    • Reliable
Style: Up to 1050MB/s XS1000 - Red Size: 1TB
Never had an issue. Works with my computer easily. It isn’t noisy at all. It doesn’t really make a sound. It connects right away when I plug it in. I never felt that it was hot or overheating. It helps me keep my artwork in another location, in case my computer decides to die. Great for backup.

    • Good value for size and speed of drive - solid performance
Style: Up to 1050MB/s XS1000 - Red Size: 2TB
Fast, portable, ready to go. Good price for the storage and speed ($119 for 2TB@1GB per second). The color (red) happens to match one of my peripherals, which is an interesting happenstance. Light and extremely portable. This is, upon initial use, a positive experience in both product quality and shipping expeditiousness. I'll update the review if there are further details to report. Very good! ... show more

    • Actually Pocket-Sized
Style: Up to 1050MB/s XS1000 - Red Size: 2TB
I bought this storage expecting it to be about an iPod Touch sized SSD but it is actually really small. I like how it comes with a cable included but wish it was a USB C to USB C cable rather than a USB C to USB A and a converter to USB-C but I am just nit-picking at this point. The storage comes in FAT32 format making it easy to move files in and out across devices. However, you can optimize for NTFS format for Windows-Only. Additionally, I like how fast it reads and write, making it easy to transfer files and with a lot of archives saved on my computer, I can easily life a lot of storage out from my internal storage to this external storage. ... show more

    • Excellent Value.
Style: Up to 1050MB/s XS1000 - Red Size: 2TB
Excellent Value. Comes with Cable, adapter for USBC to USB3. Typically drives deliver 7-10% less formatted capacity than their advertised size, BUT THIS ONE REPORTS 2.13 TB of SPACE for a Drive advertised as 2TB!! How do you beat that ? Excellent Storage Capacity. Does not get hot. And it is noticeably physically smaller than Samsung and SanDisk SSDs. I usually balk at giving 5 stars, because there is always some type of flaw, design if not engineering, but this thing is awesome. I keep looking for an excuse to buy another one. ... show more

    • Reliable storage
Style: Up to 1050MB/s XS1000 - Red Size: 2TB
My first Kingston product was a flashdrive I bought 15 years ago. In that time, it outlasted 3 other flashdrives from other manufacturers and one 4T external harddrive. Flashdrives are only as good as the quality of the memory material. Apparently Kingston uses very high quality material Every Kingston product I bought is still working, including that 15+ year old drive. Zero problems, high quality, fast read/write speeds, these are just excellent products that I wholeheartedly trust. ... show more

Style: Up to 1050MB/s XS1000 - Red Size: 2TB
I bought three of these and I'm returning 2 for refunds. This third was given as a gift and I'm trying to retirieve it. The first one (2T) was used to archive a 1.16T folder with my photograph archives. First it said it would take 4 hrs for the backup (on an Apple M4 Pro mini) but it quickly moved to one hour. Four hours later it was slower than a turtle and it actually seemed to be losing data. I was unable to stop it or eject it and followed all the technical advice and realized this was not the SSD for archival puposes. Turned the computer off, wiped the drive and made refund arrangements. This morning I tried the same process with the identical #2 drive. The computer didn't see the drive in spite of changing ports and rebooting. When I attached another cable (not the one supplied) the drive was immediately recognized and I began the file transfer. Again it said one hour to complete the job. After an hour only 1/4 of the job was completed and the tranfer rate was down to a very, v e r y slow crawl. So...between the unusable cable and the very slow transfer rate I realized this drive was not for me. There are some other complaints about the supplied cable and adapter. If you must use this drive I'd suggest a good, short, Thunderbolt 3 cable. Oh well, as some have stated...you get what you pay for. I'll now pay the premium for the much more reliable Samsung T7. ... show more
