Troubleshooting
Enclosure not recognized by computer
Ensure the M.2 SSD is correctly seated in the slot and the enclosure cover is fully closed. Try a different USB Type-C port on your computer. Verify the included USB cable is securely connected at both ends. Check if the SSD is compatible (NVMe M-Key/M+B Key M.2).
Slow transfer speeds
Confirm your computer's USB port is USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps). Older USB versions will limit speed. Ensure UASP is enabled in your operating system. Check that the SSD itself is capable of high speeds and is not experiencing thermal throttling.
Drive disconnects intermittently
Check the USB cable for damage and ensure it's firmly connected. Avoid placing the enclosure near strong magnetic interference. Ensure the SSD is properly secured within the enclosure. Overheating can sometimes cause disconnects; ensure vents are clear.
Cannot format or partition the drive
Ensure the drive is properly connected. Use Disk Management in Windows or Disk Utility in macOS to format the drive. If the issue persists, the SSD might be faulty or incompatible.
