Operating Instructions
To use your TREBLEET SSD enclosure:
- Connect one end of the provided 80Gbps USB-C cable to the TB5 Data Transmission Interface (80Gbps) on the enclosure.
- Connect the other end of the cable to a compatible port on your computer (Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, or USB4).
- For high-capacity NVMe drives (8TB or larger) or when experiencing insufficient power issues, connect a power adapter (not included) to the Auxiliary Power Supply Interface (PD Power Port) on the enclosure. This ensures stable data transmission.
- For Windows operating systems, ensure "Disk Write Caching" is enabled to achieve maximum write performance. This setting can typically be found in Device Manager under the disk drive properties.
