This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your ORICO DAS enclosure.

Common Queries section from the product description, listing questions and answers regarding hard drive detection, RAW format, dynamic invalidity, missing drive letters, and automatic disconnections.

Image: Common Queries and Solutions.

Q: After a brand new hard drive is connected to the computer, why can't it be found and the drive letter cannot be displayed?
A: After the new hard drive is connected to the computer, it must be formatted before the system can recognize it and use it. Operation method: first, right-click "Computer", then click "Manage", open "Disk Management", find the newly added hard drive, and right-click "For Initialization", select "MBR" (hard disk capacity less than or equal to 2TB) or "GPT" (greater than 2TB), then "New Simple Volume". By default, the next step is to format the partition. After the formatting is completed, the hard disk can be used normally and the new Added drive letter.
Q: What should I do if the hard disk appears in RAW format in Disk Management due to improper extraction or power outage?
A: Restore through the chkdsk command; operation method: run cmd as an administrator, enter CHKDSK D:/F (where D is the drive letter of the disk). After the scan and repair is completed, restart and it will be displayed.
Q: The hard drive shows dynamic invalidity in disk management after it was removed from the old computer?
A: This is caused by a problem with your system. Just reinstall the hard drive into the original computer motherboard, then back up the data and format it. If your old computer has been scrapped or cannot enter the system, you can download a dynamic disk conversion software to directly convert it into a basic disk.
Q: The hard drive is only displayed but has no drive letter?
A: Go to Disk Management, right-click the disk partition, select Change Disk Path and Name, and add the disk name for use.
Q: Automatically disconnects during transmission and then reconnects itself after a while?
A: When this happens, there may be a problem with the computer USB interface, USB data cable problem, computer USB driver problem, hard disk problem, or hard disk cabinet problem. You need to contact our technical staff to troubleshoot for you one by one.

8. Consells d'usuari

  • Configuració RAID: If you plan to use RAID features, especially with Mac OS 11+ or Linux, remember to configure RAID on a Windows machine first using the appropriate software, and format the partitions as exFAT for cross-platform compatibility.
  • Seguretat de les dades: Always back up critical data. While the enclosure offers robust features, external factors like power outages or improper disconnections can lead to data corruption.
  • Qualitat del cable: Ensure you use the provided high-quality USB 3.2 Gen2 cable for optimal performance and stability. Issues like automatic disconnections can sometimes be traced back to faulty cables or computer USB ports.
  • Refrigeració: For prolonged high-load operations, ensure the enclosure has adequate ventilation to prevent overheating, which can impact drive performance and longevity.
