5. Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your MOVE SPEED SP05 Portable SSD, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Physical Protection: The zinc alloy casing provides excellent protection against drops and impacts. However, avoid intentionally dropping the device or subjecting it to extreme physical shock.
- Temperature Management: The integrated heat dissipation design keeps the drive cool (max temp 122°F). Avoid operating the device in excessively hot environments or blocking its ventilation.
- Environmental Resistance: The drive is designed to be dust-resistant and anti-magnetic. While robust, avoid prolonged exposure to water or strong magnetic fields.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to clean the exterior of the SSD. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Connector Care: Keep the USB-A and Type-C connectors free from dust and debris. The push-pull mechanism helps protect them when not in use.
- Storage: When not in use, store the SSD in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Drive not recognized by device (e.g., iPhone, PC). |
|
|
| Slow data transfer speeds. |
|
|
| Reported capacity is less than stated. |
| This is standard for all storage devices. Manufacturers calculate capacity using a decimal system (1GB = 1,000MB), while operating systems use a binary measurement (1GB ≈ 1,024MB). This results in a formatted capacity approximately 7-10% less than stated (e.g., 1TB shows ~931GB). This is not a defect. |
