The drive is also very reliable and durable, it is built with high-quality components and it is resistant to shock and vibration. This is great for people who travel frequently with their laptops, or for those who use their computers in harsh environments.
The storage capacity of 1TB is more than enough for most users, it offers a lot of space for all your files, pictures, videos and applications. The drive also comes with a 3-year warranty and free technical support, which gives me peace of mind knowing that my data is safe and that I can get help if needed.
In summary, the Kingston XS2000 1TB SSD drive is a top-notch product, it is incredibly fast, small and reliable. It is a great investment for anyone looking to upgrade their computer's performance and storage capacity. I highly recommend it.
Speed is close to a Samsung SSD T7 but it is smaller.
Soon after, my system occasionally began to hang, and I was unable to open a few files on the drive. I chalked it up to the need to restart or clear Mac OS's memory a bit, and this appeared to temporarily work.
Over the next day, though, the drive began to disconnect itself during use. I ran Apple Disk Utility, which found no errors. APFS is not repair software-friendly yet, but there were no other indications that the drive was at fault, so I began to copy files to another disk for testing, and they did not appear corrupted. Then it would not stay mounted for more than 2 minutes and would disconnect, even when sitting idle. It was clear drive failure.
I contacted Kingston and received friendly replies, but no real solutions. So now I'm left with an inability to recover a batch of files that had not yet had a chance to be backed up, and I will be required to ship the faulty drive back to receive a replacement... which I'm not sure I will trust. It appears to be a large waste of money in my experience, unfortunately.

Ele tem um corpo em aço escovado, dando mais segurança para o uso no dia a dia.
O único ponto não positivo é que o cabo que acompanha o SSD é tipo-c para USB, poderia ser um cabo tipo-c para tipo-c, né? No mais, sem críticas.

Dá até pra colocar os jogos nele, roda sem queda de fps.
