Important Notes & Usage Instructions Based on our analysis of returned units, over 98% of defects are caused by improper unplugging. Therefore, Never unplug the drive during data transfers, and avoid sudden power loss. Due to the inherent properties of hard drives, and in order to protect your data, please strictly follow these guidelines 1. Back up any important data promptly. 2. Always use your system’s Safely Remove Hardware function (Windows) or Eject (macOS/Android) before unplugging the SSD drive. Never unplug the drive during data transfers, and avoid any sudden power loss. How to use with Apple 1. Open the "Files" app on your iphone, and click "Browse". Connect the drive to your iphone/macbook/ipad through the USB-C cable, and you will see a new drive folder in the "Files" app. 2. Due to iOS limitations, certain files cannot be directly opened on iPhones or iPads. Our product is merely a hard drive for file storage. Our hard drive is widely compatible and allows file access on most USB-enabled devices. However, like any other hard drive, this product does not include software. Some specific file types require corresponding apps or software to open or edit. Files that cannot be opened on your device cannot be opened by any hard drive either. You need software compatible with the file format to open or edit them. How to use with Android Android devices like Samsung must support and turn on OTG (On-The-Go) functionality to recognize and access external drives or devices. The method for enabling OTG varies by manufacturer; please refer to your phone's manual for specific guidance. About 1/4 of the current available capacity is allocated for high-speed caching. The Writing Speed remains stable when the file size of each transfer is less than 1/4 of the remaining usuable capacity. For example, when the USB SSD drive has 600GB available capacity left, you can transfer data less than 150GB at a time, the speed will not drop. Our drive follows USB 3.2 Gen2 10Gbps protocol. In order to get the read and write speed 1050MB/s &1000 MB/s, please connect the drive to a compatible port. If connected to a USB 2.0 port, transfer speeds will be limited to 40–50 MB/s due to the inherent limitations of the older USB 2.0 standard. The 1050MB/s speed, tested via CrystalDiskMark, represents the drive's peak capability. Actual file transfer speeds are subject to various factors, including the USB specification of your computer or phone port, the USB standard of any adapters used, the size and number of files being transferred, and the current state of the drive.

Review: Great for Running Linux on Old PCs Without Touching Internal Drives - I bought this external SSD mainly to test and run Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon on older legacy computers, and it worked great for that purpose. The system runs smoothly straight from the drive, and performance is surprisingly good for external storage. What I really like is that I can use it without touching or modifying the internal hard drive of the PC. That made it perfect for testing Linux safely while keeping the original system intact. It’s basically a plug-and-play way to breathe new life into older machines. The drive itself is portable and fast enough for everyday use in this kind of setup. If you’re experimenting with Linux or want a non-invasive way to run an OS on older hardware, this is a great option. Very happy with this purchase.
