The drive is not recognized or takes over 30 seconds to appear in My Computer after plugged into a PC.
This can be the result of data corruption. We suggest to run the following command in Windows,
- 1. Press ‘Windows + S’ and type ‘CMD’
-
2. Right-click on ‘Command Prompt’ and select ‘Run as Administrator’. When prompted, click ‘YES’
-
3. In the Command Prompt window, type chkdsk X: /r /f (X = the drive letter)
-
4. Press ‘Enter’ to start the scan and repair process.
Also, we recommend leaving at least 15-20% of free space for best performance. If the drive is filled past this level, we suggest to offload some data.
