Featuring a bold new look and Kingston’s iconic redhead mascot, Rex, the updated series reflects the company’s enduring commitment to performance, reliability, service, and innovation.

Under the banner of the new tagline “Built on Commitment,” the refreshed XS Series reaffirms Kingston’s nearly 40-year legacy of delivering high-performance, dependable storage solutions tailored to modern demands. Compact and powerful, the XS Series—comprising the XS2000, XS1000, and new XS1000R—caters to both professionals and everyday users with sleek, pocket-sized form factors.

At the top of the range, the XS2000 serves as Kingston’s professional-grade external SSD, offering read/write speeds of up to 2,000MB/s and capacities of up to 4TB.

These drives deliver read speeds of up to 1,050MB/s with storage capacities reaching 2TB, striking a balance between speed, portability, and value. They’re ideal for students, business travelers, and hybrid workers looking for versatile, lightweight storage solutions.
