Footnotes:
- Based on internal testing. Speed may vary due to host hardware, software and usage. USB 3.2 Gen 2 host device required for optimal speeds.
- Some of the listed capacity on a Flash storage device is used for formatting and other functions and thus is not available for data storage. As such, the actual available capacity for data storage is less than what is listed on the products. For more information, go to Kingston's Flash Memory Guide.
- USB Type-C® and USB-C® are registered trademarks of USB Implementers Forum. USB Type-C to Type-C cable not included.
- As of August 2024, all XS1000 (black) SSDs will include a Type-A to Type-C adapter in addition to the included cable. The XS1000R will include both items.
- Limited warranty based on 5 years or "SSD Life Remaining" which can be found using the Kingston SSD Manager (Kingston.com/SSDManager). A new, unused product will show a wear indicator value of one hundred (100), whereas a product that has reached its endurance limit of program erase cycles will show a wear indicator value of one (1). See Kingston.com/wa for details.
- Compatibility with Windows, macOS, Linux, Chrome OS, iOS/iPadOS and Android devices may vary and is largely dependent on the host software/hardware (please see your host manufacturer's support site for capabilities). For Android/iOS/iPadOS devices, an additional OTG cable (not supplied by Kingston) may be required.
