8. Troubleshooting

• SSD not recognized:
  • Ensure the cable is securely connected to both the SSD and your device.
  • Try a different USB port on your device.
  • Try connecting to a different computer or device to rule out a port issue.
  • Check your device's disk management utility (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS) to see if the drive is detected but unformatted.
• Slow transfer speeds:
  • Ensure you are connected to a USB 3.0 Gen1 (or higher) port. USB 2.0 ports will result in significantly slower speeds.
  • Verify that your device's drivers are up to date.
  • Avoid transferring many small files simultaneously, as this can reduce overall speed.
• Magnetic attachment issues:
  • Ensure the magnetic attraction ring is properly installed and adhered if your device lacks native magnetic support.
  • Confirm your device is not an Apple phone with a Lightning connector, as these are not supported for magnetic attachment.
