Will it hit 2000MB/s on my laptop?

Only if your laptop has a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port. On USB 3.2 Gen 1 or Gen 2 ports it runs at those lower speeds.

Does it work with a PS5 or Xbox?

It connects through USB, and the included adapter covers USB-A consoles. Check that your console accepts external USB storage for games.

What comes in the box?

The drive, a USB-C cable and a USB-C to USB-A adapter.

Is it good for video editing?

Yes for moving and storing 4K footage. For editing directly off the drive, a Gen 2x2 port gives the best throughput.

Is my data encrypted?

No hardware encryption is stated. Use your computer's software encryption if you need it.

How does it compare with a portable hard drive?

It is much faster and smaller than a spinning portable drive, but costs more per gigabyte at 512GB.

Our take on the KOOTION 512GB External SSD

The Kootion 512GB External SSD is a pocket-sized USB-C drive rated for up to 2000MB/s over USB 3.2 Gen 2x2. It ships with a USB-C cable and a USB-C to USB-A adapter, so it works with USB-C phones, tablets, MacBooks and USB-A computers and consoles. The keyring hole and small body make it easy to carry. The 2000MB/s figure needs a Gen 2x2 host port; on ordinary USB 3.2 Gen 1 or Gen 2 ports it runs far slower, which is where cheaper rivals also land. Buyers rate it well, though the sample of ratings is small.
