2 TB USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C external SSD

This Kingston SXS1000 portable solid-state drive offers two terabytes of 3D NAND storage in a red aluminium enclosure that weighs 28.9 grams. It connects via USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C and reaches sequential read speeds up to 1050 MBps and write speeds up to 1000 MBps. The drive suits anyone who needs fast, compact backup for documents, photos and media across multiple devices.

Before ordering check your host ports

The drive ships with a USB Type-C to Type-C cable and a Type-C to Type-A adapter so it works with both port styles. Verify that your computer, phone or tablet runs Windows 10 or 11, macOS 10.15 or later, Linux kernel 4.4 or later, Chrome OS, Android or iOS/iPadOS 13 or later. Also confirm the operating environment stays between 0 °C and 40 °C during use.

Upgrade from slower or smaller portable drives

If you currently rely on a mechanical external hard drive or an older USB 3.0 flash drive, the jump to 1050 MBps read performance and two terabytes in a 29 gram body cuts transfer waits dramatically. The upgrade is worthwhile when you regularly move multi-gigabyte video projects, large photo libraries or full system images and want them to finish in seconds rather than minutes.
