4. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your ORICO M25PRO Portable SSD:

  1. Connect the SSD: Use the provided 2-in-1 USB-C cable. Connect the USB-C end to the SSD. Then, connect the other end (either USB-A or USB-C, depending on your device) to an available port on your computer, smartphone, or tablet.
  2. Device Recognition: Your operating system (Windows, macOS, Android, Linux) should automatically detect the SSD. A new drive icon or notification will typically appear.
  3. Initial Formatting (if necessary): For most modern operating systems, the SSD comes pre-formatted and ready for use. If your device prompts you to format the drive, or if you wish to use a specific file system (e.g., NTFS for Windows, HFS+ for macOS, exFAT for cross-platform compatibility), follow the on-screen instructions. Warning: Formatting will erase all data on the drive.
  4. Accessing the Drive: On Windows, access it via "This PC" or "My Computer." On macOS, it will appear on the desktop or in Finder. On Android devices, it can be accessed through a file manager application.

5. Operating Instructions

Using your ORICO M25PRO Portable SSD is straightforward:

  • Transferring Files:
    • Drag and Drop: Click and drag files or folders from your device to the SSD icon or open folder, and vice-versa.
    • Copy and Paste: Right-click (or long-press on touch devices) on the desired files/folders, select "Copy," then navigate to the destination on the SSD, right-click, and select "Paste."
  • Creating Folders: To organize your data, you can create new folders directly on the SSD. Right-click (or long-press) in an empty area within the SSD's directory and select "New Folder."
  • Safe Removal: Always safely eject the SSD before disconnecting it to prevent data corruption. On Windows, click the "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media" icon in the taskbar. On macOS, drag the drive icon to the Trash or click the eject button next to the drive in Finder. On Android, use the "Eject" option in the storage settings.

6. Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity and reliability of your SSD:

  • Physical Care: While the M25PRO is robust, avoid excessive force, extreme temperatures, or direct exposure to liquids. Keep the device clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Data Integrity: Regularly back up important data stored on the SSD to another location. While SSDs are reliable, no storage device is immune to failure.
  • Firmware Updates: Periodically check the ORICO official website for any available firmware updates for your M25PRO SSD. Firmware updates can improve performance and stability.
