How fast is the Verbatim SnapBack?

Verbatim rates it at up to 2050MB/s read and 1900MB/s write over USB 3.2 Gen 2x2. You only get those figures from a port that supports 2x2; on plain USB 3.2 Gen 2 or Thunderbolt it runs slower.

Does it work with an iPhone?

Yes, with USB-C iPhone 15 and newer, and it can record Apple ProRes 4K video directly to the drive. The magnet holds on MagSafe-compatible phones; with other phones you use the cable.

What comes in the box?

The drive and two USB-C cables. There is no power adapter, since it draws power from the connected device.

Is it good for video editing?

Its rated write speed suits 4K ProRes capture and large file transfers. For heavy multicam timelines, a desktop-class SSD on a fast port is the safer choice.

How does it compare with other magnetic SSDs?

It is thinner than most magnetic rivals and rated faster on paper. Rivals often add rugged ratings or encryption software, which Verbatim does not list here.

Will the magnet damage my phone?

No. It uses magnets like MagSafe accessories, which phones are designed to work with. The drive still needs the USB-C cable for data.

Our take on the Verbatim 1TB SnapBack Portable SSD

The Verbatim SnapBack is a 1TB portable SSD built to snap onto the back of a MagSafe-compatible phone. It is about 0.2 inches thick and uses USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 for rated reads up to 2050MB/s and writes up to 1900MB/s, fast enough for 4K ProRes recording straight to the drive. Two USB-C cables come in the box, and it works with USB-C iPhones, Android, macOS and Windows. Against rival magnetic drives it leans on speed and a metal body rather than rugged ratings or a bundled app suite.
