The Front Desk Price of Record

No listed price at source

checked 2026-07-10 · at kingston.com · No USD price is supported by the re-fetched source or corroboration. The Kingston datasheet lists no pricing. CDW's only figure is an advertised $228.99 (regular $341.00) — an inflated reseller outlier, not a representative street price, and acknowledged as such in the prior note. The previously cited $65 1TB price came from PCWorld (Sep 5, 2023), which is NOT among the re-fetched source/corroboration URLs and therefore cannot be confirmed here; StorageReview's $65.83 is likewise from a non-fetched page. priceUsd nulled per the verbatim-only rule.

Source: kingston.com (verified 2026-07-10) · corroborated by cdw.com. Source = Kingston official datasheet (SXS1000_en.pdf), text extracted via pdftotext because fetch-clean returned the raw FlateDecode-compressed PDF. It states verbatim: Interface "USB 3.2 Gen 2"; Speed "Up to 1,050MB/s read, 1,000MB/s write"; NAND "3D"; Capacities "1TB, 2TB"; Dimensions "69.54 x 32.58 x 13.5mm"; Weight "28.7g"; Casing "Metal + plastic"; "Limited 5-year warranty"; Part Numbers including SXS1000/1000G (1TB) and SXS1000R/1000G (variant). No IP rating and no hardware encryption are listed. The datasheet is a 2025 revision (©2025, doc MKD-09082025) and states no release date. Corroboration = CDW product page (Mfg# SXS1000/1000G, 1 TB), which confirms the EXACT 1TB model: "SSD external (portable), 1 TB, USB 3.2 Gen 2 (USB-C connector), speeds of up to 1050 MB/s". Verified & kept: capacity_gb 1000 (1TB), read_mbps 1050, write_mbps 1000, interface "USB 3.2 Gen 2" (the "(10 Gbps)" qualifier is not verbatim on either fetched page, so trimmed), weight_g 29 (28.7g rounded). Nulled: encryption and ip_rating (unstated on both pages), release and releaseDate (no 2023 date on either fetched page — datasheet is 2025-dated), priceUsd (no supporting price in fetched text; CDW's $228.99 is an inflated outlier and $65 is from a non-fetched source). 5 of 8 specKeys survive (>half) and exact model SXS1000/1000G is confirmed → publish=true.
