Kingston highlights storage lineup for World Tourism Day creators
World Tourism Day puts the focus on destinations and experiences around the globe, and Malaysia continues to serve as a rich backdrop for visual storytellers, from historic city lanes and centuries-old architecture to coastlines, forests, and busy urban centers. But as photographers, filmmakers, and travelling creators capture these stories through high-resolution RAW photography, 4K and 8K video, drone footage, and mobile-first content, storage has become a bigger part of the creative process, with files needing to be captured, transferred, edited, and backed up quickly, often while working away from a traditional studio setup.
Kingston is using the occasion to spotlight its lineup of internal, external, and portable storage built for these demanding workflows.
For creators working with large-format content, Kingston points to its high-performance internal drives as a way to cut down on delays during transfers, editing, and rendering. The FURY Renegade G5 PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD, available up to 8TB, delivers read speeds up to 14,800MB/s and write speeds up to 14,000MB/s with over 2 million IOPS, giving creators room for large libraries and demanding 8K workflows. The KC3000 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD offers speeds up to 7,000MB/s in a compact M.2 design with a low-profile graphene aluminium heat spreader, suited to video editing, rendering, and animation work.
For creators who need to back up footage away from the studio, portability becomes just as important as speed. The XS2000 External SSD combines a compact design with USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 performance up to 2,000MB/s, protected by a rubber sleeve and an IP55 rating, and supports direct Apple ProRes recording on compatible devices, making it suited to creators working across varied environments. The XS1000 External SSD is small enough to fit in a pocket or camera bag, offering speeds up to 1,050MB/s with broad compatibility across PCs, tablets, and smartphones for quick backups and footage transfers on the go.
The Dual Portable SSD rounds out the range with both USB Type-A and USB Type-C connectors, delivering USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds up to 1,050MB/s for moving files across laptops, desktops, and mobile devices without needing extra adapters.
