8. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues with your ORICO 40Gbps M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure, consider the following:

  • Dispositiu no reconegut: Ensure the SSD is correctly installed and secured within the enclosure. Verify that the USB cable is firmly connected to both the enclosure and the host device. Try connecting to a different USB or Thunderbolt port.
  • Velocitats de transferència lentes: Confirm that your host device's port supports 40Gbps (USB4.0 or Thunderbolt 3/4) and that you are using the USB-C to C cable for maximum speed. Older USB ports (e.g., USB 3.0/3.1 Gen1) will operate at lower speeds.
  • Sobreescalfament: Ensure the thermal pad is correctly placed on the SSD's controller chip. Verify that the built-in fan is operating. If the environment is excessively hot, consider using the enclosure in a cooler area. Note that some SSDs may naturally run hotter than others.
  • Power Issues (Mac Mini): Some Mac Mini models may not provide sufficient power to external SSD enclosures, potentially leading to disconnects. If this occurs, try connecting the enclosure to a powered USB hub.
  • SSD Compatibility: Double-check that your SSD is an M-Key NVMe type and does not have a pre-installed heatsink. Refer to the 'Compatibility Notes' section for specific exclusions.
