Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Enclosure not recognized by device | Loose connection, incompatible SSD, unformatted SSD, driver issue. | Ensure USB-C cable is securely connected. Verify SSD is M.2 NVMe (M Key) 2230. Format the SSD if it's new (refer to your device's OS instructions). Try a different USB-C port or device. |
| Slow data transfer speeds | Cable limitation, device port limitation, SSD performance. | Ensure you are using the provided 10Gbps USB-C cable. Verify your device's USB-C port supports USB 3.2 Gen2 (10Gbps). Check the performance specifications of your installed NVMe SSD. |
| Enclosure gets hot during use | Normal operation, heavy workload. | It is normal for the enclosure to warm up during high-speed data transfer or extended use due to heat dissipation from the SSD. Ensure the thermal pad is correctly installed. If excessively hot, reduce workload or allow it to cool. |
| Magnetic attachment is weak | Thick phone case, non-MagSafe device. | Use a thinner phone case or the provided magnetic stick ring on your device/case to enhance magnetic connection. |
