Connecting to a USB Type-C Device (e.g., Smartphone, Tablet, Mac)

1. Locate the USB Type-C connector on the flash drive. This is the smaller, reversible connector.

3. Gently insert the USB Type-C connector of the flash drive into the USB Type-C port of your device.

Connecting to a USB Type-A Device (e.g., Desktop PC, Laptop)

1. Locate the traditional USB Type-A connector on the flash drive. This is the larger, rectangular connector.
2. Insert the USB Type-A connector of the flash drive into an available USB Type-A port on your computer.
3. Your computer should automatically detect the drive. It will typically appear as a removable disk in 'My Computer' (Windows) or 'Finder' (Mac).

Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your flash drive.

• Protect Connectors: Utilize the swivel design to retract and protect the USB Type-C and Type-A connectors when the drive is not in use. This prevents dust, debris, and physical damage.
• Handle with Care: Avoid dropping the drive or subjecting it to excessive force.
• Keep Dry: Do not expose the drive to water or other liquids.
• Temperature: Store and operate the drive within recommended temperature ranges (typically 0°C to 45°C operating, -10°C to 70°C storage).
• Safe Removal: Always safely eject the flash drive from your computer or mobile device before physically removing it. This prevents data corruption.

The swivel design helps protect the drive's connectors.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Go, try the following steps:

• Drive Not Recognized:
  • Ensure the drive is fully inserted into the USB port.
  • Try a different USB port on your computer or device.
  • Restart your computer or mobile device.
  • For mobile devices, confirm that USB OTG support is enabled in your device settings, if applicable.
  • Check if your device is in battery saver mode. Some devices may limit power to USB accessories in this mode, causing disconnections or non-recognition. Disable battery saver mode and re-test.
• Slow Transfer Speeds:
  • Ensure you are using a USB 3.0/3.1/3.2 port on your computer for optimal speeds. Connecting to a USB 2.0 port will result in slower transfers.
  • Large numbers of small files can transfer slower than a single large file of the same total size.
  • Close other applications that might be using system resources or accessing the drive.
• Data Corruption:
  • Always use the "Safely Remove Hardware" option on Windows or "Eject" function on Mac/Linux before unplugging the drive. For mobile devices, ensure any transfer operations are complete before removal.
  • If data appears corrupted, try running a disk check utility on your computer.

If these steps do not resolve your issue, please refer to the SanDisk support website for further assistance.
