Nowadays, smartphones are becoming more and more powerful in taking pictures and recording, and their resolutions are getting higher and higher. However, as these digital media files are getting larger and larger, no matter how large the capacity of the phone is, it may not be enough for you to use it until you replace it with another one. Mobile phones, especially for workers who make a living by taking photos and videos. Sometimes a day’s video recording task may use up the remaining storage space. Sometimes the stored files need to be delivered to clients or colleagues at any time. In this case, a high-speed external data storage that can be used on smartphones or laptops Installation is very important!
In response to the pain points in our daily work as creators, Team Group Technology has launched a software that is compatible with MagSafe. PD20M magnetic external solid state drive, the product is not only suitable for iPhone 15 Pro series mobile phones that can support USB-C, and is magnetically fixed for easy portability or data transfer, it is also suitable for mobile phone cases that support MagSafe. Of course it also works with a variety of computer devices, as well as tablets and most Android phones!
TEAMGROUP PD20M magnetic external solid-state drive is a storage device product exclusively developed by TEAMGROUP. It is compatible with the MagSafe magnetic mounting method and weighs only 40 grams, so it can be perfectly matched with various mobile devices! PD20M has a maximum storage capacity of 2 TB. According to official information, if you use ProRes format for 4K 60fps recording, it can record continuously for up to 144 minutes!

The product packaging design clearly states that it is an external data storage device that can be used perfectly with the iPhone 15 Pro magnetically. What I want to unbox here is the 1TB capacity version, which can help my 1TB iPhone 15 Pro Max to recharge. Increase data storage space by 1TB!
The length and width of PD20M are 70 mm and 62 mm respectively, and it is extremely thin at 8.2 mm, making it super convenient to carry around! The outer shell is made of lightweight, strong and durable plastic, and weighs only 40 grams without adding any burden to carry!
There are multiple national safety certification marks on the back of the product, and a magnetic design can also be seen.
PD20M magnetic external solid-state drive uses USB 3.2 Gen2 x2 Type-C interface (comes with a good-quality USB-C to USB-C cable), is compatible with the Apple iPhone 15 Pro series, and also supports Thunderbolt interface connection port, when connected to a desktop computer or notebook computer under Windows or MacOS systems, the transmission speed can reach up to 20 Gbps, easily handling various data transmission needs, and there is no need to wait for file transfer.

The advantage of being compatible with MagSafe (non-certified) is that it requires no positioning and can be easily and quickly magnetically attached. Moreover, its magnetic force is moderate so that it can be put on and taken off at any time, and it will not fall off due to collision~
When connected to the iPhone through the included 13.5mm USB-C to USB-C cable (excluding connector), the length is just right and can be used to connect to other smart devices or computers~
Once connected, you can use PD20M in the “Files” app of iPhone 15 Pro to access data at any time! You can even save the data directly into it while recording!
When you enter the “File” App of the iPhone 15 Pro series mobile phone, you will see the storage device name of “TEAM PD20M”, where you can save or copy data ~
For example, we can copy the photos or video files in the mobile phone~
I attached the PD20M to a Rhino Shield protective case that supports MagSafe and it had no problem. The magnetic attraction is even stronger than the iPhone 15 Pro Max!
The device also supports MagSafe and can be used on the UAG Samsung Galaxy S24 phone case without any problem!
PD20M data reading and writing speed test
Here we use the iPhone 15 Pro Max 1TB version as the test platform, and choose to use the “Jazz Disk Bench” paid version App to do the PD20M data reading and writing test ~
We have tested it many times and generally have high-speed performance of 855 MB/s reading and 773 MB/s writing as shown above (the iPhone 15 Pro series only supports USB 3.2 Gen2, so the physical upper limit of data reading and writing speed is only to 1000MB/s in both directions)!
Instead, I chose to use the Apple Mac mini M1 version of the desktop computer for testing, and obtained near-limit performance of 939.9 MB/s reading and 917 MB/s writing (this computer also only has USB 3.2 specifications, and the physical maximum speed is only 1000MB/s two-way). )
Finally, I switched to a computer that supports the USB 3.2 Gen2 x2 specification for testing to see how fast the data reading and writing speed can be achieved!
Test platform information
Processor: Intel Core i9-14900K
Memory: TEAMGROUP T-CREATE EXPERT DDR5 6400 memory
Motherboard: MSI Z790MPOWER
Operating system: WINDOWS 11 Professional Edition
Tested with TxBENCH, and got a frightening ultra-high-speed data reading of 2011 MB/s and writing of 1754 MB/s!
Tested with AS SSD Benchmark, it also has high-speed reading performance of 1730 MB/s and writing speed of 1533 MB/s!
When we transfer the data from the mobile phone to the TEAMGROUP PD20M magnetic external solid-state drive outside, and then use the computer to read and copy the data in the future, the application and speed can be maximized!
However, the transmission speed will vary depending on the testing hardware and software conditions. The data is for reference only!
Summary of usage experience:
The demand for taking photos and videos is increasing day by day, and consumers are constantly looking for safe and fast ways to save and protect their precious digital life records. If you want to buy a safe, fast, and large-capacity storage device, the TEAMGROUP PD20M magnetic external solid-state drive is definitely the best choice for everyone, because it is so compact and has a large capacity!
In addition to the iPhone 15 Pro series phones that can perfectly support the extremely fast performance of PD20M, most Android phones can also do so. Most desktop computers or laptops rarely support the 20Gbps data transfer speed of USB 3.2 Gen2x2 (the latest or high-end models are more likely to support it, but it will gradually become more popular in the future, so buy early and enjoy it). However, USB 3.2 Gen2 Data transfer speeds of 10Gbps are already common.
In addition, the iPhone 15 has also adopted a USB-C transmission/charging design, but the specification is USB 2.0, not USB 3.2, but it can also support Team Group PD20M magnetic external solid-state drive!
