Cannot unlock the drive:

• Stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie das richtige Passwort eingeben.

Langsame Datenübertragungsgeschwindigkeiten:

• Ensure you are connected to a USB 3.0 port on your computer for optimal performance. USB 2.0 ports will result in slower speeds.
• Avoid using long or low-quality USB extension cables, as these can degrade transfer speeds.
• Groß file transfers can sometimes cause the drive to warm up, which may lead to a temporary reduction in speed to protect the device.

Drive gets warm during use:

• It is normal for the drive to become warm during extended periods of data transfer, especially with USB 3.0 speeds. This is generally not a cause for concern unless it becomes excessively hot to touch.
