Its great if you are not using it for continuously long times. It overheats and slows down.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Small, lightweight drive for portable storage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very happy with the external ssd both for portable storage and as a backup device. I typically keep it connected to my desktop for automatic backups. Its small size means it takes up very little space on my desk. When I need to bring files with me, I put on the rubber protective cover (the inclusion of which is a very nice touch) and put it in my laptop bag. It is so much smaller and lighter than my old external hard drive that it is much more convenient for traveling. In fact, it is small enough that I could even keep it in my pocket. File transfers are quick when attached to the USB 3.0 ports on my computer (although it also supports USB 3.2).
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Kingston XS2000 more than meets my needs. With 500gb it holds all storage for my creative art, and game files. It is a fast, reliable solid state drive with great transfer speed. Especially convenient during travel. Made of plastic and metal, it is lightweight, and easy to move about. The size is perfect. It easily fits in your bag without taking up room. This comes with a 12” usb-c to usb-c cable, and a stretchy rubber protection sleeve that is removable. The sleeve slips on/off easily, and provides protection from big dust particles, wind, rain, dirt etc. This little, convenient SSD performs well.

So far very happy with the purchase. The best about this drive is size. However, my laptop is not showing 36mb/sec speed during data transfer. I will try again and see if it's really fast. Only giving 4 Star due to limited speed, as I was expecting at least 1000ms/sec. :)

Great size, capacity and initial speed. Slows drastically when writing numerous, large files. Gets quite warm when transferring large amounts of files .
