Extended Product Information
FAQs
Does this drive support encryption?
No, the Integral Turbo-C does not feature built-in hardware encryption or password protection. You should use third-party software if you need to encrypt your files.
Can I use this with my smartphone?
Yes, as long as your mobile device supports USB OTG (On-The-Go) and has a compatible USB-C port.
What is the warranty period?
The Integral Turbo-C comes with a 4-year warranty.
Does the drive get hot during use?
The zinc housing acts as a heatsink. It is normal for the drive to feel warm during heavy data transfers as it dissipates heat, which is within its normal 0–70°C operating range.
Is a cable required to use this?
No, the Turbo-C is designed as a cable-free, direct-plug USB device.
Troubleshooting
Drive not detected by the computer
Ensure the USB-C port is fully inserted. Try a different USB port on your machine or test it on a different device to rule out host-side port issues.
Slower than advertised transfer speeds
Verify that you are using a USB 3.2 Gen 2 compliant port. Connecting to older USB 2.0 or 3.0 ports will significantly limit the maximum speed.
File system errors or write failures
Run a disk check utility (e.g., Check Disk on Windows or First Aid on macOS) to repair potential file system corruption.

Care Instructions:
- Keep the USB-C connector free of lint and debris to ensure a solid physical connection.
- Although it is impact and dust resistant, avoid exposing the connector to excessive moisture.
- When finished, always use the 'Eject' or 'Safely Remove' command on your operating system before physically disconnecting the drive to prevent file corruption.
- Operating temperature is rated for 0 to 70°C; avoid leaving the drive in extreme heat inside a vehicle.
