6. Troubleshooting
6.1 Common Issues
- Device Not Recognized: Ensure the USB-C connector is fully and securely inserted into your device. Try connecting to a different USB-C port or device to rule out port issues.
- Slow Transfer Speeds: Verify that your device supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 for optimal performance. Ensure no other high-bandwidth operations are running simultaneously.
- Overheating: While the device may warm up during intensive use (e.g., 4K 60fps ProRes recording), excessive heat could indicate an issue. Ensure proper ventilation and avoid covering the device during operation.
- Dropped Frames During Recording: Confirm your recording settings (resolution, frame rate) are compatible with the SSD's write speeds (up to 1000MB/s). Ensure your phone's software is up to date.
