Temperature: Avoid exposing the drive to extremely high or low temperatures.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1 Discrepancy in Displayed Capacity

It is common for the displayed capacity of flash memory products to be slightly less than the nominal capacity. This is due to the difference in how flash memory vendors and operating systems calculate storage:

Vendors: Use decimal arithmetic (1MB = 1000KB, 1GB = 1000MB).
Operating Systems: Use binary arithmetic (1MB = 1024KB, 1GB = 1024MB).

This difference results in a slight variation. For example:

8GB = approximately 6.9GB-7.3GB
16GB = approximately 14GB-15GB
32GB = approximately 28GB-30GB
64GB = approximately 59GB-62GB

This is a normal phenomenon and does not indicate a defect in the product.

7.2 Phone Not Recognizing Drive

If your phone or tablet does not recognize the flash drive when connected via the Type-C interface, please ensure that your device supports OTG (On-The-Go) functionality and is running Android 4.4 or a newer version of the operating system.

8. User Tips

For optimal performance, always use the USB 3.0 interface when connecting to compatible computer ports.
Keep the protective covers on the connectors when not in use to prevent dust and damage.
Regularly back up important data stored on the flash drive to another location.
