Formatter Silicon Power

Formatter Silicon Power is a Windows application for formatting standard flash drives. Only Silicon Power devices based on PS2251-03 controller are fully supported. This utility is portable, no installation on PC is required. The interface is in Russian.

Preparation

It is necessary to connect the required drive to a free USB port beforehand. Then run the main file of the application. After launching the utility will automatically scan all available drives. The user will only have to confirm the choice and agree with the warning about the complete deletion of all data. Therefore, it is recommended that before formatting, once again check the contents of the disk for important data and, if necessary, make a copy.

Formatting

To start the formatting process, press the "Format" button and wait for a notification that the process is complete. It is highly recommended that you do not remove the drive from the connector during the cleanup phase as this may cause the device to become inoperable. The time of the formatting process depends on the total volume of the drive. Please note that this is a low-level formatting process. Data is overwritten at the level of individual cells, so it will be impossible to recover files using special software (unlike fast formatting). In some situations this can be useful, for example, if the device is given to other people and a guarantee is needed that personal data will not be recovered. This is unlikely, but technically possible.
