5. Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life of your ORICO EB05 Flash Drive and protect your data.

6. Troubleshooting
6.1. Drive Not Recognized
- Check Connection: Ensure the flash drive is fully inserted into the USB port. Try a different USB port on your device.
- Try Another Device: Connect the flash drive to another computer or compatible device to determine if the issue is with the drive or the original device.
- Restart Device: Sometimes a simple restart of your computer or smartphone can resolve recognition issues.
- Check Device Manager (Windows) / System Information (Mac): Verify if the drive appears in your system's device list, even if it's not showing in File Explorer/Finder. This can indicate a driver issue (though unlikely for plug-and-play devices).
- Formatting: If the drive is recognized but inaccessible, it might require reformatting. Warning: Reformatting will erase all data on the drive.
6.2. Slow Transfer Speeds
- USB Port Type: Ensure you are using a USB 3.0/3.1/3.2 port on your device for optimal speeds. Connecting to a USB 2.0 port will result in significantly slower transfers.
- File Size and Type: Transferring many small files is generally slower than transferring a few large files of the same total size.
- Device Performance: The speed of your computer's hard drive or SSD can affect transfer rates.
- Background Processes: Other applications or processes running on your device might be consuming system resources, affecting transfer speeds.
6.3. Error Messages
If you encounter specific error messages, consult your operating system's documentation or online resources for troubleshooting steps related to that error.
