6. Problemų sprendimas

• Diskas neaptiktas:
  • Ensure all cables (USB, power, data) are securely connected.
  • Verify the adapter's power switch is ON and the LED indicator is lit.
  • For 3.5" IDE drives, confirm the 4-pin power cable is correctly connected.
  • Check Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS) to see if the drive is detected but uninitialized or unformatted.
  • Pabandykite prijungti adapterį prie kito kompiuterio USB prievado.
  • Test with a different hard drive if possible to rule out drive issues.
• Mažas perdavimo greitis:
  • Įsitikinkite, kad esate prijungtas prie kompiuterio USB 3.0 prievado. USB 2.0 prievadai leis pasiekti mažesnį greitį.
  • Verify your computer's USB drivers are up to date.
  • The speed of the connected drive itself can also be a limiting factor.
• Drive spins up but is not accessible:
  • The drive may be unformatted or have a partition error. Refer to "3.3 Drive Initialization and Formatting" section.
  • Ensure the drive is not already in use by another application or process.
