Q: ¿Por qué la capacidad de almacenamiento disponible de mi producto es ligeramente inferior a la capacidad anunciada?

<p>Esto es com&uacute;n para el almacenamiento flash, ya sea SSD interno o almacenamiento USB externo, y se debe en parte a una variaci&oacute;n 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 c&aacute;lculo binario para el almacenamiento basado en flash es de 1.024KBs. <br /> <br /><strong>Ejemplo :</strong> Para un dispositivo de almacenamiento flash de 1TB, Windows calcular&aacute; que tiene una capacidad de 931,32GB.

Question 1

Why don’t I see the advertised speeds for my DTMAX drive?

Accepted Answer

The transfer rate for DTMAX series is contingent on multiple factors. The USB port on the host device is one of the primary reasons performance of the USB drive will be limited. The interface needed for optimal performance is USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbs).

Please confirm that the host system meets the following criteria:

• The host machine has a Type-C or Type-A USB 3.2 Gen 2 port.
• If using an extension cable or USB hub, please make sure the cable or USB hub is rated for USB 3.2 Gen 2. Cables and hubs of low quality may be incapable of high-speed data transfer, please check the cable manufacturer’s specifications.
• The host machine has the latest updates, including BIOS, Chipset, and USB drivers.

Question 2

Will the DTMAX Type-C perform at the advertised speeds in a Thunderbolt/USB4 USB Type-C port?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Thunderbolt/USB4 is often limited to USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds (10Gbs) (see table below). Please check the specification of your host device.

Kingston -> Compatible Interface for Optimal Performance	Standard	Max USB Data Transfer Speed
	USB 2.0	480 Mbps
	USB 3.2 Gen 1	5 Gbps
DTMAX->	USB 3.2 Gen 2	10 Gbps
DTMAX->	USB 3.2 Gen 2x2	20 Gbps
DTMAX ->	USB4/Thunderbolt	10 Gbps, 20 Gbps, 40 Gbps (Depends on host specs)

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Where can I download drivers for my USB DataTraveler drive?

Accepted Answer

Our flash drives are plug-n-play devices. Therefore, additional drivers are not required.

Question 5

Why does my USB Flash Drive and/or USB Reader get hot/warm to the touch?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, it is normal for an external USB device to get warm or hot to the touch since the exterior shell helps cool the internal components by emitting heat into the air.

Some of the factors of a USB external device getting warm or hot:

Material: Metal flash drives and readers tend to get warmer while in use than other types of USB flash devices. This is simply because metal absorbs heat much more easily than materials like plastic do.
Environmental Temperature: If the host device or surrounding temperature is high, the drive's cooling capability decreases. USB drives often become warmer when used in hot environments or with warm devices.
File Transfers: Transferring large files or a high volume of files can raise the drive's temperature. Large files take longer to transfer, requiring more energy, thus generating more heat. Quick consecutive file transfers have the same effect as transferring large files, increasing the drive's temperature. During data transfer, the drive heats up internally and releases heat through its casing.

Note: None of the above listed factors impact the functionality of the USB device.

After the data transfer is complete, wait 30-60 seconds before removing the USB device from the host machine. This should provide enough time for the temperature of the USB device to cool.
