NV2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD - Hỗ trợ

Để xác định trình điều khiển NVMe đang sử dụng, bạn có thể chạy công cụ AS SSD Benchmark và lựa chọn ổ SSD NVMe Kingston từ trình đơn thả xuống. Lúc này, thông tin trình điều khiển đang được sử dụng cho ổ đó sẽ được hiển thị. Nếu là "iaStorAC", thì bạn đang sử dụng trình điều khiển của Intel. Nếu là "stornvme", thì bạn đang sử dụng trình điều khiển của Microsoft. Xin lưu ý: Ổ SSD NVMe Kingston là ổ cắm là chạy và do đó chúng tôi không cung cấp ổ bổ sung.

FAQ: KSD-012010-001-01

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.

FAQ: KSD-012010-001-03

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.

FAQ: KSD-012010-001-05

Windows 7 doesn’t natively support NVMe SSDs. If you wish to install Windows 7 on your NVMe SSD, please refer to this Microsoft hotfix explanation:

FAQ: KSD-012010-001-06

No, Kingston NVMe SSDs do not require a special NVMe driver. The inbox drivers present in Windows 8 and later are sufficient.

FAQ: KSD-012010-001-07

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 là kích cỡ vật lý. SATA và PCIe là các giao tiếp lưu trữ, sự khác nhau chủ yếu là hiệu năng và giao thức (ngôn ngữ) được SSD M.2 sử dụng.

Chuẩn M.2 được thiết kế để phù hợp với cả giao tiếp SATA và PCIe cho SSD. SSD M.2 SATA sẽ sử dụng bộ điều khiển giống như trên các SSD 2.5 inch SATA hiện tại. SSD M.2 PCIe sẽ sử dụng bộ điều khiển được thiết kế đặc biệt để hỗ trợ giao thức PCIe. SSD M.2 chỉ hỗ trợ một giao thức nhưng một số hệ thống có các socket M.2 có thể hỗ trợ cả SATA và PCIe.
