6. Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Solution |
|---|---|
| Device not recognized | Ensure the cable is securely connected to both the SSD and your device. Try a different USB port or restart your device. |
| Slow transfer speeds | Verify that your device's USB port supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) for optimal speeds. Older USB 2.0 ports will result in significantly slower transfers. Ensure the cable is not damaged. |
| SSD feels warm during use | This is normal, especially during prolonged high-speed data transfers. The aluminum casing is designed to dissipate heat efficiently. If it becomes excessively hot, disconnect and allow it to cool. |
| Data corruption or loss | Always safely eject the SSD before disconnecting. Avoid physical shocks or drops. If issues persist, consider backing up data and reformatting the drive (this will erase all data). |
