Troubleshooting

Q: Will the magnetic attraction function still work if I use a phone case?
A: If you use a phone case, it needs to have a magnetic attraction function itself to be compatible with the enclosure's magnetic feature.
Q: Why does the enclosure generate heat?
A: SSDs naturally generate heat when operating at high speeds for reading and writing data. The enclosure's design, utilizing aluminum alloy and other materials, is specifically engineered to effectively transfer this heat throughout its case, thereby quickly dissipating the high temperatures and maintaining optimal performance.
