6.2 Connecting the Adapter to Your Device

1. Connect the integrated USB-C cable of the adapter to an available USB-C port on your computer, laptop, mobile phone, or other compatible device.
2. The adapter is plug-and-play; drivers are typically not required for most operating systems.
3. The LED indicator on the adapter will illuminate when connected and flash during data transfer.

6.3 Initializing New SSDs (Windows)

If you are using a brand new M.2 NVMe SSD, it may not appear in 'My Computer' or 'File Explorer' until it is initialized, partitioned, and formatted. Follow these steps for Windows systems:

1. Insert the drive into the adapter and connect the adapter to your PC.
2. Feu clic amb el botó dret al botó "Inici" i seleccioneu "Administració de discs".
3. In 'Disk Management', locate your new disk (it will likely be marked as 'Unknown' or 'Not Initialized').
4. Right-click on the disk and select 'Initialize Disk'.
5. Choose the partition style: MBR for disks less than 2TB, or GPT for disks 2TB or larger. Click 'OK'.
6. After initialization, the disk will appear as 'Unallocated Space'. Right-click on the unallocated space and select 'New Simple Volume'.
7. Follow the 'New Simple Volume Wizard' to assign a drive letter, choose a file system (e.g., NTFS), and format the drive. Click 'Next' and 'Finish' to complete the process.

Your SSD should now be ready for use.

7. Instruccions de funcionament

7.1 Transferència de dades

Once the SSD is properly inserted and the adapter is connected to your device, the SSD will appear as an external drive. You can then drag and drop files, copiar, enganxar o utilitzar qualsevol file management software to transfer data to and from the SSD.

8. Manteniment

• Mantingueu l'adaptador net i sense pols. Feu servir un drap suau i sec per netejar-lo.
• Guardeu l'adaptador en un lloc fresc i sec quan no l'utilitzeu.
• Eviteu deixar caure l'adaptador ni sotmetre'l a impactes forts.
• Ensure proper ventilation during extended use, although the semi-open design aids in heat dissipation.

Figure 8: Design for heat dissipation. This image shows the adapter's semi-open design, which facilitates rapid heat dissipation from the inserted SSD.

9. Solució De Problemes

• SSD no reconegut:
  • Ensure the SSD is fully and correctly inserted into the adapter.
  • Verify the adapter's USB-C cable is securely connected to your device.
  • For new SSDs, ensure it has been initialized, partitioned, and formatted (refer to Section 6.3).
  • Confirm the SSD is an M.2 NVMe M-Key type and not an M.2 SATA B+M Key.
  • Try connecting to a different USB-C port or another device to rule out port issues.
• Velocitats de transferència de dades lentes:
  • Ensure your device's USB-C port supports USB 3.2 Gen2x1 (10Gbps) or higher. Connecting to a slower USB port (e.g., USB 2.0 or USB 3.0) will result in lower speeds.
  • Verify your operating system supports UASP and TRIM for optimal performance.
  • Close other applications that might be consuming system resources or disk I/O.
• Sobreescalfament de l'adaptador:
  • The semi-open design helps with heat dissipation. Ensure the adapter is not covered or placed in an enclosed space during heavy use.
  • High-performance NVMe SSDs can generate heat. If overheating persists, reduce continuous heavy data transfer or consider a brief pause.
