Dual USB-A/C portable SSD

This Kingston portable SSD provides 1 TB of external storage in a red metal casing with both USB Type-A and Type-C connectors built in. It connects over USB 3.2 Gen 2 and delivers sequential reads up to 1,050 MB/s and writes up to 950 MB/s. The drive is suited for users who move large files between laptops, desktops and mobile devices.

Suited for mixed-port workflows

Creators and professionals who regularly switch between USB-A and USB-C hosts will benefit from the dual-connector design and the quoted transfer rates. Buyers who require hardware encryption or ruggedised IP-rated water resistance should consider other product lines. Those needing capacities beyond 1 TB or higher sustained throughput for intensive workloads will also need a different solution.

USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface

The single specification that determines compatibility is the USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface with dual USB-A and USB-C connectors. Verify that your devices support this standard to achieve the stated performance of up to 1,050 MB/s read and 950 MB/s write.

Questions about this item

What connectors come on the drive and do I need any extra cables?

The drive has both USB Type-A and Type-C connectors built in, so it plugs directly into either port without separate cables or adapters.

Is the 1 TB capacity the only option in this series or are other sizes available?

The listed model is the 1 TB version; the supplier data does not show other capacities for this specific part number.

Will I actually see the 1050 MB/s read speed on my laptop?

The 1050 MB/s read and 950 MB/s write figures are maximum sequential speeds over USB 3.2 Gen 2; real-world throughput depends on the host port, file sizes and system overhead.
