6. Solució De Problemes

6.1. Drive Not Detected by Computer

• Assegureu-vos que l'estació d'acoblament estigui engegada i que l'adaptador de corrent estigui connectat correctament.
• Verify the USB cable is firmly connected to both the docking station and your computer. Try a different USB port on your computer.
• Check if the hard drive/SSD is properly seated in the bay. Remove and re-insert it.
• If it's a new drive, it might need to be initialized, partitioned, and formatted in your operating system's Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS).
• Test with a different known-good hard drive/SSD to rule out a drive issue.

6.2. Cloning Process Does Not Start

• Ensure the docking station is disconnected from the computer before initiating cloning.
• Verify that the source drive is in HDD1 and the target drive is in HDD2.
• Confirmeu que la capacitat de la unitat de destinació és igual o superior a la capacitat de la unitat d'origen.
• Press and hold the 'Clone' button for the required duration (3-5 seconds) until the progress LEDs start flashing.
• Ensure both drives are properly inserted and detected by the docking station (power on, then check if drive LEDs briefly illuminate).

6.3. Slow Data Transfer Speeds

• Ensure you are connected to a USB 3.1 Gen-1 (USB 3.0) port on your computer. Connecting to a USB 2.0 port will result in slower speeds.
• Verify that your computer's USB 3.1 Gen-1 drivers are up to date.
• The actual transfer speed can be limited by the speed of the hard drive/SSD itself.
• Eviteu transferir moltes petites files simultaneously, as this can reduce overall transfer speed.
