4.3. Działanie wentylatora chłodzącego

The built-in cooling fan automatically activates to dissipate heat during intensive operations, helping to maintain stable performance and prevent thermal throttling. The fan operates quietly to minimize disturbance.

4.4. SSD Formatting and Speed Testing

For new SSDs, you may need to format the drive before use. The choice of file system (e.g., ExFAT, APFS) can impact performance and compatibility across different operating systems. For example, APFS generally offers faster speeds on Apple Silicon Macs compared to ExFAT, but ExFAT provides broader compatibility across Windows, macOS, and Linux systems.

  • Ensure the SSD is correctly installed and seated firmly within the enclosure.
  • Try connecting the enclosure to a different USB/Thunderbolt port on your device.
  • Test with a different cable if available.
  • Check Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS) to see if the drive is detected but unformatted. Format if necessary.

7.2. Slow Data Transfer Speeds

  • Verify that your host device's port supports 40Gbps (USB4 or Thunderbolt 3/4).
  • Ensure you are using the provided 40Gbps cable.
  • Check the SSD's health and performance.
  • Zamknij wszystkie aplikacje działające w tle, które mogą zużywać zasoby systemowe lub operacje wejścia/wyjścia na dysku.
