Kingston Digital, Inc., the flash memory subsidiary of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., a world leader in memory products and technology solutions, today announced the addition of the new XS1000 Red External SSD, a small and incredibly stylish file backup solution. The Red XS1000 joins the original all-black XS1000 and silver XS2000, expanding Kingston’s line of external SSD products. These external drives are extremely compact, weighing less than 29 grams for pocket-sized portability.
Kingston’s XS1000 family delivers read speeds of up to 1050MB/s and large capacities of up to 2TB, providing ample space to store countless photos, videos, games, and files. 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 older devices. Small as a keychain, the XS1000 serves as a reliable companion for easy file backup, ensuring continued access to your important documents, treasured memories, and media files. Earlier this year, Kingston’s XS1000 external SSD was named the winner of the 2024 Red Dot Award: Product Design. Established in 1955, the Red Dot Design Award is one of the world’s largest and most prestigious design competitions, receiving more than 20,000 submissions annually from approximately 60 countries around the world.
“Building on the success of the all-black XS1000, we’ve introduced a new colorway for customers looking to stand out and express themselves through color,” said Keith Schimmenti, SSD business manager at Kingston. “With the addition of the XS1000 in red, they now have more external storage options with an award-winning design.”
