KINGSTON XS2000 500GB Gen2 External Solid State Drive ( SSD )

The Kingston XS2000 500GB external SSD is engineered for professionals and content creators who demand high-speed, portable storage without compromise. Built around USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 technology, this pocket-sized drive achieves sequential read and write speeds of up to 2,000MB/s, enabling fast offloading of high-resolution images, 8K video, and large project files directly on location or on the move. Connecting via USB Type-C, the XS2000 is compatible right out of the box with a wide range of operating systems and platforms, including Windows 11/10/8.1, macOS 10.14 and later, Linux 2.6 and later, Chrome OS, Android, iOS/iPadOS 13 and later, and gaming consoles. This broad compatibility makes it a genuinely versatile companion whether you are switching between a laptop, a smartphone, or a console. Durability is a core consideration in the XS2000's design. The drive ships with a removable ruggedised rubber sleeve that provides drop protection and carries an IP55 rating, meaning it is tested to resist water spray from any direction and particulate ingress. The metal and plastic casing measures just 69.54 x 32.58 x 13.5 mm and weighs 28.9 g, so it slips easily into a pocket or camera bag. In the box you will find a 12-inch USB-C to USB-C cable alongside the rubber sleeve, so the drive is ready to use immediately after purchase. Storage uses 3D NAND flash technology, combining reliability with compact physical dimensions.
