FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
Q: Can I use this hub with my Microsoft Surface Book 2?
A: Yes. First, check that your device has a USB-C port. If it does, the hub
is compatible — it works with multiple systems including Windows,
macOS, and more.
Q: Why can’t my M.2 SSD in the hub’s slot allow writing in macOS, even
though it works fine in Windows?
A: macOS may not support writing to NTFS drives by default.
Format your SSD to exFAT for full read/write access in both macOS
and Windows.
You can also install third-party NTFS drivers on macOS if you
want to keep NTFS format.
Q: The M.2 enclosure is not recognized after connecting — what should
I do?
A: Open the hub, remove the SSD, and reinstall it, ensuring the position
and pins are aligned. If it is a brand-new SSD, format it first following
the steps in the manual.
On macOS, install NTFS drivers if you are using NTFS format.
Q: Is there a sleep setting for this enclosure? Will my SSD stop data
transfer automatically?
A: The hub includes an SSD On/Off Switch. Turn OFF the SSD when not in
use to prolong its life. If your computer is actively reading/writing (e.g.,
during file transfer or antivirus scans), it will not automatically sleep.
Q: Can the USB-C data port be used for video output?
A: No. The USB-C data port is for data transfer only. For video, use the
HDMI output port.
Q: How can this hub achieve 85W power delivery charging?
A: Use a USB-C wall charger and a USB-C to USB-C cable that both
support 100W PD charging.
This hub expands your device’s connectivity with 8 versatile ports,
including an M.2 SSD slot for instant storage expansion.
