Troubleshooting

 

This chapter covers some basic things you can do in the event that you encounter problems using 

this Smart Backup Disk on your system. 

 

z

 

Why does the computer not recognize the Smart Backup Disk? 

ANS

1. 

Make sure that both USB plugs are properly connected to your host USB ports. Do not only 
connect the

 

auxiliary USB plug.   

            2. Make sure that your host USB port is working properly. If you are unsure, please try another 

USB port. 

   

z

 

Why does the hard disk in the Smart Backup Disk make continuous noises while the computer can 

not recognize the Smart Backup Disk? 

ANS

1. This could be because not enough power is being supplied to your hard drive. Please make 

sure that you have connected both A-plugs of the USB “Y” cable to direct more power 
supply. See the “

How to use an auxiliary power cord or power adapter

” chapter for more 

detailed information. 

2. If your Smart Backup Disk is connected to a notebook or via a bus hub (without external 

powered), you need to connect an external power adapter to

 solve the power issue.

 

 

z

Why is the data transfer rate between the computer and the device slowing down? 

ANS

You may be connected to an USB 1.1 low speed port. Please make sure that you have connected 
to a high speed USB2.0 host port.

 The Smart Backup Disk can work at both USB 1.1 and USB 

2.0 ports.

 

However, to achieve a hi-speed transfer rate, we recommend you to connect the Smart 

Backup Disk to an USB2.0 port.
