• Contenitore non rilevato:
  • Assicurarsi che l'adattatore di alimentazione sia collegato saldamente e che l'alloggiamento sia acceso.
  • Verificare che il cavo USB sia collegato correttamente sia all'alloggiamento che al computer.
  • Prova una porta USB diversa sul tuo computer.
  • Provare con un cavo USB diverso.
  • Ensure the drives are correctly installed and secured in their trays.
• Drives not appearing in OS:
  • For new drives, they may need to be initialized and formatted in your operating system's Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS).
  • Check if the drives are functioning correctly by testing them in another enclosure or directly connecting them to a computer, if possible.
  • Ensure the drives are properly seated in the enclosure trays.
