They say that “to remember is to live again,” but what happens if, when opening that beautiful memory—such as an important photo or video—you discover that the file doesn’t exist because the information was deleted or overwritten due to lack of space on your phone?
This is a tragedy that many people experience because they didn’t make a backup, something very basic nowadays if we consider that, just on the internet, we generate around 2.5 exabytes (2.5 x 10^18 bytes) of data every day. This is approximately 250 trillion bytes.[1]
Despite the speed at which we generate information, at least 21% of people still don’t make a backup[2], perhaps because they think it’s not very important or because they believe, “that will never happen to me.”
SDD, a solid option to store our memories in high definition.
It’s a fact that today it’s essential to have an option to store our information, and to be certain that when we look for it, years later, it will be there, intact and protected, even after time has passed.
For 37 years, Kingston has developed storage devices of the highest quality and reliability, and today it offers a wide range where capacity, speed, and security combine to ensure our files are properly backed up—especially considering that, over time, our information has not only increased in quantity but also in size. An example is photos and videos: the higher the resolution, the more space they take up, and for that reason, we need storage devices capable of holding that amount of data.
Until a few years ago, the only option was hard drives (HDD), but nowadays these devices have been surpassed due to their fragility and the speed at which we need to access or play back data. Today, it’s recommended to use Solid State Drives (SSD), which, due to their resistance, capacity, and read/write speed, are the best option for making a backup. In this context, Kingston offers the best storage technology: the XS1000. This is an external SSD solution ideal for file backup, highly efficient thanks to its read speeds of up to 1,050 MB/s and large storage capacities of up to 2 TB.
External SSDs give you the space you need and the backup for your information
XS1000 for personal file backup
Did you run out of space on your phone? Are your apps not running as fast as before? Or worse, do you have a presentation at university tomorrow, but your device has no space left because it’s loaded with all the programs you need for your future profession? The XS1000 external SSD lets you carry your files, videos, and high-definition photos and play them without issue thanks to its robust structure, efficiently stored in a compact space that weighs no more than 29 grams.
XS2000 for gamers, designers, and content creators
Are you a gamer? Today, many consoles are amazing and offer immersive experiences. In these cases, we also need an efficient device to back up our games or download new ones without having to delete those already installed on the console.
For these cases, Kingston offers its XS2000 SSD storage device, with high-speed storage options that allow you to instantly download and edit high-resolution images and videos up to 8K. And all thanks to up to 4TB of portable capacity and a smartly designed structure that is water and dust resistant, without limiting its read and write speeds of up to 2000 MB/s, so you can be sure you have enough storage for your console.
Because of these same features, the XS2000 is also an ideal backup option for content creators, video editors, musicians, and designers whose editing programs also tend to require high storage capacities to save a project and fast transfer speeds to work efficiently, without bottlenecks.
The truth is, there are many factors that can put our information at risk, from a simple power outage to a virus or ransomware attack. In these scenarios, the best way to protect ourselves is always to have a backup of our valuable information.
