QuestionCan this be used as a "boot drive" (with OS on it) and if so would it speed up boot times?
Asked 4 years ago by Papi.
- Answer I dont think Windows allows itself to be installed over USB in the first place. You would have to do more research on if thats possible honestly. With macOS, as long as the drive is formatted to the APFS file system, it should work fine with Big Sur

QuestionWhat is the exact mountable byte size of the 500GB model (sector*sector size)? I couldn't find it on the datasheet.
Asked 4 years ago by KB.
- Answer The device comes formatted to exFAT, 1KB sector size I believe. You can reformat the drive to FAT 32 or NTFS. If you re-format the drive you can also change the sector size. I used the default sector size when re-formatting the drive to NTFS. I found the exFAT format caused the drive to be really slow when coping 1.19 G Byte of data.

- Answer Hi, please be informed that all our storage devices including the SSD Drives are simple plug and play storage devices which you can connect to your Windows/ Mac computers using the USB Type-C/A ports. However, please note that we have not tested using them in a car stereo. In this case, we suggest you to contact the manufacturer of your car stereo in order to know more.
