Kingston SXS2000 500GB USB-C Portable SSD - Up to 2000MB/s

Does exactly what it says. Amazing how compact it is. Nice and fast, I use it to play games from even (like BG3) and works perfectly fine.
The rubber case looks nice and sturdy, same as the included cable. Does exactly what it says. Amazing how compact it is. Nice and fast, I use it to play games from even (like BG3) and works perfectly fine.

It is astounding to me that such a small device can have so much storage capacity. As someone who travels a lot for work this portable SSD allows me to take the entire contents of my NAS box with me and also have a fast back-up device while working away. The drive comes unformatted so you can format it to suit your needs. The read/write speed is super fast if using USB3 Gen 2x2 or later but still sufficiently fast using earlier versions of the USB protocol. The device comes with a short USB C to USB C cable but you may want to consider buying a USB A to USB C cable if you want to use the drive with older computers or NAS boxes.

The drive also comes with a rubber sleeve so can survive the rough and tumble that comes with being a portable device. I consider the price I paid for 2 TB of portable storage to be excellent value for money. PB Tech's online ordering system is easy to follow and my order was processed in a very timely manner. Overall, I am very happy with the Kingston 2 TB SSD and can recommend it to others.

Great drive, compact and great transfer speeds Great drive, compact and great transfer speeds

Great speed - no issues Great speed - no issues

Basically it’s like going from black & white TV to OLED Tv..
I guess I was used to some fast transfer tech but this is like something else altogether!
It look literally seconds to copy a 500MB file from this SSD to my iPad Pro & by that I mean it was basically instantaneous.
I’m so wrapped. Plus it’s tiny! Incredibly portable, only ways a few grams; perfect for use with my iPad Pro or any laptop. Basically it’s like going from black & white TV to OLED Tv..

A great purchase for the 2TB SSD and product performs just as expected. I have most of my games running on it and loading time is extremely fast. A great purchase for the 2TB SSD and product performs just as expected. I have most of my games running on it and loading time is extremely fast.

It seemed a bargain for 2TB and speeds of 2,000MB/s, but it can't do that on my setup unfortunately. It's still a good price for 2TB @ 1,000MB/s, but I was expecting double that speed. There's so many USB generations that I got my research wrong and my 2018 MBP will only give me half the speed it's capable of - even though on TB3 I can get 2,000MB/s on other SSD drives. Now I've looked into it further it looks like to get 2,000MB/s you need one of a few specific motherboards or a PCI-e card. Do your research better than me and make 100% sure your system has USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 support if you want/need this to run at 2,000MB/s

It is still a good and competitive price for an SSD that will do 1,000MB/s so don't write it off because your system supports slower USB speeds, but compare apples with apples @ 1,000MB/s
