Troubleshooting
Drive not recognized by computer
Ensure the drive is fully inserted into the USB port. Try a different USB port or a different computer to rule out port issues. If using USB 2.0, ensure the port is functioning.
Slow transfer speeds
Confirm you are using a USB 3.0 port for maximum speed. Close other applications that may be consuming system resources. Try transferring smaller files, as large file transfers often perform better than many small ones.
Cannot access files on the drive
Safely eject and reinsert the drive. Restart your computer. Check if the files are in a password-protected folder and ensure you are entering the correct password for SanDisk SecureAccess.
Error writing files to the drive
Check if the drive is full. Ensure you have write permissions for the files you are trying to save. Format the drive (this will erase all data, so back up first if possible).
