Esto es común para el almacenamiento flash, ya sea SSD interno o 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 plato giratorio. Los fabricantes de discos duros calculan un megabyte (o 1.000x1.000 bytes) como 1.000KBs, mientras que el cálculo binario para el almacenamiento basado en flash es de 1.024KBs.

Ejemplo : Para un dispositivo de almacenamiento flash de 1TB, Windows calculará que tiene una capacidad de 931,32GB. (1,000,000,000,000÷1,024÷1,024÷1,024=931.32GB).

Además, Kingston se reserva parte de la capacidad mencionada para formatear y otras funciones, como el firmware y/o la información específica del controlador, por lo tanto, parte de la capacidad mencionada no está disponible para el almacenamiento de datos.

Para determinar qué controlador NVMe está en uso, puede ejecutar la herramienta de referencia AS SSD y seleccionar su SSD Kingston NVMe del menú desplegable. Esto informará del conductor que se está utilizando para este dispositivo. Si el controlador es "iaStorAC", entonces su dispositivo está utilizando el controlador Intel. Si el controlador es "stornvme", entonces su dispositivo está utilizando el controlador de Microsoft. Por favor, tenga en cuenta que: Las unidades SSD Kingston NVMe son plug and play y, por lo tanto, no proporcionamos controladores adicionales.

The easiest way to ensure that your new SSD appears as your boot drive is to ensure that it is the only storage device connected during installation. 
If this is not possible, or if you previously cloned your old data to your new drive, confirm that the new drive appears as a boot device in the system BIOS, then select it for booting.

There are various reasons a new drive might not accept an OS installation. Use these steps to help troubleshoot your install:

-Confirm that the system BIOS recognizes your new SSD and if not, visit the motherboard / system manufacturer’s website to see if there is a new BIOS available.
-Verify your BIOS settings are configured to accept a new NVMe SSD.
-Confirm that your target operating system supports NVMe SSDs (e.g., Windows 8 or later)

Note: Kingston SSDs do not require additional drivers to operate.

First, you should confirm that the SSD is seen within the system BIOS. Enter your BIOS (usually, Del, F2, F10, or F12 key) and navigate through your storage configuration menu(s) to see if the drive is correctly identified and present. If the drive isn’t present, power off the system, check the installation and connections to confirm the drive is seated and/or connected properly. 

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.

M.2 es el factor de forma física. SATA y PCIe se refieren a la interfaz de almacenamiento; la principal diferencia es el rendimiento y el protocolo (lenguaje) que habla el SSD M.2.

La especificación M.2 ha sido diseñada para dar cabida a la vez a interfaces PCIe y SATA para SSDs. Los SSDs SATA M.2 utilizarán el mismo controlador que se encuentra actualmente en un SSD SATA típica de 2.5 ". Los SSDs M.2 PCIe utilizarán un controlador diseñado específicamente para ser compatible con el protocolo PCIe. Un SSD M.2 sólo puede admitir un protocolo, pero algunos sistemas tienen ranuras M.2 que pueden prestar soporte tanto a SATA como a PCIe.
