Kingston has expanded its XS1000 External SSD lineup with the introduction of a striking new red variant. This compact and stylish file backup solution joins the existing all-black XS1000 and the silver XS2000, enhancing the variety within Kingston’s external SSD offerings.
Weighing under 29 grams, the XS1000 drives are highly portable, making them an ideal companion for on-the-go backups and storage expansion for the iPhone 15. The new red colorway provides a fresh option for those who want a pop of color with their tech accessories.
The XS1000 series boasts impressive read speeds of up to 1,050 MB/s and offers storage capacities up to 2 TB, allowing users to store extensive collections of photos, videos, games, and other files. We’ve tested the XS1000 in our review and it was an excellent drive for its size.
To ensure compatibility with a wide range of devices, including PCs, Macs, tablets, game consoles, smart TVs, iPhones, and Android smartphones, the drive includes a USB-C® to USB-A cable and an additional USB-A to USB-C adapter. Its key fob-like size makes it a convenient and reliable option for easy file backups, ensuring that users always have access to their important documents and cherished memories.
Earlier this year, the XS1000 External SSD was honored with the 2024 Red Dot Award for Product Design, one of the most prestigious design awards globally. This recognition underscores the XS1000’s functional and aesthetic excellence, highlighting its top-tier product quality.
“Building on the success of the all-black XS1000, we’re excited to introduce a new colorway for customers who want to stand out and express their individuality through color,” said Kingston. “With the addition of the XS1000 red, users now have more options for expanding their digital libraries with a design that has been recognized by industry experts.”
The XS1000 is available in 1 TB and 2 TB capacities and comes with a limited five-year warranty and free technical support. For more details, visit kingston.com.
