Kingston XS2000 1TB portable SSD

A removable rubber sleeve adds IP55 water and dust resistance for durability in field conditions. The USB Type-C connector plugs directly into modern laptops, desktops and compatible mobile devices without extra cables.

Check host port and operating-system version

Maximum 2000 MBps performance requires a host port that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2x2; slower ports will limit throughput. Supported systems include Windows 8.1 and 10, Mac OS 10.14.x or later, Linux kernel 2.6.x or later, and Chrome OS. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 40°C.

Questions about this item

What real-world ceiling does the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C interface impose on this drive?

The USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C connection caps practical throughput at the drive's rated 2000 MBps for both sequential read and write.

What physical clearance does the 69.54 mm × 32.58 mm × 13.5 mm enclosure with its removable rubber sleeve require?

The drive measures 69.54 mm wide, 32.58 mm deep and 13.5 mm tall; the IP55-rated sleeve adds a thin layer, so allow a few extra millimetres in tight pockets or pouches.

How is the XS2000 set up on Windows 10, and what step do users often miss?

Plug the USB Type-C cable into a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port, wait for the drive to appear in File Explorer, then format it to NTFS or exFAT before first use — skipping the format is the common oversight.
