Abstract: The Kingston XS2000 Portable SSD ($99.99 for 500GB, $159.99 for 1TB as tested, $284.99 for 2TB) is one of the smallest external solid-state drives we have reviewed, but within its diminutive frame is a fast, durable, and powerful SSD that can take advanta...

The SMI SM2320 USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 is a brand new controller to the market and Kingston is the first to show it off with their XS2000 Portable SSD. It is small, lightweight and very fast at 2GB/s read and write speeds, using its own data cable to power the de...

Everywhere we looked, Kingston's 2TB XS2000 gave us what we wanted to see. Not only is it the most compatible USB-based portable SSD we've tested to date, but it's also, at the same time, overall the fastest. Remarkable, really, and as such, Kingston's XS...

Native USB, compact, durable, highly compatible, and fast as hell. Kingston's XS2000 portable SSD is best-in-class and TweakTown Elite. Goodbye, and good riddance to bridge chips.ProsSpeedPortability5-year warrantyConsNone...

Overall Performance, Diminutive size, Large capacity, Durability,
Needs USB 3.2 Gen 2 x2 compatible system to get the best performance, Lacks hardware encryption,
The last Kingston external drive we looked at was the latest member of the DataTraveler series - the DataTraveler Max. At the time we thought that drive was fast, but the XS2000 can show that drive a clean pair of heels as it carries a speed rating of 200...
Reasonably priced, Headline performance, Small and lightweight
Needs USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 for full speed, Limited SLC cache size, No USB Type-A adapter
Overall, there is plenty to like in the Kingston XS2000, especially for those lucky enough to have Gen 2x2 USB ports.Availability of that port is primarily the issue this product faces. Most systems don't have this port on them since many hardware makers...
Fantastic speed if you have a compatible system, 5-year warranty, Good value for money, Rugged with IP55 rating, Very solidly built
Requires the right hardware to maintain USP, Expensive if you just want plenty of fast storage
The Kingston XS2000 portable SSD has all the hallmarks of a successful product but we're still puzzled as to why the company chose to jump on the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 bandwagon with USB 4.0 on the verge of going mainstream. Still you can't go wrong with it if...
Properly Modern Storage SolutionThe Kingston XS2000 Portable SSD is definitely one of the fastest and compact SSDs we have tested so far. I used the SSD with a variety of laptops, PCs, and I was even able to copy files at a high speed from the OnePlus 8...
Abstract: If you need speedy local storage for lots of files (say, music or movies you carry around, or all those pics and videos you collect on your phone or camera), you may want to consider a portable solid-state drive (SSD) rather than a portable hard drive. O...
Compact and Petite SSD, Pricewise Justifiable, USB-C based SSD that's super Fast
Gen 2x2 Speeds doesn't work on many devices
But does it mean that the Kingston XS2000 Portable SSD is a bad product? Not at all. It's far from that. Although you only get to experience half the advertised speeds, when you do upgrade to capable hardware, it gives amazing performance. But honestly, t...
