XS1000 doesn't work with the Kingston Acronis software - very frustrating
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are sorry to hear you are not satisfied with your product. Acronis only works with specific Kingston SSD's. If you have more questions you can contact our technical support department. https://www.kingston.com/en/support

I was concerned from some of the reviews I read, after ordering, that it may not have a USB C 3 connection, but it does. I got close to the rated speed when tested with Black Magic Speed test and a high speed USB C cable (“thunderbolt 4” - so confusing, I know). I never tested the speed with the included short cable. However, during the process of creating a new ~350GB Time Machine backup to it, it seemed to slow down, which certain types of SSD memory cells are known to do. (Not positive that it wasn’t T.M.’s fault though.) Took ~30+ minutes. 2nd backup was much shorter and didn’t slow down as a result.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had a Kingston Bolt, which became obsolete with updates to operating systems. I loved that little gadget and hoped that this product would be as good or better. Alas, I find it much harder to use, particularly because - unlike the Bolt - there is no App to use on my phone. I realize it has a LOT more storage capacity, but it is not as good for simply getting files off my phone and into my computers.

The Kingston 1 T SSD is compact, lightweight, easy to use and an excellent price.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this memory a lot since it is very practical and perfect for not having so much content on my phone or computer, it is perfect to take anywhere. I would definitely buy it blindfolded

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked this external drive. I loved that it is small with a lot of capacity. I can’t say much for the durability yet but so far it’s working great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is truly a great product! If you need extra storage without a hassle this is the product for you! Such a better alternative to a basic flash drive

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this for free from Influenster in exchange for my honest review! This is my first experience with a portable SSD and I have no complaints! It’s very travel friendly and can hold a lot of data (I received the 500gb option but I know there are 1-2TB as well!). Very user-friendly and a great product for the price point. I’d definitely recommend!
