• USB-A Devices: For traditional computers, laptops, and other devices with standard USB-A ports, extend the USB-A 3.1 connector and plug it into the device's USB-A port.

Data Transfer:

Once the drive is recognized by your device, you can transfer files using standard operating system functions:

• Drag and Drop: Open the source folder and the USB drive folder side-by-side. Click and drag files or folders from the source to the USB drive.

The drive supports continuous read speeds of up to 170 MB/s and continuous write speeds of up to 40 MB/s, facilitating efficient data transfer.

5. Maintenance

• Safe Removal: Always safely eject the USB drive from your operating system before physically removing it. This prevents data corruption.
• Physical Protection: Keep the drive away from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and moisture. Use the swivel cap to protect the connectors when not in use.
• Cleaning: If necessary, gently wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the drive in a clean, dry environment when not in use.

6. Troubleshooting

Drive Not Recognized:

• Re-insert: Remove the drive and re-insert it firmly into the port.
