How to use

Slide the connector out to expose the USB Type‑A plug and insert the drive into a free USB‑A port on your computer. The operating system should detect the device automatically and assign a removable drive letter for file transfer. Copy or move files using your file manager, then use the system’s safe removal or eject function before disconnecting to reduce the risk of data loss. When not in use, retract the connector to protect it during transport.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid removing the drive while files are being written. Keep a backup of important files on a second device or cloud service. Use only compatible USB‑A ports and consider updating device drivers if transfer speeds are lower than expected.
