Using the Correct File System

The IronKey VP50 comes preformatted with the FAT32 file system. It will work on Windows and macOS systems.
However, there could be some other options that could be used to format the drive with manually, such as NTFS for
Windows and exFAT. You can reformat the data partition if needed but data is lost when the drive is reformatted.

•
Eject the drive before unplugging it
•
Never unplug the device when the LED is lit. This may damage the drive and require a reformat, which will erase
