Troubleshooting

Drive is not recognized by the computer.

Ensure both the USB cable and the external power adapter are securely connected. Try a different USB port and a different power outlet. Restart your computer.

Incorrect PIN entry lockout.

If the drive enters a lockout state, you will need to perform a factory reset. This will erase all data on the drive. Refer to the official iStorage manual for the specific reset procedure for your model.

Slow data transfer speeds.

Verify that you are using a USB 3.2 port on your computer for optimal speeds. Ensure the USB cable is not damaged. Close unnecessary applications running in the background.
