• Dual Power Outage Protection

  Featuring a supercapacitor and RTL9210 main control, the enclosure provides dual software and hardware data protection. It offers an additional 10 seconds of power supply after an outage, ensuring FTL mapping table updates and cache data writing to protect data and the hard disk.

  Note: The supercapacitor requires 5-6 minutes to fully charge. Once charged, it will not affect the hard drive during file reading or standby mode (not in write mode), power off, or unplugging, and will not increase unsafe shutdowns.

4. Setup Instructions

4.1. Installing the M.2 2230 NVMe SSD

1. Carefully open the Hagibis MC100 enclosure. Refer to the product diagram for the correct opening mechanism.
2. Locate the M.2 SSD slot inside the enclosure.
3. Gently insert your M.2 2230 NVMe SSD into the slot, ensuring it is aligned correctly with the M-Key or B+M Key notch.
4. Secure the SSD in place using the provided screw.
5. Close the enclosure securely.

4.2. Initial SSD Formatting

Important Note:

When connecting a new M.2 SSD to this product for the first time, you must format the M.2 SSD to exFAT format. Failure to do so may result in the SSD not being recognized by your device.

For Windows users, you can format the drive via Disk Management. For macOS users, use Disk Utility. Ensure you select the exFAT file system.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Connecting to Devices

1. Attach the Hagibis MC100 enclosure to your device (e.g., iPhone, iPad, MacBook) using its magnetic back. For non-magnetic devices, use the provided magnetizing ring if desired.
2. Connect one end of the provided USB-C data cable to the Type-C port on the Hagibis MC100 enclosure.
3. Connect the other end of the USB-C data cable to the Type-C port on your host device.
4. The SSD should now be recognized by your device as an external storage drive.

5.2. Using for ProRes Video Recording (iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max)

For iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max users, the Hagibis MC100 allows direct recording of 4K ProRes video to the external SSD. Once connected, select the external drive as your storage destination within the camera app settings.

5.3. Power Delivery (PD100W)

The enclosure supports PD100W power delivery. This allows for simultaneous charging of your device while the enclosure is connected, provided your device and charger support PD.

5.4. Data Transfer

Drag and drop files to and from the external SSD as you would with any other external storage device. The 10Gbps speed ensures fast and efficient data transfer.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the enclosure. Avoid using liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the enclosure in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Handling: Handle the enclosure with care to prevent drops or impacts, which could damage the internal SSD or the enclosure itself.
• Cable Care: Ensure the USB-C cables are not bent sharply or tangled, as this can damage the internal wires.

7. Troubleshooting

• SSD Not Recognized

  Possible Cause: New SSD not formatted or formatted incorrectly.

  Solution: Ensure the SSD is formatted to exFAT format. Refer to Section 4.2 for instructions.

  Possible Cause: Loose connection.

  Solution: Re-seat the SSD inside the enclosure and ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the enclosure and your device.

• Slow Transfer Speeds

  Possible Cause: USB port limitation or cable issue.

  Solution: Ensure your device's USB-C port supports USB 3.2 Gen2 (10Gbps) or higher. Use the provided high-speed USB-C cables. Older USB standards (e.g., USB 2.0, USB 3.0/3.1 Gen1) will result in lower speeds.

  Possible Cause: SSD performance limitations.

  Solution: Verify the specifications of your M.2 NVMe SSD. Not all NVMe SSDs achieve maximum speeds.

• Enclosure Disconnects or Behaves Erratically

  Possible Cause: Insufficient power for the SSD.

  Solution: If using an SSD with power consumption greater than 4.5W, it may require additional power. Ensure your host device can provide sufficient power, or consider using a powered USB hub if applicable (though less common for direct phone connection).

  Possible Cause: Supercapacitor not fully charged (during initial use or after prolonged storage).

  Solution: Allow the enclosure to remain connected to a power source for 5-6 minutes for the supercapacitor to fully charge. This ensures the power outage protection functions correctly.
