• Cihaz tanınmadı: Ensure all cables (USB and power) are securely connected. Try connecting to a different USB port or computer to rule out port-specific issues. Verify the drive is properly seated within the enclosure.
• Yavaş Performans: Check that your computer's USB port supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gb/s) or Thunderbolt for optimal speeds. Ensure the internal hard drive is functioning correctly. Large file transfers or intensive tasks can sometimes cause temporary slowdowns.
• Frequent Disconnects: Ensure the power adapter is providing stable power. Check the USB cable for damage and try a different cable if necessary. Ensure the enclosure is placed on a stable surface.
