Answer: Most likely, the player’s file allocation table (FAT) has been corrupted. This might be due to the player shutting down (due to low battery power) while reading or writing to your computer by the USB connection. Windows and Macintosh often write extra files to the hard disk such as finder.def or System volume info. These are normal and will not do any harm to the player. Question 3 I used my player to transfer files back and forth between different computers.
Answer: Make sure there is a USB 3.0 host controller installed on your PC, the transmission speed is related with HDD itself and also the configuration of PC. Question8 Why is my USB storage drive not shown in the files manager menu? Answer: Try to use a shorter USB cable or plug in the power cable to your USB storage drive if it requires more power. We suggest that you do not plug in more than one USB storage drive at the same time.
