Operating Instructions
Transferring Files:
- Access the Drive: Open "File Explorer" (Windows) or "Finder" (macOS) and locate the Verbatim USB drive.

Safely Removing the Drive:
To prevent data corruption, always safely eject the USB drive before physically removing it.

- macOS: Drag the USB drive icon from the desktop or Finder sidebar to the Trash icon, or right-click the drive icon and select "Eject".
Important: Do not remove the USB drive while data transfer is in progress or if the drive's activity indicator (if present) is blinking, as this can lead to data loss or drive damage.

Troubleshooting
Drive Not Detected:
- Ensure the drive is fully inserted into the USB port.
- Try a different USB port on your device.
- Test the drive on another computer or compatible device to rule out a device-specific issue.
- Restart your computer and try again.
Slow Transfer Speeds:
- Ensure you are using a USB 2.0 compatible port for optimal performance (this drive is USB 2.0).
- Close any unnecessary applications running in the background.
- Defragment your computer's hard drive (if applicable) and the USB drive (if it's not an SSD).
Cannot Write/Delete Files:
- Check if the drive is full. Delete unnecessary files to free up space.
- Verify that the files or folders are not read-only.
- If using password protection software, ensure you are logged in or have unlocked the secure area.
- The drive might be formatted with a file system that has size limitations for individual files (e.g., FAT32 has a 4GB file size limit). Consider reformatting to NTFS (Windows) or exFAT for larger files, but be aware this will erase all data on the drive.
