Important Notes

The USB ports are not designed for charging, only for device syncing, data transfer, and USB peripherals.

Upon initial installation, please ensure your SSD is properly formatted to your host device's operating system.

Not compatible with Apple USB SuperDrive or other CD readers.

It is recommended for keyboards, mice, and other low data peripherals to be connected to the USB 2.0 port.

Please eject the SSD from your host device prior to disconnecting the USB-C cable. Failure to do so can result in lost or corrupted files.

When using an SSD, do not connect more than one high-powered peripheral or external storage device to the hub due to power requirements. Doing so may cause the SSD or other connected peripherals to unmount.
