Displayed capacity is less than advertised (e.g., 1862GB for 2TB on Windows)This is due to algorithmic differences in how operating systems and manufacturers calculate storage capacity. 1GB is calculated as 1,024MB on Windows versus 1,000MB on SSDs. The full capacity is present.
SSD feels warm during useThis is normal, especially during heavy data transfers. The zinc alloy casing is designed to dissipate heat. If it becomes excessively hot, ensure proper ventilation. The drive has adaptive thermal balancing to protect itself.
Data corruption or lossAlways safely eject the SSD before disconnecting it. Avoid sudden power loss during transfers. If data loss occurs, specialized data recovery services may be required.
