Product Information

Full details

Its classic design, featuring a vibrant yellow finish and a user-friendly anti-slip cap, provides both aesthetic appeal and practical functionality for daily use. While it is perfect for everyday portability and file transfers, users should note that its USB 2.0 interface and 5 MB/s write speed are optimized for smaller files rather than high-performance tasks or large data backups.

FAQs

Does this drive require any software to work?

No, it is a Plug and Play device and works automatically with most major operating systems.

Can I attach this to my keychain?

Yes, it includes a perforation specifically designed for attaching a lanyard or keyring.

What happens if I lose the cap?

The drive will still function perfectly, though the cap is intended to protect the USB connector from dust when not in use.

Is this drive compatible with smart TVs?

Most smart TVs with USB Type-A ports will recognize this drive if it is formatted to FAT32 or exFAT, though compatibility depends on the specific TV model.

What is the maximum read speed?

The GoodRam UME2 offers read speeds of up to 20 MB/s.

Troubleshooting

Computer does not recognize the drive

Ensure the drive is inserted fully into the USB port. Try connecting it to a different USB port on the machine to rule out a faulty port.

Files are corrupted or won't open

Always use the 'Safely Remove' feature before disconnecting. If corruption persists, try reformatting the drive (Note: this deletes all data).

Slow transfer speeds

Check if you are plugging the drive into a USB 2.0 port. While it works in 3.0 ports, performance remains capped by the USB 2.0 interface limitations.
