The included ruggedized sleeve provides shock resistance up to 1.8 metres, protecting your valuable data from drops and impacts.

Cross-Platform Compatibility Out of the Box

The XS2000 works seamlessly across Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems without requiring additional drivers. It’s also compatible with the latest iOS and Android devices via USB-C, making it perfect for freeing up smartphone storage or transferring files between devices.
