Try a different USB cable.
Q: Are there other USB devices connected to the same port or hub?
A: Disconnect other USB devices and see if the storage device’s performance improves.
Problem: I have an older computer with USB 2.0 ports
Q: Will my storage device’s USB 3.1 Gen 2 port work with my computer’s USB 2.0 port?

Problem: I must use a USB hub for my USB devices
Q: Can I use my storage device with a USB hub?
A: Yes, the storage device can be connected to a USB hub. If you use a hub and encounter detection
problems, slower than normal transfer rates, random disconnection from your computer or other unusual
issues, try connecting the storage device directly to the computer’s USB port.
Some USB hubs are less than efficient with power management, which can be problematic for connected
devices. In such a case, consider trying a powered USB hub that includes a power cable.
