The Mobilelite Wireless G3 and Pro use a different app than the MLW221 and MLWG2. The New app is called "Mobilelite Wireless". The older app is called "Kingston Mobilelite". Be aware that the new app will not work on the MLW221 and MLWG2. You still need to use the older app for those. But the old app will work on the MLWG3.
Please note: The Mobilelite Wireless app is obsolete and therefore no longer available for download.

This is common for flash storage, whether internal SSD, Flash Card, or external USB storage, and is due in part to a variance in how flash memory vs spinning platter hard drive manufacturers calculate megabyte. Hard drive manufacturers calculate a megabyte (or 1,000x1,000 bytes) as 1,000KBs, whereas the binary calculation for flash-based storage is 1,024KBs.
Example: For a 1TB flash-based storage device, Windows will calculate it as having a capacity of 931.32GB. (1,000,000,000,000÷1,024÷1,024÷1,024=931.32GB).
Furthermore, Kingston reserves some of the listed capacity for formatting (e.g., File Allocation Table) and other functions such as firmware and/or controller-specific information, and thus some of the listed capacity is not available for data storage.
