Common Issues
-
Compatibility Issues: Despite its dual-interface design, users may experience compatibility problems with certain devices, especially older hardware or non-standard USB ports. While it supports both USB Type-C and Type-A, the drive's performance can be inconsistent if the device does not fully support these standards.
-
Data Transfer Speed Variability: Although the drive is marketed for high-speed transfers, actual performance can vary based on the device it's connected to and the type of files being transferred. Users might find that speeds are slower than expected, particularly when dealing with large files or when using older USB ports.
