FAQs
What is the read and write speed of this USB drive?
The drive has a read speed of up to 12 MB/s and a write speed of 3 MB/s.
Does this USB drive require any software to be installed?
No, this is a plug-and-play device, meaning it is ready to use immediately upon insertion into a USB port without needing any additional software.
What operating systems is this drive compatible with?
It is compatible with Windows Vista, 7, 8.1, and 10, Mac OS 9 and above, and Linux v2.4.0 and above.
Can I use this drive to store large video files?
While it can store video files, the USB 2.0 speeds mean that transferring very large files may take a significant amount of time compared to newer USB 3.0 drives.
What is the physical size of the drive?
The drive measures 70 mm in height, 23 mm in width, and 10 mm in depth, with a weight of 9 grams.
Is there a way to attach this drive to my keys?
The drive is compact and designed to be portable, but it does not explicitly feature a key ring attachment point. However, its form factor may allow for attachment with a small lanyard or keychain accessory.
What happens if I lose the cap?
If the cap is lost, the USB connector will be exposed, increasing the risk of dust and damage. It's recommended to keep the cap in a safe place when the drive is in use and to consider using a lanyard to keep the cap attached to the drive body.
Troubleshooting
Drive is not recognized by the computer
Try inserting the drive into a different USB port. Ensure the USB port is functional by testing it with another device. Restart your computer and try again.
Unable to transfer files or error messages during transfer
Ensure the drive is not full. Check the file size against the remaining capacity. If the drive is formatted with a file system that has size limitations (like FAT32 for files over 4GB), reformatting might be necessary (note: reformatting erases all data).
Slow read/write speeds
USB 2.0 has inherent speed limitations. For faster transfers, consider using a USB 3.0 or higher drive. Ensure no other demanding applications are running in the background that might be consuming system resources.
Data corruption or file errors
Safely eject the drive from your computer before removing it. Avoid interrupting transfers or removing the drive while data is being written. Run a disk check utility on your operating system.
