Question 4

&#191;Puede esta unidad USB Flash segura formatearse para funcionar como una unidad USB est&#225;ndar o deshabilitarse la seguridad de manera que no se requiera usar ninguna contrase&#241;a?

Accepted Answer

Esta unidad ha sido diseñada para estar totalmente cifrada. Su seguridad va incorporada en la unidad y no puede eliminarse o deshabilitarse.

Question 5

&#191;Por qu&#233; la capacidad de almacenamiento disponible de mi producto es ligeramente inferior a la anunciada?

Accepted Answer

Esto suele suceder en el almacenamiento flash, ya sea un disco SSD interno o un almacenamiento USB externo, y se debe en parte a una variación en la forma de calcular el megabyte entre los fabricantes de memorias flash y los de discos duros de disco giratorio. Los fabricantes de discos duros calculan un megabyte (o 1000 × 1000bytes) como 1000KB, mientras que el cálculo binario para el almacenamiento flash es de 1024KB.

Por ejemplo: En el caso de un dispositivo de almacenamiento flash de 1TB, Windows calculará que tiene una capacidad de 931,32GB. (1 000 000 000 000÷ 1024÷ 1024÷ 1024=931,32GB).

Además, Kingston reserva parte de la capacidad indicada para el formateo y otras funciones como el firmware o la información específica del controlador y, por tanto, esa capacidad no está disponible para el almacenamiento de datos.

Question 6

If I forgot my password or the drive no longer accepts my password. Can the data on the drive be recovered?

Accepted Answer

By default, after the predefined max number of unsuccessful password attempts is reached, the drive will format and all data will be lost. Once the format is complete, data recovery is not possible. However, if you have not exhausted the max number of unsuccessful password attempts, you may consider contacting a professional data recovery company for assistance, such as DriveSavers Inc.
Please note: Kingston does not retain master passwords for encrypted USB drives.
