Always safely remove the external hard drive before disconnecting it from your computer to prevent data corruption. In Windows, use the "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media" icon in the system tray. On macOS, drag the drive icon to the Trash or use the Eject option in Finder.

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your enclosure:

• Giữ cho chuồng nuôi sạch sẽ và không bám bụi. Sử dụng khăn mềm, khô để lau chùi.
• Tránh để chuồng nuôi tiếp xúc với nhiệt độ quá cao, độ ẩm quá cao hoặc ánh nắng trực tiếp.
• Do not drop or subject the enclosure to strong impacts, as this can damage the internal hard drive.
• Đảm bảo thông gió tốt để tránh quá nhiệt, đặc biệt là khi sử dụng trong thời gian dài.

KHAI THÁC. Xử lý sự cố

6.1 Không phát hiện thấy vỏ bọc

• Kiểm tra nguồn điện: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the enclosure and a working electrical outlet.
• Check USB connection: Verify that the USB cable is firmly connected to both the enclosure and a functional USB port on your computer. Try a different USB port or cable.
• Hard drive installation: Re-open the enclosure and ensure the SATA hard drive is correctly seated and connected to the internal connectors.
• Quản lý ổ đĩa (Windows) / Tiện ích ổ đĩa (macOS): Check if the drive appears in your operating system's disk management tools. If it appears but is unallocated or unformatted, you may need to initialize and format it (note: formatting will erase all data on the drive).

6.2 Tốc độ truyền dữ liệu chậm

• Cổng USB 3.0: Hãy đảm bảo bạn đã kết nối thiết bị với cổng USB 3.0 trên máy tính. Cổng USB 2.0 sẽ làm giảm tốc độ kết nối.
• USB 3.0 cable: Use the provided USB 3.0 cable or another certified USB 3.0 cable.
• Hard drive performance: The speed of the internal hard drive itself can be a limiting factor. Older or slower HDDs will not achieve maximum USB 3.0 speeds.
