Common Problems

  • Compatibility Issues: Some older devices or systems may not support the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface, which could result in slower speeds or failure to recognize the drive.

  • Connection Drops: Occasionally, users may experience intermittent disconnections or the drive not being detected, especially when using certain USB hubs or under heavy data transfer loads.

  • Overheating: Like many high-performance SSDs, the XS2000 can get warm under heavy use, potentially leading to thermal throttling and reduced performance if not properly ventilated.

  • Firmware or Driver Updates: Outdated firmware or drivers may cause instability or slow transfer speeds. Regular updates are required for optimal performance.

  • Limited Write Endurance: Although the XS2000 has a high endurance rating, extensive use for large file transfers or as a scratch disk could eventually wear down the NAND flash memory, leading to reduced performance or failure.

  • USB Cable Issues: Some users have reported issues with the provided USB-C to USB-A or USB-C to USB-C cables, such as the cable not being recognized or causing unstable connections.

  • No Write Protection: The drive does not come with built-in write protection, which could be a concern for some users worried about accidental data modification or virus threats.

  • Drive Corruption: Like any external SSD, improper ejection or power loss during data transfer can sometimes cause file system corruption, leading to the need for reformatting.
