Troubleshooting

Device not recognized by computer

Check the Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C cable connection, ensure the device is powered on, and verify compatibility with your operating system. Try a different cable or port on your computer.

Slow transfer speeds

Check the RAID configuration (RAID 0 offers the fastest speeds but no data protection, RAID 5 provides a balance). Ensure that your computer's Thunderbolt 3 port is functioning correctly. Check for any background processes that may be consuming system resources.

Device overheating

Ensure that the device is placed in a well-ventilated area. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or near heat sources. If overheating persists, consider contacting SanDisk support.

Data loss or drive failure

If a drive fails, replace it with a compatible drive. Depending on your RAID configuration, you may be able to rebuild the array. Regularly back up your data to protect against data loss. Contact SanDisk support for assistance.
