Troubleshooting

Drive not recognized by computer

Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the drive and the computer. Try a different USB port or cable. If using a front USB port, try a rear port directly on the motherboard. Check Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS) to see if the drive is listed.

Slow transfer speeds

Verify that your computer's USB port supports USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 for maximum speed. Ensure you are using the correct cable. Close unnecessary background applications that may be consuming system resources.

Drive disconnects unexpectedly

Check the USB cable for damage and ensure a firm connection. Try a different USB port. Update your system's USB drivers and operating system.

Unable to save files or format issues

The drive may need to be formatted. Ensure the file system (e.g., EXFAT for broad compatibility, NTFS for Windows) is appropriate for your needs. Note that formatting will erase all data.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Achieves very high read/write speeds (up to 2000 MB/s) with compatible hardware.
  • Extremely portable due to its slim and lightweight metal design.
  • Broad compatibility across various operating systems and devices.
  • Simple plug-and-play setup requires no additional software.
  • Supports advanced video recording features on compatible iPhones.

Cons

  • Maximum speeds require a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port, which is not yet universally available.
  • Metal casing can be prone to minor scratches over time.
  • Relies on the host device's formatting for compatibility (e.g., EXFAT for iPhone).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect the SSD to your device using the provided USB-C to USB-C cable or the USB-C to USB-A adapter.
  2. The drive is Plug & Play and should appear automatically in your file explorer or device manager.

Compatibility:

  • Operating Systems: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, Smart TVs.
  • Gaming Consoles: PlayStation, Xbox (functionality may vary based on console OS).
  • Smartphones: iPhone Pro/Pro Max (for ProRes recording, requires EXFAT format), other USB-C enabled Android phones.
  • Ports: For maximum speed, a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port is required. It is backward compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 2, USB 3.1, USB 3.0, and USB 2.0 at reduced speeds.

Care:

  • Avoid exposing the drive to extreme temperatures, moisture, or direct sunlight.
  • Handle the drive with care to prevent physical damage to the casing or internal components.
  • When formatting, ensure you use a file system compatible with your primary devices (e.g., NTFS for Windows, HFS+ or APFS for macOS, EXFAT for cross-platform use including iPhone Pro recording).
