Kingston Technology has announced the addition of a striking red color to its XS1000 External SSD lineup. This new color joins the original black XS1000 and silver XS2000, offering users more style choices while maintaining the same compact, reliable storage solutions Kingston is known for.
Weighing in at under 29 grams, the XS1000 is incredibly portable, making it an ideal option for backing up files and expanding storage on devices like the iPhone 15. The new red variant maintains the sleek, pocket-sized design of its predecessors, providing a stylish and practical solution for those needing extra space without sacrificing portability.
The XS1000 series boasts read speeds of up to 1,050MB/s and offers storage capacities of up to 2TB, perfect for storing photos, videos, games, and more. It includes a USB-C to USB-A cable and an additional USB-A to USB-C adapter, ensuring compatibility across a wide range of devices, from PCs and Macs to tablets, game consoles, smart TVs, iPhones, and Android smartphones. Despite its small size—comparable to a key fob—the XS1000 is a dependable companion for seamless file backup and easy access to important documents and media files.
Earlier this year, Kingston’s XS1000 External SSD earned the prestigious 2024 Red Dot Award for Product Design. The Red Dot Design Award, established in 1955 and often referred to as “The Oscars of Design,” is one of the most esteemed design competitions in the world, with over 20,000 annual entries from around 60 countries. This recognition highlights the XS1000’s functional, aesthetic design and its high product quality.
“Following the success of our all-black XS1000, we’re excited to introduce a vibrant new color option for customers who want their devices to reflect their personal style,” said a Kingston spokesperson. “With the red XS1000, users have even more choices for external storage, all within an award-winning design framework.”
The XS1000 is available in 1TB and 2TB capacities and comes with a limited five-year warranty, including free technical support. For more details, visit kingston.com.
