6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ORICO K10-1TB Magnetic SSD, consider the following:

  • Device Not Recognized: Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the SSD and your device. Try using a different USB-C port or cable. Restart your device.

  • Magnetic Attachment Issues: Ensure your phone case is compatible with MagSafe or use the provided magnetic attractor ring for a secure hold. Clean the magnetic surfaces on both the SSD and your device/ring.
  • Overheating: While the aluminum alloy aids in cooling, prolonged heavy usage, especially during 4K video recording, may cause the device to warm up. This is normal. If it becomes excessively hot, disconnect it and allow it to cool down.
  • File Corruption: Always ensure the SSD is properly ejected or unmounted from your operating system before physical disconnection to prevent data loss or corruption.
