Operating Instructions

Data Transfer

Once connected and recognized by your computer or console, the Avolusion M3 Series drive functions like any other storage device. You can drag and drop files, copy and paste, or use backup software to transfer data.

Compatibility

The drive is compatible with:

• Windows operating systems
• Mac OS
• Linux
• PlayStation gaming consoles (PS4, PS5)
• Xbox gaming consoles (Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S)

Maintenance

Care and Handling

• Avoid dropping or subjecting the drive to strong impacts.
• Keep the drive away from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and high humidity.
• Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners.

Safe Disconnection

Always safely eject the drive from your computer or console before physically disconnecting the USB cable to prevent data corruption. For Windows, use the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the system tray. For Mac, drag the drive icon to the Trash or use the Eject button in Finder.

Troubleshooting

Drive Not Detected

• Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the drive and a working power outlet.
• Verify the USB cable is firmly connected to both the drive and the computer/console.
• Try connecting the drive to a different USB port on your computer/console.
• Test the drive with a different USB cable if available.
• Restart your computer or console.

Slow Data Transfer Speeds

• Ensure you are connected to a USB 3.0 port on your computer/console for optimal speeds. USB 2.0 ports will result in slower transfers.
• Avoid running multiple demanding applications during large file transfers.
• Check your computer's system resources (CPU, RAM) for high usage.

Drive Requires Formatting

If the drive prompts for formatting, it may be due to a new connection to a different operating system (e.g., moving from Mac to Windows, or connecting to a gaming console). Formatting will erase all data on the drive. Back up any important data before proceeding.
