to extra functions if you connect the SSD with the USB-C cable. Recording ProRes videos in 4K quality at 60 frames per second is only possible if you have connected an external storage device. Without external storage, the ProRes function works at a maximum of 30 frames per second, making the SSD a must for the content creators among us who use their iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max a lot.

If you try to use the function without a connected SSD, you will see the message that ProRes is not supported. The files are so large (about 12 GB per minute) that the storage of your iPhone 15 Pro (Max) would otherwise be full in no time.
