7.1. About Storage Capacity Display

Storage devices like SSDs use a decimal calculation method (1GB = 1000MB), which differs from the binary calculation method used by computer operating systems (1GB = 1024MB). Additionally, system files and maintenance operations may occupy a portion of the capacity. Therefore, it is normal for the available capacity to be slightly less than the stated capacity on the product label. This is not a product quality issue.

7.2. Read/Write Speed Variations

The actual read/write speed of the product depends not only on the SSD's internal components but also on various environmental factors, including:

• Motherboard interface (e.g., USB 3.2 Gen2x2 for maximum speed)
• Jenis files being transferred (small files vs. large files)
• Other hardware configurations of the host device
• Software used for transfer

The speeds advertised by ORICO are based on internal laboratory tests. Actual performance may vary significantly depending on your host device, usage environment, and other factors. If you have concerns, please contact ORICO customer service.

7.3. Product Heating During Use

It is normal for the product to experience slight heating during use. When the SSD is powered on and actively transferring data (reading or writing), its electronic components generate heat. The amount of heat generated varies with the duration of use and the frequency of read/write operations. Environmental temperature can also affect the perceived heat. All ORICO products undergo strict quality inspection before leaving the factory. If the product becomes noticeably hot during prolonged and frequent read/write operations, it is recommended to pause use for a short period to allow it to cool down before resuming.
