SXS1000R/2000GA

A modern external drive with high operating speeds and a durable external case. It belongs to the mid-price segment and is part of the specialized XS line, where Kingston releases affordable and modern portable SSDs with an excellent balance between device size and available memory capacity. In this case, it refers to a miniature 29-gram device, slightly larger than an ordinary flash drive, yet boasting a memory capacity from 1 to 2 TB.

Designed for photographers, videographers, software developers, content creators, and other users who need to regularly transfer, copy, and archive large volumes of data. The Kingston XS1000 is equipped with a dual-sided USB cable featuring a 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface, simplifying its connection to modern PCs and laptops. The maximum read speed is about 1000 MB/s, and the write speed is about 1050 MB/s.

The manufacturer assures that the device is compatible with various operating systems, including Windows and MacOS, ensuring full functionality on a wide variety of device types, including laptops, desktop computers, smartphones, tablets, gaming consoles, etc. To achieve optimal performance, devices must support the USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface and UASP drivers. Otherwise, the final speed will be determined not by the drive itself but by the gadget to which it is connected.

purchased as a device instead of an old classic storage device
very fast, the main thing is that your PC can handle it, tens of terabytes run like crazy, considering getting a modern laptop because my current one can't keep up with receiving a large amount from it.
and nothing, the device is as simple as a corner of a house, perhaps I would make the body shapes more pleasant to carry in a pocket, and ideally a connector on the perimeter of the body, it would be perfect.

Excellent external SSD - fast, compact and very convenient.
14 December 2025 
Compact in size and fast external SSD, lightweight, easily fits in a pocket or backpack. Connects instantly without drivers, just plug in and works. For its price, it's a very good option, definitely recommended for purchase.
Very compact and lightweight, high performance speed, driver-free, quality build by Kingston.
It is advisable to carry it in a case, the case is not very durable.

if you need an external SSD, then this is your choice
15 December 2024 
I received this device as a gift for my birthday. I am very satisfied. I use it for storing various files for projects sized approximately 1-3 GB, it writes quickly, and it is comfortable to work from it. I would also like to note its size compared to the SSD pocket, it is twice smaller and much lighter. The speed of this SSD is as claimed, and there have been no overheating issues so far.
weight
so far everything is good
