9. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues with your Alxum S1235D, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Dispositiu no reconegut:
  • Assegureu-vos que tots els cables estiguin ben connectats.
  • Verify the enclosure's main switch is in the 'ON' position.
  • Try connecting to a different USB-C port on your host device.
  • If using a 3.5-inch SATA HDD, confirm the 12V/2A power adapter is connected and functioning.
  • Check your computer's Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (Mac OS) to see if the drive is detected but uninitialized or unformatted.
• Velocitat de transferència de dades lenta:
  • Ensure your host device's USB-C port supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps) for optimal speeds.
  • Verify that the connected SSD/HDD is capable of high speeds.
  • Avoid using USB hubs if possible, as they can sometimes limit transfer speeds. Connect directly to the computer's port.
• M.2 SSD Overheating:
  • The vertical design helps, but ensure the device is placed in an area with good airflow.
  • Avoid covering the enclosure during operation.
• Automatic Hibernation Too Frequent:
  • The device is designed to hibernate after 30 minutes of inactivity. This is normal behavior to save power and extend drive life.
