對於快閃儲存裝置來說這很常見，無論是內接式 SSD 固態硬碟還是外接式 USB 儲存裝置，部分原因是快閃記憶體與傳統旋轉碟片的硬碟製造商在計算百萬位元組的方式上存在差異。硬碟機製造商將百萬位元組 (或 1,000x1,000 位元組) 計算為 1,000KB，而快閃記憶體儲存裝置的二進位計算結果為 1,024KB。
範例：對於 1TB 快閃記憶體儲存裝置來說，Windows 會將其容量計算為 931.32GB。(1,000,000,000,000÷1,024÷1,024÷1,024=931.32GB)。
此外，Kingston 有保留一些儲存容量，作為格式化和其他功能之用，例如韌體和/或控制器特定資訊，因此所宣稱的部分儲存容量不可作為資料儲存之用。

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.

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.
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.

M.2 是指實體的外觀尺寸。SATA 和 PCIe 則是指儲存裝置介面，主要的差異在於 M.2 固態硬碟的效能和採用通訊協定 (語言)。
M.2 規格是為了能適用固態硬碟的 SATA 和 PCIe 介面所設計的。M.2 SATA 固態硬碟將會使用目前於典型 2.5 吋 SATA 固態硬碟上的同一種控制器。M.2 PCIe 固態硬碟會使用特別為支援 PCIe 通訊協定所設定的控制器。一個 M.2 固態硬碟只能支援一種通訊協定，但是某些系統的 M.2 插槽只支援 SATA 或 PCIe 的其中一種。
