About this product
The Kingston XS1000 SSD (SXS1000/2000G) is a 2TB external portable solid-state drive, offering reliable storage for on-the-go users. It connects via a USB 3.2 Gen 2 (USB-A) interface and delivers a swift read speed of 1050MB/s. Manufactured in Taiwan, this black-colored portable SSD is an excellent solution for expanding storage on compatible devices, providing ample capacity and performance for large files and data backups.
Our take
For those needing significant portable storage with good speed, the Kingston XS1000 is a solid option. The 2TB capacity is excellent for a portable drive, allowing you to carry a vast amount of data. The 1050MB/s read speed is commendable, ensuring quick file access and transfers over its USB 3.2 Gen 2 USB-A interface. While the USB-A connection is widely compatible, I do find myself wishing for a native USB-C port for newer laptops. Nevertheless, it's a dependable and capable drive for anyone prioritizing capacity and straightforward performance in a portable SSD.
