USB 3.2 Gen 2 speed
A 10 Gbps USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 connection delivers up to 1,050 MB/s read and 1,000 MB/s write, so backups and large file transfers finish quickly.
Ultra-compact and light
One of the smallest drives in its class at around 29 g, the XS1000 slips easily into a pocket, bag or keychain pouch for true grab-and-go storage.
Big capacity to carry
With 2TB of space you can back up photo libraries, documents and video and keep them with you without carrying a bulky external drive.
Distinctive red finish
A sleek two-tone body in red is easy to spot in a bag and adds a splash of colour to your everyday kit.
Plug-and-play compatibility
Works with Windows, macOS and other USB-C or USB-A devices. A USB-C to USB-A cable is included, and the drive is bus-powered — no separate power supply needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast is the Kingston XS1000?
It reaches up to 1,050 MB/s read and 1,000 MB/s write over a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) connection — much faster than a portable hard drive and ideal for backups and everyday transfers.
Is the XS1000 suitable for video editing?
It handles light media work and offloading files well. For editing large 4K video directly from the drive, a faster USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 SSD (up to 2,000 MB/s) is a better match.
Does it work with both Windows and Mac?
Yes. The XS1000 works with Windows and macOS out of the box and can be reformatted for your preferred system. It connects via USB-C, with a USB-C to USB-A cable included.
What is the difference between the XS1000 and XS2000?
The XS1000 uses USB 3.2 Gen 2 (up to 1,050 MB/s), while the XS2000 uses USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (up to 2,000 MB/s) and adds a rubber sleeve with IP55 protection. The XS1000 is the slimmer, more affordable option.

Singular Expert Insight
The Kingston XS1000 is one of the smallest 2TB SSDs available — about 29 g and roughly the size of a car key — yet its USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface still delivers up to 1,050/1,000 MB/s, plenty for everyday backups and file transfers. This is the red edition; a black version is also offered if you prefer a stealthier look. If you need faster 2,000 MB/s performance, step up to the Gen 2x2 XS2000 or a SanDisk Extreme; for the same speed class in a rugged shell, compare the Crucial X9. Browse the full External SSDs range, or add an internal SSD for in-system storage.
Buyer’s Guide
Choose the XS1000 if
You want a very compact, affordable 2TB SSD with fast 10 Gbps transfers for backups and everyday portable storage.
Consider the XS2000 if
You need maximum speed (up to 2,000 MB/s) and added durability with an IP55 rubber sleeve for tougher environments.
Consider lower capacity if
You don’t need 2TB — the XS1000 also comes in smaller capacities for less, with the same speed.
