- Device Recognition:
Your operating system should automatically detect the Netac ZX20 SSD. For Windows, it will appear under "This PC" or "My Computer". For macOS, it will appear on the desktop or in Finder.
- Formatting (Optional):
The SSD comes pre-formatted for general use. If you need to reformat it for a specific file system (e.g., NTFS for Windows, HFS+ for macOS, exFAT for cross-platform compatibility), use your operating system's Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS) tool.

5. Operating Instructions
- Data Transfer:
To transfer files, simply drag and drop them to and from the Netac ZX20 drive icon. For large files or folders, it is recommended to use copy/paste functions or dedicated file transfer software for better stability.
- Safe Removal:
Always safely eject the SSD before disconnecting it to prevent data corruption. On Windows, right-click the drive icon in "This PC" and select "Eject". On macOS, drag the drive icon to the Trash or click the Eject button next to the drive name in Finder.
6. Maintenance
- Keep it Clean: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior of the SSD. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Protect from Impact: While the ZX20 is shock-resistant, avoid dropping it or subjecting it to excessive force to ensure longevity.
- Temperature Control: Store and operate the SSD within recommended temperature ranges (typically 0°C to 70°C). Extreme temperatures can affect performance and lifespan.
- Regular Backups: Periodically back up important data from your SSD to another storage device to prevent data loss in case of unforeseen issues.
7. Troubleshooting
- SSD Not Detected:
- Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the SSD and your device.
- Try a different USB port on your device.
- Test with the other included USB cable.
- Restart your computer/device.
- Check Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS) to see if the drive is recognized but uninitialized or unformatted.
- Slow Transfer Speeds:
- Ensure you are connected to a USB 3.0/3.1/3.2 port on your device. Older USB 2.0 ports will result in significantly slower speeds.
- Verify that your device's drivers are up to date.
- Avoid running multiple demanding applications during large file transfers.
- Data Corruption/Errors:
- Always safely eject the SSD before disconnecting.
- Run a disk check utility (e.g., `chkdsk` on Windows, First Aid on macOS Disk Utility) to scan and repair potential errors.
