Häufig gestellte Fragen
Dies ist bei Flashspeichern üblich, egal ob es sich um interne SSDs oder externe USB-Sticks handelt, und liegt zum Teil daran, dass die Hersteller von Flashspeichern im Vergleich zu Festplatten mit sich drehenden Platten unterschiedliche Berechnungsmethoden für Megabyte verwenden. Festplattenhersteller berechnen ein Megabyte (oder 1.000x1.000 Byte) als 1.000KB, während die binäre Berechnung für Flash-basierten Speicher 1.024KB beträgt.
Beispiel: Für ein Flash-basiertes 1TB-Speichergerät berechnet Windows eine Kapazität von 931,32GB. (1.000.000.000.000÷1.024÷1.024÷1.024=931,32GB).
Außerdem reserviert Kingston einen Teil der aufgelisteten Kapazität für die Formatierung und andere Funktionen wie Firmware und/oder controllerspezifische Informationen, wodurch ein Teil der aufgelisteten Kapazität nicht für die Datenspeicherung zur Verfügung steht.

If the drive is present in the BIOS, you may need to initialize the disk within the operating system. Follow the steps below to initialize.
For Windows:
Step 1: Confirm the drive is properly attached, and power on the system, then boot into Windows OS.
Step 2: Press Windows + X and choose Disk Management.
Step 3: If the SSD is new and not initialized, a popup will appear saying "Initialize Disk."
Step 4: Choose between: MBR (Master Boot Record): Suitable for drives under 2TB and older systems. GPT (GUID Partition Table): Recommended for modern systems and drives larger than 2TB.
Step 5: Click OK to initialize the disk.
Step 6: Once initialized, you'll see the SSD as "Unallocated." Right-click on it and select New Simple Volume.
Step 7: Follow the on-screen prompts (keeping all defaults is Okay) to format and assign a drive letter to the SSD.
For macOS:
Step 1: Confirm the drive is properly attached, and power on the system, then boot into Mac OS.
Step 2: Open Disk Utility (you can find it using Spotlight with Cmd + Space and then typing "Disk Utility").
Step 3: In the left pane, select your SSD.
Step 4: Click on Erase.
Step 5: Provide a name for the drive, and under Format, choose: APFS for newer Macs and SSDs. Mac OS Extended (Journaled) for older systems or HDDs.
Step 6: Click Erase. Once the process completes, the SSD will be ready for use.
For Linux:
Step 1: Confirm the drive is properly attached, and power on the system, then boot into Linux OS.
Step 2: Open a terminal.
Step 3: Enter sudo fdisk -l to list all connected drives. Identify your SSD by its size and note the device name, e.g., /dev/sdb.
Step 4: Initialize the SSD using fdisk or parted. Here's a basic guide using fdisk: Enter sudo fdisk /dev/sdb (replace /dev/sdb with your SSD's device name). Press g to create a new GPT partition table. Press n to create a new partition. Follow the prompts to specify the size and type. Press w to write the changes.
Step 5: Format the new partition on the SSD (e.g., /dev/sdb1). You can format it with the filesystem of your choice: For ext4: sudo mkfs.ext4, For ext3: sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb1, For FAT32: sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1
Step 6: Mount the SSD: Create a mount point: sudo mkdir /mnt/myssd, Mount the SSD: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/myssd, Remember to replace /dev/sdb1 with your SSD's partition name.

- AHCI stands for Advanced Host Controller Interface and is a technical standard that allows software to communicate with SATA devices. It offers features not available in older IDE modes.
- AHCI is important because it allows for increased SATA drive performance through Native Command Queueing (NCQ), reduced latency, and the ability to hot-swap drives connected to the SATA bus.
- To confirm that your SATA drive is running in AHCI mode, you need to enter your Computer’s BIOS (often Del, F2, F10, or F12), locate the SATA or Storage Configuration menu and confirm “AHCI” mode is enabled.
- If you have already installed your operating system, and your BIOS indicates that IDE mode is enabled, your SSD will still function, but may not be operating at peak performance.
- Kingston does not recommended changing from IDE to AHCI mode within the BIOS if your operating system is already installed, as this modification may cause the operating system not to boot.
