Kingston Unveils Pocket-Sized XS1000 External SSD

Kingston today unveiled the second model in its portable SSD lineup, the XS1000 External SSD. The model comes at an extremely lightweight design at just 29g, and a size no larger than regular earbuds cases at just 69.54 x 32.58 x 13.5mm.

The company claims the SSD can achieve peak 1050MB/s read and 1000MB/s write speeds (with USB 3.2 Gen 2 support), and comes with two storage capacities – 1TB and 2TB. As with most portable SSDs on the market, the drive comes included with both USB-A and USB-C cables to maintain wide compatibility with most PCs, laptops and smartphones.

“Our customers are looking for convenient, fast and reliable storage at an affordable price. With the addition of XS1000 they can look no further as we now offer more options for external storage,” said Kingston in a press release.

The XS1000 is now available in 1TB and 2TB capacities, costing RM343 and RM598 respectively and is backed by Kingston’s 5-year warranty with free technical support; customers who purchase the model before 15th October are eligible for a free lanyard as a gift.
