KIOXIA EXCERIA PLUS G2 2TB Portable SSD
The KIOXIA EXCERIA PLUS G2 2TB is exactly the type of portable storage product I think works well on ITsCool.ie. It’s tiny, extremely light and genuinely fast — ideal for carrying a large photo, video, gaming or work library without carrying a bulky external drive.
KIOXIA has managed to fit 2TB of storage into a drive measuring only 72 × 40 × 11.8mm and weighing just 42g, so this really can disappear into a pocket or laptop bag.

More Than Just Laptop Storage
This is particularly versatile because KIOXIA lists support for Windows PCs, Macs, USB-C iPhones, iPads, Android devices, PS4/PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, subject to device compatibility. That makes it useful for moving large video files from a phone, carrying a work library between computers, or adding portable storage to a gaming setup.
Why We Think It’s Cool
The size-to-storage ratio is the standout feature. You get 2TB and speeds around 1GB per second from something weighing only 42g. For photographers, content creators, students or anyone travelling with a laptop, it's a much more practical alternative to carrying a conventional external hard drive.
ITsCool Verdict
Small enough to forget you're carrying it, fast enough to actually use every day. The combination of 2TB capacity, USB-C, 1,050MB/s performance and a shock-resistant body makes the EXCERIA PLUS G2 a very strong premium portable SSD for ITsCool.ie.
