5. Maintenance
5.1 Understanding Storage Capacity
Please note that the actual displayed capacity on your device may be slightly lower than the nominal capacity (e.g., 256GB). This is due to the difference in how storage manufacturers (1GB = 1,000MB) and operating systems (1GB = 1,024MB) calculate storage. This is a standard practice and does not indicate a defect in the product.

6. Troubleshooting
- Device Not Recognized: Ensure the flash drive is fully inserted into the correct port. For iOS devices, confirm the "EASYFLASH PRO" app is installed and running. For PCs, check your computer's device manager.
- Slow Transfer Speeds: Ensure you are using a USB 3.0 port for optimal speeds on compatible computers. Transfer speeds can vary based on file size and system resources.
- App Issues: If the app is not functioning correctly, try restarting the app or your device. Ensure the app is updated to the latest version.
- Data Corruption: Always safely eject the flash drive from your computer before removing it. Avoid disconnecting the drive during file transfers.
