Will It Do ProRes 4K 120FPS With the iPhone 16 Pro Max? Testing a Fast External USB-C NVME SSD Drive

So another test to find an external SSD that will record continuous long takes of ProRes 4K 120FPS with the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

The external USB-C SSD storage drive that I am testing with the iPhone 16 Pro Max is one that contains a Sabrent NVMe USB-C enclosure with a Samsung SSD980 NVMe Gen3 M.2 SSD.

This combination of enclosure and SSD is the fastest that I've found so far for both the iPhone 16 Pro Max and also the iPhone 15 pro Max.

I am still yet to find any combination of enclosure and SSD that uses a Gen4 NVMe, as all the variations I have tried require more power or current than what any iPhone can supply.

However, there will be no difference in speeds between using Gen 3 NVME and Gen 4 NVME SSDs, as both will be much faster than the maximum bandwidth of a 10Gb/s USB-C NVMe enclosure.

While different NVME SSDs will have different and better abilities to sustain a minimum bitrate during constant writing and capturing. I now suspect an issue within the iPhone that's causing the data rate to drop over USB-C and causing the frame drops. More about this in another video after I have done more testing
