Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Drive not recognized | Incorrect port used, loose connection, driver issue, or incompatible device. |
|
| Slow transfer speeds | Connected to a USB 2.0 port, large number of small files, or background processes. |
|
| Cannot write files to drive | Drive is full, write-protected, or file system incompatibility. |
|
| Drive gets warm during use | Normal operation during data transfer. | This is normal, especially during large file transfers, due to the metal casing's heat dissipation properties. If it becomes excessively hot or causes device issues, discontinue use and contact support. |
Note: Micro-USB and Lightning connections are not supported by this device.
