Troubleshooting

Drive not recognized by computer

Ensure the Thunderbolt/USB cable is securely connected to both the drive and the computer. Try a different port or cable. Restart your computer. For older systems, ensure Thunderbolt drivers are up to date.

Slow transfer speeds

Verify you are connected to a Thunderbolt 3/4 or USB 3.2 Gen 2 port. Check that the connected cable is rated for the appropriate speed. Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Ensure the drive is formatted correctly for your OS (APFS/HFS+ for Mac, NTFS for Windows).

Drive disconnects unexpectedly

Check the cable connection for looseness. Avoid physically moving the drive or cable during transfers. Ensure the system is not going into an aggressive power-saving mode that might disable the port. Update system drivers and firmware.

Inability to set up password protection

Ensure the drive is properly formatted and initialized. Consult the OWC documentation for the specific OS password protection setup process. The drive may need to be reformatted if the initial setup was incomplete.
