iPhone External Storage - Don’t Buy the Wrong One!

[@GeeksTable]

Note on Hagibis MC100: Recently they’ve released a cooling cover: www.amazon.de/-/dp/B0D45919VK If you consider buying it, here is my comparison of the cooling cover vs the standard cover: Daily File Management (Read/Write): - No difference External Recording: 15 min MP4: - iPhone Temp: Same - SSD Temp: Same - Battery drain: Same 15 min ProRes LT: - iPhone Temp: 40°C vs 43°C - SSD Temp: 35°C vs 37°C - Battery drain: Same 15 min ProRes: - iPhone Temp: 41°C vs 43°C - SSD Temp: 36°C vs 39°C - Battery drain: Same 15 min ProRes HQ: - iPhone Temp: 48°C vs 50°C - SSD Temp: 43°C vs 48°C - Battery drain: -6% vs -22% My verdict: you’ll see a difference when doing long ProRes records, otherwise save a few bucks, you won’t see a huge gain.

I went with the Corsair MP600 Mini SSD and Hagibis MC100. Had to format the ssd with Mac's disc manager before it showed it up on the iPhone 15 Pro. Thanks for the recs!

[@StMediaNL]

How's it been so far? My Hagibis MC100 should arrive here in 4 days. Looking at the Corsair MP600 mini SSD or the Core edition which is cheaper. Lower speeds, but still more than enough. Should work too.

[@Nightmarebyilke]

I was literally looking at this exact enclosures this morning what a coincidence. Ty for extensive testing and very well put review. Wish u luck in the future and many more subscribers, i am sure u willl get there soon !

[@sn_vids]

great video as always, underrated channel keep it going, also where can I get that shirt?

[@GeeksTable]

Thanks! T-shirt: www.qwertee.com/shop/tees/pablo-pikasso

Thanks so much for this in depth review. I`m looking for a good ext Storage device for my iPhone 15 pro with ProRes capable speed and the best price and dimensions. I think I`m going with the Hagibis (+512 GB Sharkspeed SSD) because I don`t have to unplug it for charging and the usb c cable is even slimmer than the one on the acasis. Really nice comparison!

[@brandywalls3147]

I too was considering the Hagibis MC100 before finding this review. Thanks for the analytics, much appreciated! I went with the Corsair MP600 Mini. Initialized disk with Disk Management (Windows) and formatted exFat. I wont keep files on this drive, as I plan to offload them to the laptop.

[@lexomoniyi]

Superb review. Based my purchase solely off of this review. Thank you!

[@rogeriogomesosorio4755]

The problem with most of these SSD and so on is that, because they are MagSafe based, you can not attach an external lens

[@GeeksTable]

If it’s a Moment lens, it should fit though. Otherwise only two of these are MagSafe based, so there is plenty of other options.

[@c.d.osajotiamaraca3382]

Wow! Very impressive analysis; thank you! I'm hoping your recs will work with the Hohem iSteady M6 gimbal, without being too top-heavy. Any thoughts? In any case I will upload to a desktop/laptop and edit there or using Capcut etc. Well done.

[@nickbanham8750]

black magic app yes.. but what was the other option or recommendation? Defold?? Best regards

[@roadcrewfilms]

amazing!!! thanks so much

[@AmalSony]

bro should i buy this or go with t7 shield because both are same money , i want to backup photos and videos from my 15 pro max pls suggest me the good one in amall budget..

[@MegaMiley]

Hmm, at around 19:30, are you sure the 9 degrees C on the Hagibis MC 100 with power and fan is correct? Shouldn't it be 19 degrees at best? Air cooling simply can't get temperatures below ambient and I doubt you were in a 9 degree c room whilst recording all these data points given all the other temperatures listed. The rest looks fine so I'm assuming this is just a small typo, pretty good data overall

[@GeeksTable]

Thanks for the feedback! I had the same impression of that fan before I bought it and tested it - I thought it’s just a pass through fan, but Razor did something similar to what you’d have in a full PC cooler: it has some sort of material inside which - when the fan is on - gets really cold (I mean COLD cold). Of course I measured the phone and enclosure the same moment I took the fan off and of course in a few moments it was above +9 because of the surroundings, but I stand to the accuracy of my measurements, it really cools the stuff down.

[@TheKnetic]

First off, thanks so much for this video. It was very well composed and touched on all of the important points that I wanted to know. One question: When filming with the cooler attached, do you hear the fan in the recording?

[@GeeksTable]

Thank you! As for the fan: yeah it produces a slight hiss, yes. It can be removed in post with some software like Isotope RX, but yeah that’s an extra step.

[@MrHollyJoker]

Great video. Thank you..

[@ne0nlightz]

Awesome comparison of SSD drives, would you consider reviewing the DockCase Pocket Photography Edition M.2 2230 Enclosure to the Hagibis and Acasis enclosures? It has some smart features and an interesting display to show read/write speeds, as well as 1/4-20 threads to mount to other parts of a camera rig. Very nifty and useful. But it doesnt have the USB PD port that the Hagibis has (although the Acasis is missing that feature to).

[@KGBot]

Hagibis MC100 pro comes with an extra usb c port which you can connect to a mic or fan etc

[@GeeksTable]

Yup, the pro model went on sale recently

[@DanielHernandez-yb6dc]

can i purchase and download movies and add to memery stick for playback?

[@antonius6302]

Thank you for your research with the SSD for iPhone, question, I also want to connect the Røde Wireless Pro, do you also have a solution for this? thank you in advance

[@marieta.s]

Thanks for doing this video. Hagibis was one of the enclosures I was looking at. Could you please recommend any compact type c media hubs so that we can attach the ssd drive plus external microphones? I don’t really need external lenses as other people but I do need good audio and don’t know what kind of media hub would be trustworthy.

[@GeeksTable]

You may buy the new Hagibis MC100 Pro, the Pro version has an extra USB-C for the mic. www.shophagibis.com/products/magnetic-m-2-2230-nvme-ssd-enclosure?variant=49431680385305

[@marieta.s]

chave you tried it? Are you certain that it supports audio? I know it supports charging but haven’t seen any information about audio support.

[@GAZDA82]

Thanks my geek brother. What do u use to external record on Samsung

[@iPhone-Cinematograhy]

Thank you for posting... very helpful!

[@bradfield1111]

Hello - great video ! I purchased several of these also to find the best option, and I established that cosmetically, the JEYI enclosure was the lightest, more direct and compact way to record ProRest video into my iPhone Pro Max 15. My joy at their great design quickly turned to disappointment when each attempt to record ProRes gave me the "write speeds too slow" dialog after spinning to process the file. I am using a Sabrent Rocket 2230 and the JEYi connects, lights correctly etc. Based on your recommendations and tests, I do not quite understand why the write speeds are not sufficient ? Thank you for any help...

[@GeeksTable]

It might be due to many reasons. The few that come to my mind: the SSD may be quite full and/or JEYI box gets quite hot. The default iPhone app records the highest bitrate possible (ProRes HQ), so you may want to try recording something more lightweight: ProRes or ProRes LT.

[@huongnoipartime]

Hi Alex, I bought Acasic EC-6609 Air as your recommendation. One thing I noticed that it's get warm when connect with my iphone even I'm not shooting video. Is that normal? Does Samsung T7 get warm too?

[@GeeksTable]

Yup, that may happen. Same thing happens to me when I keep an SSD attached to my iMac.

[@hn.fadlurahman]

Hagibis MC100's backcase actually can be changed to fin grill design backcase for better heat dissipation, but it sold separately

[@GeeksTable]

Yup. They’ve put this on sale recently. They also have a plate with a DJI gimbal mount.

[@GeeksTable]

Check my pinned comment - I got that backcase and gave it a test.

[@MikeO01]

Hi, was wondering if the iPhone would get hot when recording ProRes for 2 hours with Blackmagic App to external ssd not attached to the iPhone? Does it actually use the internal iPhone SSD at all? And if recording internal (provided you have a lot of internal storage), would it make a difference temperature wise if recording internal or external? And can you attache a USB microphone to the Hagibis MC100?

[@GeeksTable]

yep, iPhone gets quite hot regardless. I get overheating message after approx. 30 minutes of ProRes HQ recording. So I’m unsure if you can get 2 hours without a cooler attached to the phone. Hagibis has a model MC100 Pro, it has an extra USB for the mic.

[@MikeO01]

@@GeeksTable Thank you for the quick answer. My search was not clear weather the Hagibis MC100 is the pro model or what differentiates them. Do you have a link? Would you know a recording codec that does 2 hours without overheating, without cooling?

[@GeeksTable]

I’d say H264 should be okay for 2 hours. Here’s the link: www.shophagibis.com/products/magnetic-m-2-2230-nvme-ssd-enclosure?variant=49431680385305

[@Xkcdboy]

@GeeksTable: Great video! I just a quick question about an older video of yours named "iMac 2021 with VESA - unboxing & review". In this video you unboxed your iMac with a VESA adapter and mounted on a monitor arm. I am having a similar case - but my question is - These preinstalled VESA adapters cannot be taken off and install a spare standard Apple stand if we wish to do that?

[@GeeksTable]

I’m afraid it’s not that easy (aka impossible). The VESA adapter (and the stand) are attached from the inside of the iMac. So in order to swap, one has to literally tear the iMac apart.

[@Xkcdboy]

@@GeeksTable Jeez :( That would be like troublesome and if I wanted to get it done I would have to hire someone? Is there anyway I could get in touch with you over email? I am really stuck and would appreciate your two cents on the situation. Thanks bro.

Hi does the acadia work with i phone 14

[@Javasius]

Got the acasis case and the mp600 mini and it wont connect it to my iPhone, anyone know why?

[@GeeksTable]

You may need to connect it to your computer and format it first.

[@postsbyleon]

So i got the Corsair MP600 1 TB with the Anyoyo SSD case (i think its the extact same as Acasis but with different name) My problem is that the ssd wont show up in my files app or in blckmagic design. Dont know why tho because you tested both amd it worked for you. Would be really nice if you can help me.

[@GeeksTable]

You may want to check if it appears in the disk utility of your computer. Also try formatting it to a different file system.

[@postsbyleon]

@@GeeksTable thank will look into that and give you a response

[@postsbyleon]

@@GeeksTable hey I fixed it thank you

[@StMediaNL]

@@postsbyleon What formats are you able to record with the Blackmagic app? For me I need Prores Pxy. LT or regular won't work... :(

[@LetThemKnowWhoYouAre]

hey! what is the name of the MagSafe cardholder?

It’s some generic cardholder. On Amazon it’s listed as “AFARER Magnetic Card Holder” amzn.eu/d/08Ns37zW

It should work with some usb-to-lightning adapter + extra power.

It should work with some usb-to-lightning adapter + extra power.

Love the shirt hahaha

[@buffalosolider206]

this is what you deal with either just pay the extra 400-800$ to save you this hassle they punish you for getting the "demo" version of their product you really need the 1 TB its so annoying punishing the phone use over the next 3 years because you want to save a few bucks NMAD ANNOYING AMPPLE MAFIA MEMOREOY MONOLY
