Portable USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 SSD

The Kingston SXS1000 is a 2 TB external solid-state drive that connects via USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C. It uses 3D NAND flash to deliver sequential reads up to 1050 MBps and writes up to 1000 MBps. The drive measures 69.54 mm by 32.58 mm by 13.5 mm and weighs 28.9 g, making it a pocket-sized option for moving large files between devices.

Suits mobile creators and multi-OS users

This drive works with Windows 11 and 10, macOS 10.15 or later, Linux 4.4 or later, Chrome OS, Android and iOS or iPadOS 13 or later. The package includes a Type-C cable and a Type-A adapter for broad host compatibility. It does not suit buyers who need an internal drive, hardware encryption or a ruggedised enclosure rated for drops or water.

Deciding specification: USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C

The single factor that determines whether this is the right part is the host port. Full 1050 MBps performance requires a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20 Gbps) Type-C connection; on older 10 Gbps or 5 Gbps ports the drive will operate at the lower speed of that port.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 2 TB version or a smaller capacity?

The 2 TB model gives you the full 2000 GB in a drive that still weighs only 28.9 g and measures 69.54 × 32.58 × 13.5 mm, so you gain maximum space without sacrificing portability.

What does the 1050 MB/s read figure mean when I plug it into my laptop?

You can expect sequential reads up to 1050 MB/s and writes up to 1000 MB/s on any host that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2x2; on older USB 3.2 Gen 2 or USB 3.1 ports the drive will simply run at the port's lower ceiling.

The box says USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C — what does that actually limit in everyday use?

The Type-C connector with USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 caps the theoretical throughput at 20 Gbit/s, so the drive's 1050/1000 MB/s peaks are reachable only when the host controller and cable also support that generation.
