Troubleshooting

• Drive Not Detected:
  • Ensure the drive is fully inserted into the USB port.
  • Try a different USB port on your device.
  • Restart your computer or mobile device.
  • For mobile devices, check if your device supports USB OTG (On-The-Go) functionality.
• Slow Transfer Speeds:
  • Ensure you are using a USB 3.0/3.1/3.2 compatible port on your computer for optimal speeds. Connecting to a USB 2.0 port will result in slower transfers.
  • Large numbers of small files can transfer slower than a single large file of the same total size.
  • Close other applications that might be using system resources.
• Data Corruption:
  • Always use the 'Safely Remove Hardware' option on computers before unplugging the drive.
  • Avoid unplugging the drive during active file transfers.
• Insufficient Storage Space:
  • Verify the actual free space on the drive. Note that a small portion of the drive's capacity is used for system files and formatting, resulting in slightly less usable space than advertised.
  • Delete unnecessary files from the drive or transfer them to another storage location.
