award-winning design
Kingston Technology, a world leader in memory products and technology solutions, has announced the addition of a new red colored XS1000 External SSD, a small and incredibly sleek file backup solution. The XS1000 red joins the original all-black XS1000 and silver XS2000, diversifying Kingston’s external SSD product lineup. These external drives are extremely compact and under 29 grams to provide pocket-sized portability. They are the perfect fit for backups and for expanding iPhone 15’s storage, providing a cost-effective alternative for additional space.
Kingston’s XS1000 family offers read speeds up to 1,050MB/s and large capacities up to 2TB, providing ample room for storing countless photos, videos, games, and files. With iPhone 15 storage expansion capabilities, the drive comes with a USB-C to USB-A cable and an additional USB-A to USB-C adapter for maximum compatibility with newer and legacy devices, including PCs, Macs, tablets, game consoles, smart TVs, iPhones and Android smartphones. Small like a key fob, the XS1000 serves as a reliable companion for easy file backups, guaranteeing continuous access to your important documents, cherished memories and media files. Earlier this year, Kingston’s XS1000 External SSD was named a winner of the 2024 Red Dot Award: Product Design. The Red Dot Design Award, established in 1955 and often dubbed “The Oscars of Design”, is one of the world’s largest and most prestigious design competitions, receiving more than 20,000 annual submissions from approximately 60 countries worldwide. Receiving the award signifies that the XS1000’s functional and aesthetic design, as well as its product quality, are recognized by industry professionals.
“Building on the success of the all-black XS1000, we’ve introduced a new colorway for those customers looking to stand out and express themselves through color,” said Kingston. “With the addition of XS1000 red, they now have more options for external storage and can expand their digital library with an award-winning design.”
XS1000 is available in 1TB and 2TB capacities and is backed by a limited five-year warranty with free technical support. For more information visit kingston.com.
