I just got Xbox Game Pass and want to download some games, but I'm running low on space on my laptop. I found a product called the Kingston XS1000 Portable SSD (1TB, USB 3.2 Gen 2) and I'm wondering if it's a safe and reliable option for my needs.

USB SSDs are generally a good choice, but be cautious as some models can be overpriced. Kingston has a mixed reputation for quality in some of their entry-level products, so just keep that in mind!
It should work smoothly as USB 3.2 is fast enough for gaming. Just be mindful of cable management. If you’re up for it, consider upgrading the SSD inside your laptop for more permanent storage—there are plenty of guides online for swapping out SSDs if you're interested.
Yep, it should work just fine! I’ve got an old 1TB SSD in a USB-C enclosure that I use for extra storage with my laptop. The games do install a bit slower compared to an internal drive, but when you’re actually playing, there’s really no noticeable difference.
