  • TEAM SGG PATREON / somegadgetguy Kingston XS1000 Review! It's little, but it packs a ton of storage!
    If you're in the same boat I am (replacing some of those OTHER 1TB drives), then a little pocket drive like this might be right up your alley. Especially when this drive sells at a really attractive price!

    Not in the market for a new ssd just yet, but always want to stop by to give the very much deserved “like” and I always appreciate learning something new everyday when I can.
    Thanks brotherman! Keep up the amazing work.

    $65 for 1TB version is not a bad value. I do still want to see Kingston make a 1TB microSD card since SanDisk has it. But for now, this looks tempting as a secondary backup drive.

    Getting one of these 2tb drives will definitely help with storing games on my Xbox. I'm almost out of storage on my 1tb One X. This would cost much less time, effort and money than fully replacing the hdd in my console, so I'll definitely look into this Kingston drive.

    I'm planning to buy my first portable ssd to store my photos/videos. Is the kingston's SSDs better than the sandisk's? I heard that Sandisk's SSDs are quite prone to data loss so I'm not sure what to get for I only have limited budget and there are tons of draw backs about these known brands.

    I hope one day that ssds will have the longevity and life span of optical discs like blu ray discs but with the largest capacity of a hard drive that currently exist with read and write speeds that are even faster than the fastest current ssds money can buy. My end game ssd would be the fastest ssds with the fastest read and write speeds with the highest capacity with the longest life span money can buy that the ssds can rival the speeds of fiber optics internet that use fiber optic cables. It's why I prefer to buy every physical copies of every movie that I want in 4k otherwise I would settle for blu ray if 4k was never made for certain titles of movies since I would rather have 4k every single time over blu ray. The standard blu ray would be like upgrading from a 1080p TV to a 4k micro led tv or a blu ray would be the equivalent of 16 bit 44.1 khz wav cd quality and the 4k tv would be like the highest quality of 512 dsd hi res audio file with no mqa that is mixed and mastered properly during the mixing and mastering process. I consider blu ray like a standard 1080p tv or standard 16 bit cd quality because 1080p and cd quality are both standard quality but not the highest quality that I'm looking for and 4k like a hi res 512 dsd audio file no mqa.

      Btw, what's your take on the current situation of Android OS upgrades? Theres barely anything significant they've given since Android 10, other than themes or customisations with every iterations.
      Or you're an iOS nerd?

    • @SomeGadgetGuy
      @SomeGadgetGuy  Před 9 měsíci

      It's been frustrating?
      We've gotten some really nice practical benefits, things like core components being updated through Google Play and direct security patches instead of waiting for OTAs. It's cool in a really boring way, but that means new Android features can often be delivered back to MUCH older phones.
      The flip side, we've also seen Android lock a lot down, so while we get these incredibly powerful new chips, we often suffer performance hits because of things like scoped storage.
      Across the whole landscape, it's frustrating that the reputation of premium tier Android is basically in the toilet, and sales peaked back before the start of 5G roll outs (back when Androids were a LOT different than iPhones).
      Every year companies make Androids more like iPhones, it just reinforces to consumers why they should only buy iPhones.

    3:16 600-700 MB/s for a Windows on ARM tablet with Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 chipset is more than impressive. I can totally live with that.
    Having said that, I do think Kingston made this because of modern phones without microSD card slot. You have to be careful not to lose this thing, though.

      You need some capital letters in there so folks know what you're talking about. 1000Mbps is 125MB/s.
