6. പ്രശ്‌നപരിഹാരം

• ഡ്രൈവ് കണ്ടെത്തിയില്ല:
  • 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.
  • ഡ്രൈവ് കണ്ടെത്തിയെങ്കിലും ഇനിഷ്യലൈസ് ചെയ്തിട്ടില്ലേ അതോ ഫോർമാറ്റ് ചെയ്തിട്ടില്ലേ എന്നറിയാൻ ഡിസ്ക് മാനേജ്മെന്റ് (വിൻഡോസ്) അല്ലെങ്കിൽ ഡിസ്ക് യൂട്ടിലിറ്റി (മാകോസ്) പരിശോധിക്കുക.
  • നിങ്ങളുടെ കമ്പ്യൂട്ടറിലെ മറ്റൊരു USB പോർട്ടിലേക്ക് അഡാപ്റ്റർ ബന്ധിപ്പിക്കാൻ ശ്രമിക്കുക.
  • Test with a different hard drive if possible to rule out drive issues.
• കുറഞ്ഞ ട്രാൻസ്ഫർ വേഗത:
  • നിങ്ങളുടെ കമ്പ്യൂട്ടറിൽ ഒരു USB 3.0 പോർട്ടുമായി ബന്ധിപ്പിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ടെന്ന് ഉറപ്പാക്കുക. USB 2.0 പോർട്ടുകൾ വേഗത കുറയ്ക്കും.
  • 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.

7. പരിപാലനം

• അഡാപ്റ്റർ വൃത്തിയായും പൊടിയില്ലാതെയും സൂക്ഷിക്കുക.
• Store the adapter and cables in a dry, cool place when not in use.
• അഡാപ്റ്ററിനെ തീവ്രമായ താപനിലയിലോ ഈർപ്പത്തിലോ തുറന്നുകാട്ടുന്നത് ഒഴിവാക്കുക.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the adapter, as this will void the warranty.
