• Mantenere l'involucro pulito e privo di polvere. Utilizzare un panno morbido e asciutto per la pulizia.
• Evitare di esporre il contenitore a temperature estreme, umidità o luce solare diretta.
• Non far cadere o sottoporre l'involucro a forti urti.
• Assicurare una ventilazione adeguata attorno all'involucro durante il funzionamento.
• Always safely eject the drive from your operating system before disconnecting the USB-C cable to prevent data corruption.

7. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

7.1 Unità non rilevata

• Controllare le connessioni: Assicurarsi che il cavo USB-C sia collegato saldamente sia all'alloggiamento che al computer.
• Prova un'altra porta USB: Connect the enclosure to a different USB-C port on your computer.
• Verify Drive Installation: Open the enclosure and ensure the HDD/SSD is correctly seated in the SATA connector.
• Check Drive Status: Per le nuove unità, assicurati che siano inizializzate e formattate nella Gestione disco (Windows) o nell'Utility Disco (macOS) del tuo sistema operativo.
• Test with Another Drive/Computer: If possible, test the enclosure with a different 2.5-inch SATA drive or connect it to another computer to isolate the issue.

7.2 Velocità di trasferimento dati lente

• Porta USB 3.0: Ensure the enclosure is connected to a USB 3.0 (or higher) port on your computer. Connecting to a USB 2.0 port will limit speeds to USB 2.0 performance.
• Drive Performance: La velocità di trasferimento effettiva è limitata anche dalla velocità dell'HDD/SSD installato.
• Qualità del cavo: While the enclosure has an integrated cable, ensure no other factors are affecting USB performance.

7.3 Enclosure Gets Warm

It is normal for the enclosure to become warm during extended use, especially during heavy data transfer. This is due to heat generated by the internal HDD/SSD. Ensure adequate airflow around the enclosure.
