ProGrade Digital announces the PG10.5 Pro Mini SSD, available in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB capacities for $179.99, $299.99, and $549.99, respectively. The PG10.5 Pro Mini SSD is based on the latest USB 4.0 technology, which is designed to achieve a maximum bus speed of up to 40 Gbits/sec and provides a read speed of up to 4000MB/s, a write speed of up to 3500MB/s, and a sustained write speed of 1250MB/s. The PG10.5 is also equipped with ProGrade’s patented magnetic base and comes with an adhesive metal plate that allows users to mount the reader to any work surface or directly mount to the PG20 Pro Hub. The PG10.5 Pro Mini SSD ships with a high-quality certified USB 4.0 cable, assuring maximum performance possible.
“Our new PG10.5, Pro Mini SSD, allows imaging professionals to uniquely integrate high-speed SSD storage into their desktop workspace, which includes the ProGrade PG20, Thunderbolt 4, 4 port hub,” said Wes Brewer, CEO and founder of ProGrade Digital. “Leveraging the small physical size of the ProGrade workflow card readers and a patented magnetic base, the PG10.5 leverages a USB 4.0 interface that provides industry-leading read and write speeds – critical to high-speed post-production editing and storage. The PG10.5’s small physical size and robust design also allow it to be easily removed from the workstation, studio environment, and easily used in more mobile, non-studio environments.”
ProGrade Digital also announced the PG30 Ultra-Portable SSD available in 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB capacities for $99.99, $139.99, and $249.99, respectively. The PG30 Ultra-Portable SSD uses USB 3.2 Gen 2 technology, which is designed to achieve speeds of up to 10 Gbits/sec and provides read and write speeds of up to 1000MB/s, and a sustained write speed of 300MB/s. The PG30 is also equipped with caps that cover the Type-A and Type-C ports, and is IP65 rated, providing water and dust resistance.
“Our new PG30 Ultra-Portable SSD provides imaging professionals with a highly portable SSD that is perfect for quick and easy, ad-hoc file transfer needs,” said Josh Brewer, Product Manager of ProGrade Digital. “The PG30’s relatively small die-cast aluminum body, dual USB Type A and C connectors, coupled with an impressive IP65 dust and water rating, make it an ideal choice for all imaging professionals seeking the compatibility and reliability that ProGrade is known for.”
ProGrade also $79.99 PGM12 mobile card reader, a single-slot CFexpress Type A card reader. The PGM12 reader offers the same performance when transferring data as our full-size USB 3.2 Gen 2 readers, but is more portable due to its compact size. Designed for versatility, the PGM12 features a patented magnetic base, metal mounting plates, and a flexible cable, providing multiple mounting options to seamlessly integrate with any rig setup. With its mounting versatility, the PGM12 also accommodates a MagSafe charger, so the device doesn’t run out of battery while shooting.
“Our new PGM12, CFexpress Type A mobile card reader is designed to ensure content creators can reliably utilize the full capability of their iPhone 15 or 16 Pro/Pro Max, which requires external storage for up to 120 frames/second, ProRes video recording,” said Wes Brewer. ” Our customers can now record video onto low-power, CFexpress Type A memory cards, at the highest possible quality, and not have to worry about running out of storage space, which might be experienced with a fixed capacity storage device. As a key differentiator, the PGM12 reader is designed to utilize our patented magnetic base mounting system and is small enough to be affixed to an iPhone without impeding the use of MagSafe™ charging while recording.
