The Crystal Disk Mark benchmark can be used to see if the claimed read and write speeds of the manufacturer are up to task. Higher capacity drives tend to perform quite well in these tests. This test will allow us to know if the claims of 1050MB/s read and 1000MB/s write for the Kingston XS1000 2TB are accurate.

The Kingston XS1000 did slightly better than the X9 Pro in some of Crystal Disk Mark 8.0 tests while slightly lagging behind the obvious USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 SSDs that are in a different performance class. The sequential read speeds were almost identical between the XS1000 and X9 Pro, coming at 994.87MB/s for the XS1000 and 995.43 MB/s for the X9 Pro. On the other hand, the XS1000 had the slight upper hand in the write speeds. The XS1000 scored 957MB/s for the Seq1M Q8T1 test, while the X9 Pro scored 940MB/s. The XS1000 did well in these benchmarks, slightly outperforming similar drives in its class.
