iPhone users recording high-resolution video often hit a wall when internal storage fills up during long shoots. Princeton solves this problem with the DGLPS2020MT, a portable solid-state drive that attaches directly to the back of compatible Apple devices. This design eliminates the need for bulky cables or separate adapters, allowing creators to offload large video files instantly. The drive launches in Japan on June 26, 2026, offering a practical solution for professionals who need reliable external storage on the go.
Portable drive offers MagSafe attachment and IP65 rating
The device relies on MagSafe compatibility to connect securely to Apple hardware without obstructing the camera lens or ports. It connects to other computers using a USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C interface, ensuring broad compatibility beyond just the Apple ecosystem. Princeton built the drive around 3D NAND flash memory, which provides the necessary density for high-capacity storage in a compact form factor. The product ships in two specific model variants, DGLPS2020MT01BL and DGLPS2020MT02BL, catering to different storage needs.
Specifications
- Model: DGLPS2020MT
- Interface: USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C
- Sequential Read: 2,000MB/s
- Sequential Write: 1,800MB/s
- NAND Type: 3D NAND
Performance metrics for the DGLPS2020MT show sequential read speeds reaching up to 2,000MB/s and write speeds up to 1,800MB/s. These transfer rates allow users to move large video files quickly, reducing the downtime between recording sessions. The physical chassis measures 58mm by 79mm with a slim profile of 6.5mm, weighing just 54.8 grams for easy portability. The unit supports an operating temperature range of 0 to 70 degrees Celsius, ensuring stability in various environments.
Princeton rates the drive with IP65 water and dust resistance, making it suitable for outdoor use where weather conditions might be unpredictable. The company also highlights support for direct saving of Apple ProRes format files, which helps resolve storage shortages on iPhones directly. This capability is particularly useful for videographers who shoot in high-bitrate codecs that consume space rapidly. The drive comes with a three-year product warranty, providing long-term assurance for the hardware investment.
Pricing for the Japanese market reflects the two available capacity tiers. The 1TB model, identified as DGLPS2020MT01BL, is listed at 67,400 JPY (around $418). The higher-capacity 2TB model, identified as DGLPS2020MT02BL, carries a price tag of 132,000 JPY (around $819). These prices include tax and set the cost for early adopters in the region before wider distribution might occur.
