iPhone 13, iOS 18
Connect external storage devices to iPhone - Apple Support
Note that external drives often require their own power supply. Also,
"An external storage device must have only a single data partition, and it must be formatted as APFS, APFS (encrypted), macOS Extended (HFS+), exFAT (FAT64), FAT32, or FAT. To change the formatting of a storage device, use a Mac or PC."
Drives that come pre-formatted with the Windows filesystem NTFS must be reformatted before you can use them with iPhones.
As for the "mag drive product from the Kyo brand", I don't know much about it.
Kyo – MagDrive MD10 – Introduction
The drive claims transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps (USB 3.1 Gen 2 speed), but I suspect that if you were using the drive with an iPhone 13, the iPhone's Lightning port would limit the speed to 480 Mbps (USB 2 speed), tops.

Apple has a USB-C to Lightning adapter that goes from a USB-C plug to a Lightning socket – but I think that's the reverse of what you're talking about.
USB-C to Lightning Adapter - Apple
There is a 1 meter cable with a Lightning plug on one end, and a USB-C plug on the other, but it seems a bit bulky for attaching a magnetic "stick-on" SSD.
USB-C to Lightning Cable (1 m) - Apple
There do seem to be short third-party Lightning to USB-C cables with lengths ranging from 4 to 8 inches, although many of those might be "charging-only" cables that were unsuitable for connecting an external drive.
However, you still might need an external USB-C power supply to provide operating power for that drive.

According to the Apple Support article to which I provided a link,
"Note: External hard drives often require an external power source when used with iPhone."
This has the answer --> Open Photos, then tap your SD card or digital camera in the Devices section. In iOS 17 and earlier, Photos should automatically open to the Import tab or you ...
Import and export photos to your iPhone or iPad using ...

I asked about the external SSDs that are supported for the iPhone 13, do all types of external SSDs support them?

Okay, I understand what you mean, it means that if the external SSD itself has its own port for power supply, it should be possible, right?
Can I use any external SSD with my iPhone 13?
