First Impression of Kingston XS1000 was not good , as i made some mistakes and i nearly returned it may regret later afterwards !What i did was that i connected the ssd to my computer with its original PD C to C cable and , the speeds were 40mbps , 4% of actual speeds , images of speed tests are uploaded to my review ! Then i went furious and called amazon CS and returned it , in the meantime when the Customer support guy made me on hold i researched a bit and found out macbook OEM charging cable is not designed for fast data transfers , and then tried the gear that was provided in the box , USB to Type c cable and and a USB to Type C convertor dongle , and when i plugged that did the speed tests . It was insane , im getting promised speeds and data transfer speeds also remain fast as well ! So i did order a Thunderbolt 4 cable but it didnt arrive yet , as of writing this review , so what i hyave learnt that either if you are planning to buy this SSD , spend some money to get a fas data transfer cable for your workflow or use the cable provided in box !Q :- What i got in box ?SSD , Type A / USB to Type C cable , USB to Type C convertorQ :- Build Quality of the SSD ?SSD is build of 3 seperate parts , 2 are metal plates that are up and bottom one and centre part is made of plastic but good quality plastic , its lightweight and Sturdy in terms of build !Q:- Data Transfers and Speeds ?Brand promises speeds of around 1000mbps for both read and write and their claims are strong asit did perform wellQ :- Does it heat ?Yes , It did get warm on such occasions but i’ll not it heat up a lot , mild warm but not much of issue , let’s see how it holds up in long runQ :- Is it worth it ?Remember i’ve spend around 12k on this 2TB XS1000 Variant and i’m getting 5 Years of warranty , so is it worth ? Hell Yeah !!!Overall Review and Conclusion :-See Kinston as a brand which was kinda new to me , and i’ve bought this Storage expansion drive on basis of reviews and it’s price because first of all i was looking for a SSD that is reliable and my data should be safe in it ! And i was looking at Samsung T7 and T9 , one costs around 11k and 14k simultaniously , and that too for 1TB variants and mac doesnt supports 2000mbps speeds with 3x2gen2 ports , and also they were providing only 3 Years of warranty , same as the case with Crucial , Sandisk and WD , thats why with the budget in mind i shortlisted two brands :- EVM elite ssd and Kingston SSD XS1000 , and i glad i chose Kinsgton , its :--Lightweight-Comes iwth All neccesory cables and adptors- has a sturdy build- Value for money- Reliable SpeedsI have attached all the photos related to this products , size comparisons , data transfres speeds , and other elements !

Value for money, quality, capacity, looks

Small, compatible, sturdy and fast. This ssd is value for money and will give a write speed of about 400 MBps when connected to ps5.Got a c to a cable in the box and a a to c converter which is very thoughtful.I transferred 322 GB worth of Ps5 games, write speeds are about 450 MBps for first 200 GBs and then about 150 MBps from 200 to 320 GB. These speeds are significantly better than crucial ssd speeds for the same amount of data.

It's a tiny device, doesn't look that attractive, yet does the job, quite well.Some caveats - I tested the device with a Mac using a Thunderbolt port, and also with the supplied high-speed USB-C. Both gave similar results. The same as claimed.Now to get that speed, you need a USB 3.2 Gen2 Cable (possibly C to C). I tried with other USB cables lying around, and it performed miserably.So people complaining about slow speed, check your hardware first. And an old computer with just a USB3 port won't give high speed.
