Important: After physical installation, you may need to initialize and format the SSD drive on your computer or device before it can be used for storage. Refer to your operating system's disk management tools for this process.

Magnetic Attachment:

• For iPhone 15/16 series and devices with MagSafe cases, the enclosure will attach directly.
• For non-MagSafe phones or cases, use one of the included magnetic rings. Peel the adhesive backing and firmly attach the ring to the back of your device or case where you intend to mount the enclosure.

PD 100W Simultaneous Charging:

The enclosure supports Power Delivery (PD) up to 100W, allowing for simultaneous charging of your device while the SSD is in use. This ensures continuous operation during extended recording sessions or data transfers.

Maintenance

Heat Dissipation:

The UGREEN enclosure features an exclusive heat dissipation design, utilizing an aluminum shell, thermal pads, and an insulation layer. This design effectively keeps your SSD and connected device cool, even during intensive use like prolonged 4K video recording.

To ensure optimal performance and longevity, keep the enclosure clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures or moisture.

Troubleshooting

• Device Not Recognizing SSD:
  • Ensure the SSD is correctly installed and secured within the enclosure.
  • Verify that the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the enclosure and your device.
  • Check if the SSD needs to be initialized and formatted through your device's disk management utility (e.g., Disk Management on Windows, Disk Utility on Mac).
  • Try connecting the enclosure to a different USB-C port or a different device to rule out port or device specific issues.
• "USB Accessory Requires Too Much Power" Error / Disconnections:
  • High-capacity SSDs or intensive operations (like 4K ProRes recording) may draw significant power.
  • Ensure your iPhone's USB-C port power output is sufficient. Some devices may have limitations.
  • If experiencing power-related issues, connect an external power source to the enclosure's PD USB-C port (if available and supported by your setup) to provide additional power.
  • Ensure you are using the provided USB 3.2 Gen2 cable for optimal power delivery and data transfer.
• Slow Data Transfer Speeds:
  • Confirm that your device's USB-C port supports USB 3.2 Gen2 (10Gbps) or higher. Older USB versions will result in slower speeds.
  • Ensure you are using the provided 10Gbps USB-C cable.
  • Verify the SSD itself is capable of 10Gbps speeds.
• Magnetic Attachment Issues:
  • Ensure the surface of your device or case is clean and flat for proper magnetic adhesion.
  • If using the magnetic ring, ensure it is securely attached and properly aligned.
