Kingston Format Utility : Easily format your Kingston HyperX DTHX30/XXGB USB flash drive by simply selecting the connected device and the desired system type
Kingston Format Utility is an unassuming and small Windows piece of software that makes it as simple as possible for you to format Kingston HyperX series (DTHX30/XXGB) USB flash drives.
Simple utility purposefully built for the Kingston HyperX series
The app's main purpose stems from the fact that most Kingston USB drives (HyperX DTHX30/XX included) are pre-formatted to FAT32 for an enhanced all-around platform compatibility. Thus, re-formatting them using the default tools provided by Windows, Linux or macOS might result in a visable performance decrease.This brings us to the utility's second purpose, that of allowing you to restore the firmware on your Kingston HyperX storage devices in case it is no longer recognized by your computer.
Effortlessly format HyperX series devices to any file system format
Before going any further, it might serve as a useful reminder to backup any work or data you have on your Kingston flash drive before committing to the format procedure.Just make sure you insert your Kingston drive in one of your computer's USB ports and unzip the utility at the desired location. Start the utility using the designated executable file, select your device from the first drop-down menu, the desired file systems, click the "Format" button in the lower part of the main window, and you should be all set.
Format or restore Kingston HyperX series USB drives with the help of this official app
