Troubleshooting
Drive not recognized by computer
Ensure the Thunderbolt 3 cable is securely connected to both the drive and a Thunderbolt 3 port on your computer. Try a different Thunderbolt 3 port or cable. Restart your computer. Check if Thunderbolt drivers are up to date.
Slow transfer speeds
Verify you are connected to a Thunderbolt 3 port. Ensure the Thunderbolt 3 cable is fully functional. Close other demanding applications that might be using system resources. Check the drive's health using disk utility tools.
Drive disconnects unexpectedly
Check the Thunderbolt 3 cable connection for looseness. Ensure your computer's power settings are not causing the port to power down. Update Thunderbolt drivers and firmware on your computer. Avoid significant physical shocks to the drive while in use.
