Portable storage for mobile devices has really exploded lately, especially with Apple finally making the switch to USB-C on their newer iPhones. With phones really becoming content-creation machines we definitely need more storage and with the ability to record 4K 60 FPS video you are going to run out of the built-in storage really quickly! That is where the MSI DATAMAG 20Gbps comes in. This USB 3.2 gen 2×2 portable solid state drive is going to give you the extra storage that you need, but on top of that it will magnetically attach to your device so you are never without it! Let’s take a look and see what this drive is all about!
Special thanks to MSI for providing us with the DATAMAG 20Gbps Magnetic Portable Solid State Drive to review.

Packaging of the MSI DATAMAG 20Gbps
The DATAMAG 20Gbps comes in a retail box that is not much larger than the drive itself. We have the 1TB version here, but it will also come in 2TB and 4TB versions.
On the back of box we get a list of features and specifications.
Getting everything out of the box we find the drive itself, two USB-C cables (one for use on a mobile device & one for use on your PC), a USB-C to USB-A adapter, 2 metal rings, and a user’s guide. It is nice that they do include the metal rings as not everyone’s device will be magsafe compatible and you can also use these on other devices like laptops etc.
