How to use

Open the flip cap and insert the appropriate connector (USB Type-C or USB Type-A) into the host device. The drive will be recognised automatically by most operating systems; copy or move files using the file manager on your device. Safely eject the drive from the OS before removing it to avoid data loss.

Recommendations

Use the USB 3.2 Gen 2 port on your computer or device for best transfer speeds and connect directly without hubs when possible. Keep the flip cap closed when not in use to protect the connector and store the drive in a dry, cool place. Regularly back up important data to another location to prevent accidental loss.
