6. ట్రబుల్షూటింగ్

నెమ్మదిగా పనితీరు:

If you experience slower-than-expected performance, consider the following:

• SATA Port: Ensure the SSD is connected to a SATA III (6 Gb/s) port on your motherboard for maximum speed. Connecting to an older SATA II port will limit performance.
• డ్రైవర్లు: Verify that your motherboard's SATA drivers are up to date.
• TRIM స్థితి: Check if TRIM is enabled for your SSD.
• సిస్టమ్ వనరులు: Other system components (CPU, RAM) can impact overall performance. Ensure they are not bottlenecks.

డ్రైవ్ గుర్తించబడలేదు:

If the SSD is not detected by your system:

• కేబుల్ కనెక్షన్లు: Double-check that the SATA data and power cables are securely connected to both the SSD and the motherboard/power supply.
• BIOS/UEFI సెట్టింగ్‌లు: Enter your system's BIOS/UEFI settings and ensure the SATA port the SSD is connected to is enabled.
• Initialization/Formatting: For new drives, ensure it has been initialized and formatted via Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS).
