Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Drive not recognized by device.	Incorrect connector used, loose connection, incompatible device, or driver issue.	Ensure the correct USB-A or USB-C connector is fully inserted. Try a different USB port on your device. Verify your device supports external USB storage. Restart your device. Check for updated USB drivers on your computer.
Slow transfer speeds.	Using a slower USB port (e.g., USB 2.0 instead of USB 3.2), large number of small files, or background processes.	Connect the drive to a USB 3.2 Gen 1 (or higher) compatible port on your device. Transfer fewer large files instead of many small ones if possible. Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Ensure your device's operating system is up to date.
Cannot write files to the drive.	Drive is full, write-protected, or file system limitation (e.g., FAT32 file size limit).	Check available space on the drive. Ensure the drive is not set to read-only mode (if applicable). If transferring files larger than 4GB, ensure the drive is formatted to exFAT or NTFS, not FAT32.
