4. Instruccions de funcionament

The GEWOKLIY GE-MC40USDG enclosure is designed for plug-and-play operation, requiring no driver installation.

4.1 Connexió a un dispositiu

Connect the enclosure to your host device (computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone, or gaming console) using the provided coaxial USB-C cable. Ensure the cable is securely connected to both the enclosure and the device's Thunderbolt 3/4 or USB 3.0/3.1/3.2 port.

4.2 Velocitat de transferència de dades

The enclosure supports data transfer speeds up to 40Gbps when connected to a Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 interface. When connected to USB 3.2/3.1/3.0 interfaces, speeds will be lower. The LED indicator on the enclosure will light up to show operational status. A white LED indicates USB 3 speed, while a green LED indicates full USB4/Thunderbolt speed.

7. Manteniment

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your enclosure:

• Neteja: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the enclosure. Avoid using liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Thermal Pad Integrity: Periodically check that the thermal pads are properly seated and making good contact with both the SSD/chip and the enclosure casing. If the enclosure consistently runs hot, re-check the thermal pad application.
• Cura del cable: Handle the USB-C cable carefully. Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling to prevent damage.
• Emmagatzematge: When not in use, store the enclosure in a cool, dry place, preferably in the provided velvet bag, to protect it from dust and scratches.

8. Solució De Problemes

• Enclosure Not Detected:
  • Assegureu-vos que el cable USB-C estigui connectat correctament tant a la carcassa com al dispositiu amfitrió.
  • Try connecting to a different USB-C or Thunderbolt port on your device.
  • Verify that the M.2 NVMe SSD is correctly installed and seated within the enclosure.
  • Check if the SSD requires initialization and formatting in your operating system's Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (Mac OS).
• Velocitat de transferència de dades lenta:
  • Ensure you are using a Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 port on your host device to achieve 40Gbps speeds. USB 3.x ports will operate at lower speeds.
  • Confirm that the provided coaxial USB-C cable (40Gbps) is being used, as cable quality can affect performance.
  • Check the LED indicator: White for USB 3 speed, Green for full USB4/Thunderbolt speed.
  • Verify your SSD is an NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive, as older generations or SATA SSDs will have lower speeds.
• La carcassa s'escalfa:
  • It is normal for the aluminum enclosure to become warm during heavy use, as it is designed to dissipate heat from the SSD.
  • Ensure the thermal pads are correctly installed and making firm contact with the SSD, control chip, and the enclosure's metal casing. Improper installation can hinder heat transfer.
  • Avoid placing the enclosure in confined spaces that restrict airflow.
• SSD no compatible:
  • Confirm your SSD is an M.2 NVMe (M Key or B+M Key) and not a SATA NGFF or mSATA drive.
  • Verify the physical size of your M.2 SSD (2230, 2242, 2260, or 2280mm) is supported.
