Portable 2 TB SSD for mobile professionals

The Kingston SXS2000/2000G provides 2 TB of 3D NAND storage in a pocket-sized silver enclosure. It connects via USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C and delivers sequential reads and writes up to 2000 MBps. The drive suits photographers, videographers and anyone moving large project files between workstations.

Passive cooling within 0 °C to 40 °C

No fan or moving parts are present so the drive runs silently. Power is drawn entirely from the host USB port, keeping cable count to one. Operating temperature is rated 0 °C to 40 °C and storage temperature spans -20 °C to 85 °C.

USB-C host with removable rubber sleeve

A USB Type-C port on the host is required; the drive works with Windows 10, 8.1, Mac OS 10.14 and later, Linux 2.6 and later, and Chrome OS. The sleeve adds water resistance and shock protection for travel. At 69.54 mm by 32.58 mm by 13.5 mm and 28.9 g it fits in a shirt pocket, freeing desk space and eliminating the need for an external power brick.

Questions about this item

How do I install the XS2000 on Windows 10 and what step do people often miss?

Connect the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C cable to a compatible port; the drive appears automatically, but you must format it in Disk Management before first use.

What maintenance or replacement will the 2TB 3D NAND drive need later?

No scheduled maintenance is required; the 3D NAND memory handles wear internally, so replacement only occurs if the drive fails or capacity is exceeded.

What limit appears first during sustained transfers at up to 2000 MBps?

The operating temperature ceiling of 40°C is reached first; prolonged heavy writes will throttle speeds to keep the drive within that limit.
