• Why is the actual available capacity on my Kingston storage device less than listed?

  Some of the listed capacity on a flash storage device is used for formatting, the file allocation table, and other internal functions (firmware). As a result, this space is not available for data storage. For example, a 1TB drive may show as approximately 931GB in Windows.

• How can I check the health of my Kingston SSD?

  You can use the Kingston SSD Manager application to monitor the health, status, and disk usage of your SSD. It provides a 'Percentage Used' indicator based on the drive's endurance and warranty limit.

• What is the warranty period for Kingston products?

  Warranty terms vary by product. Many SSDs and Flash drives come with a 5-year limited warranty, while some memory modules may carry a lifetime warranty. You can check the specific warranty status on the Kingston webதளம்.

• Are Kingston USB drives compatible with both Mac and Windows?

  Yes, most Kingston USB drives, such as the DataTraveler series, are cross-platform compatible and work with Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chrome OS without requiring additional drivers.

• Does the Kingston IronKey require software installation?

  Kingston IronKey encrypted drives usually have hardware-based encryption and may launch a built-in unlocker utility upon connection, but they generally do not require installing separate drivers on the host computer for basic operation.
