How can I format the drive?

On Windows, right-click 'This PC', select 'Manage', then 'Disk Management', right-click the drive and choose 'Format'. On macOS, use 'Disk Utility'. Choose exFAT for cross-platform use or NTFS/APFS for dedicated use.

What is the maximum data transfer speed?

The drive supports up to 1050 MB/s read and 1000 MB/s write when connected to a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port. Actual speeds may vary depending on the system configuration and file type.

Can I use the drive as a bootable external drive?

Yes, you can install an operating system on it and boot from it, provided your computer supports booting from USB. Use a tool like Windows Media Creation Tool or macOS Recovery to set it up.

How do I safely eject the drive?

Always use the 'Safely Remove Hardware' option on Windows or 'Eject' on macOS before unplugging. This prevents data corruption and ensures all writes are completed.

What should I do if the drive is not recognized?

Try a different USB port or cable. Ensure the drive is properly connected. If still not recognized, check Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS) to see if it appears there. You may need to initialize or assign a drive letter.

Is the drive compatible with Time Machine on macOS?
