Questions about this item

What type of USB port does my computer need for the DTXON/256GB to function?

The drive uses a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A connector, so the host must provide a standard rectangular Type A port; any USB 2.0 or 3.x Type A socket will work.

Will the DTXON/256GB slow down if I plug it into an older USB 2.0 port?

Yes, the 23000 read speed figure applies to USB 3.2 Gen 1; on a USB 2.0 port the transfer rate will drop to that interface's maximum.

How can I verify the DTXON/256GB is delivering its rated performance after setup?

Copy a large file to the drive and check the transfer speed in your OS; sustained reads near 23000 indicate the USB 3.2 Gen 1 link is active.
