  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Blazing Fast and Supremely Portable - A Must-Have SSD!
Style: Up to 2000MB/s XS2000 Size: 1TB
As someone who deals with massive amounts of data for my business and marketing needs, the Kingston XS2000 1TB portable SSD has been an absolute game-changer. I honestly kick myself for not buying one of these sooner! Let's start with the obvious - having a terabyte of super-fast solid state storage that fits in my pocket is immensely valuable. I can carry virtually my entire content library with me wherever I go. No more bulky external hard drives or swapping out computers to access files. It's all lightning-quick on this little drive. The read/write speeds on the XS2000 are simply phenomenal, especially when using the included USB-C cable. Transferring large video files, RAW photos, or entire project folders happens in just seconds rather than minutes. It makes my workflow so much more efficient. Another standout feature is how seamlessly the SSD works between different operating systems. I can use it interchangeably on my Mac and Windows desktop with zero compatibility issues. The plug-and-play functionality is such a time-saver. Build quality is impressive too. The sleek aluminum body gives it a premium feel while still being extremely light and portable. And despite being incredibly compact, it has survived a few accidental drops to the floor with zero data loss or damage. I could go on singing its praises, but you get the idea - the Kingston XS2000 is worth every penny for anyone who needs blazing transfer speeds and massive capacity in a truly portable SSD. It's an indispensable tool for my career that has already paid for itself many times over in time savings and reduced hassle. Don't sit on this drive, just buy it already! ... show more

  • Got Lucky With this One !
Style: Up to 1050MB/s XS1000 - Black Size: 2TB
I have pretty beefy custom-built Gaming Rig.It has 3 - 2TB internal hard-drives (one an SSD) ,plus I have 2 USB-A, (3.2) external HDDs connected as well.I looked for another External USB-A hard drive but needed an SSD. Got very lucky with this one. It was fairly inexpensive (roughly $109 w/tax). The reason I say I 'got lucky' is b/c Kingston is a good brand plus everywhere I looked ,all the other external SSDs used USB-C connection w/o a USB-A adapter. I think most of the USB-C to USB-A adapters cost $15 and up. Which isn't that big of a deal if you're just gonna store pictures , music , movies, etc on it , but I mainly use it for installing and running video-games off it. Thing is , once you buy an external USB-C SSD , and use a USB-A adapter ,the data transfer speeds drops dramatically ( for a gamer that's a deal breaker ) but since this one already connects directly to a USB-A port ,it's a pretty darn fast external SSD. I've installed a few games on it since purchasing it and they run smooth & fast. Pretty amazing for an SSD that isn't internally connected to you motherboard. Not sure if they're still available ,but if they are ,even if you're just a casual gamer , it's a great purchase. However ,as I stated before ,if you're not a gamer , this won't matter to you much anyway. ... show more

  • Great product as described
Style: Up to 2000MB/s XS2000 Size: 2TB
Arrived in time good quality heavy duty and works very well and easy to use . Although there was not enough explanation about how to use it but I found on you tube one guy who explained how to use it in one minute. I will buy the 4 TB .

  • A thunderbolt
Style: Up to 1050MB/s XS1000 - Black Size: 2TB
Blinding fast, and a ton of storage for the price (ssd-wise). Comes with an adapter plug so you can run it off usb-a or usb-c. Small footprint. I used to buy Kingston memory chips when I bought my first Mac 30+ years ago, and they don’t seem to have compromised their quality in that time.

This disk works with my iPad 11 pro and 15 pro max, but does not work with 11 pro max. Please when you order, you will definitely pay attention.

  • Don't use the dongle
Style: Up to 1050MB/s XS1000 - Black Size: 2TB
It's exactly what I wanted. The reviews here are all true, from the good speeds to the bad speeds. When trying to move some games around to the SSD with the included USB-C dongle I noticed I was getting about 50mb/s or sometimes it would dip lower. Restarted my computer with it plugged into my USB 3.0 (or 3.1 I don't remember) port and the speed jumped up closer to the advertised speeds. While it could be my USB port, with the all the reviews of poor speed Im leaning more towards a janky A to C dongle. ... show more

  • It seems to be working fine.
Style: Up to 2000MB/s XS2000 Size: 2TB
It works fine, the quality is good, pleasant that the case is a gift. And most importantly, the memory corresponds to the one declared by the manufacturer. Transfers everything very quickly with MacBook works well too.
