10. Common Problems and Troubleshooting

If your computer doesn't recognize the SSD enclosure, no drive letter appears? Please follow the steps
below to confirm:

Confirm whether to install a supported NVMe M.2 SSD. For details, please refer to the SSD compatibility list on the
official website.

For the new SSD, you need to enter the disk management and initialize the SSD before it can be detected and used
normally.

If the USB4 device is not recognized under Windows PC, please visit your PC manufacturer website and update your
Windows PC's Thunderbolt firmware and drivers to the latest version.

If the device indicator is not on, please confirm whether the SSD is installed in place, and try to reinstall the SSD
again.

If the device indicator is still not on, the SSD may be faulty, please try to replace the SSD for testing.

thunderbolt or a USB interface, and try again after changing the interface of a computer.

Confirm that there is no HUB or Docking connection through Thunderbolt/USB.

Reinstall the Thunderbolt/USB interface driver officially provided by the computer manufacturer.
