7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the SSD. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place when not in use.

- Safe Ejection: Always safely eject the SSD from your computer or mobile device before unplugging it to prevent data corruption.
8. Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device not recognized | Improper connection, incompatible device, or driver issue. | Ensure the connector is fully inserted. Try a different USB port or device. For computers, check device manager for driver updates. For phones, ensure OTG is enabled if required by your device. |
| Slow transfer speeds | Using a lower-speed USB port (e.g., USB 2.0), cable limitations, or system overhead. | Connect to a USB 3.2 Gen 2 (or higher) port for optimal speeds. Ensure your device supports USB 3.2 Gen 2. Avoid running multiple demanding applications during transfer. |
| Device gets warm during use | Normal operation, especially during large file transfers. | This is expected as the metal casing dissipates heat. Ensure adequate airflow around the device. If it becomes excessively hot to touch, discontinue use and contact support. |
| Cannot fit next to another USB device | Physical size of the SSD. | The device has a slightly wider body. Use an alternative USB port if available, or a short USB extension cable if necessary. |
| Data corruption | Improper ejection, power loss during transfer, or hardware fault. | Always safely eject the device. Ensure stable power supply. If issues persist, back up data and consider formatting the drive (this will erase all data). |
