With the advent of MagSafe and Apple finally adding a USB-C port on their iPhone’s two things emerged. First we saw wireless power banks, you just slap them onto the back of your phone and boom you are charging, no cables! Then we saw magnetic portable SSDs, the iPhone can capture 4K Apple ProRes which is amazing, but you can only do it if you have an SSD attached to the phone. So having a magnetic SSD just made it easier as it sticks right to the back of your phone and you don’t have to hold it when you are recording. The problem is you can’t use both of these at the same time, well ADATA wants to solve that problem with their SR800 Magnetic Power Bank SSD. This combines a 5,000 mAh wireless power bank with a detachable portable SSD, and they’ve even added a stand in too! Let’s take a look and see what this interesting device is all about!
Special thanks to ADATA for providing us with the SR800 Magnetic Power Bank SSD to review.

ADATA SR800 Magnetic Power Bank SSD Packaging
The SR800 comes in a pretty standard retail package from ADATA. On the front there is a picture of the device and it does let us know the capacity of the power bank and the capacity of the portable SSD. ADATA will be offering this drive in both 1TB and 2TB versions.
Flipping over to the back there is more information on the SR800 as well as a QR code to download their free backup software.
Getting everything out of the box you’ll find the SR800 which is made up of the wireless power bank and portable SSD, then there is a small USB-C cable. The USB-C cable can be used to charge up the wireless power bank, but also with the portable SSD.
