Kingston previously released a black edition of its tiny - under 29g - XS1000 USB-based SSD and re-released it in a stunningly beautiful red colourway for those who like a little more expression. The device retains its sleek and compact design, fitting easily into your bag or pocket.
It's no slouch by any means, with amazing speeds of up to 1,050MB/s and high capacities of up to 2TB of storage. Yes, in the palm of your hand you can carry vast troves of creative content, precious memories, delightful entertainment, essential backups, and more.
The device supports USB 3.2 gen 2, with backwards compatibility for USB 3.2 Gen 1.

With cavernous capacity, with fast read and write, it's an excellent addition to the arsenal for anyone creating or consuming content, or who needs tools-on-the-go, or for lots of different purposes. In short: if you need to store data, no matter what it is, the Kingston XS1000 external SSD is a must. I love the red, but the black is also impressive looking.
Why carry loads of slower USB sticks, or bulky external SSDs, when the XS1000 can be your convenient partner.
