ചില പൊതുവായ പ്രശ്നങ്ങളും അവയുടെ പരിഹാരങ്ങളും ഇതാ:
- ഡ്രൈവ് തിരിച്ചറിയാൻ കഴിഞ്ഞിട്ടില്ല: Ensure the drive is properly unlocked by following the "Setup" steps before inserting it into the USB port. The green light should be flashing when inserted.
- Incorrect PIN Attempts: The datAshur PRO2 has a security feature that will delete the encryption key and render all data inaccessible if an incorrect PIN is entered 10 consecutive times. This is a security measure to prevent brute-force attacks. There is no recovery for data after this event.
- Drive Not Powering On: Ensure the internal battery has sufficient charge. Connect the drive to a powered USB port to charge it.
- മന്ദഗതിയിലുള്ള ഡാറ്റ കൈമാറ്റം: Verify that you are using a USB 3.0 or higher port for optimal speeds. Older USB 2.0 ports will result in slower transfer rates.
