6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your UnionSine HD3513, consider the following:

• Device Not Recognized:
  • Ensure the power adapter is securely connected and the device is receiving power.
  • Verify the USB cable is properly connected to both the hard drive and your computer.
  • Try connecting to a different USB port on your computer.
  • Test with a different USB cable if available.
  • Check your computer's Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS) to see if the drive is detected but uninitialized or unformatted.

  • Ensure you are connected to a USB 3.0 port on your computer. USB 2.0 ports will result in significantly slower speeds.
  • Close other applications that might be using system resources or performing disk operations.
  • The actual transfer rate may vary depending on your hardware configuration and operating system.
• Compatibility Issues:
  • If the drive is not working with a specific device (e.g., TV, Xbox), check the device's manual for supported external storage formats and reformat the hard drive if necessary (refer to the Initial Formatting section).
