4. Maintenance
4.1 General Care
- Keep the pendrive clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
- Avoid exposing the pendrive to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or high humidity.
- Ensure the protective cover is rotated to shield the unused connector when not in use to prevent damage.
4.2 Heat Dissipation
The ORICO UFSD Metal Pendrive features an aluminum alloy casing designed for efficient heat dissipation. It is normal for the device to become warm during continuous high-speed data transfer, especially during prolonged use. This is part of its design to protect data and maintain performance. The temperature is designed to remain within safe operating limits even after 30 minutes of continuous use.

5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Pendrive Not Recognized
- Ensure the pendrive is fully inserted into the USB port.
- Try connecting the pendrive to a different USB port on your device.
- Test the pendrive on another computer or mobile device to rule out an issue with the host device.
- For Android devices, verify that OTG functionality is enabled in your device settings if applicable.
5.2 Slow Data Transfer Speed
- Ensure you are using a USB 3.0 or USB 3.2 Gen 1 port on your host device. Connecting to a USB 2.0 port will significantly reduce transfer speeds.
- The actual transfer speed can be affected by the performance of your computer or mobile device, the file size, and the number of files being transferred.
- Avoid running multiple demanding applications during large file transfers.

5.3 Device Gets Warm During Use
As mentioned in the Maintenance section, it is normal for the metal casing to become warm during operation, especially during intensive data transfers. This is due to the efficient heat dissipation design of the aluminum alloy, which helps maintain optimal internal component temperatures and data integrity.
