How to install Kanguru UltraLock USB-C M.2 NVMe External SSD

• Unpack and identify the Kanguru UltraLock drive and the included USB-C cable. If the product includes accessories or a protective cap, remove the cap and ensure the cable is in good condition.
• Connect the USB-C end of the cable to the UltraLock drive and the other end to a USB-C port on your computer. For compatibility with older devices, you can also use a USB-C to USB-A adapter if needed, but for maximum performance, use a USB-C port.
• Power on is typically not required for external SSDs; the drive should power through the USB connection once connected. If your system requires power negotiation, let the operating system recognize the device—it may appear as a new drive in File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (macOS).
• If prompted by your operating system, initialize or format the drive according to your needs. For first-time use, you may choose a file system suitable for your workflow (NTFS/exFAT for Windows, APFS/macOS Extended for Mac, or exFAT for cross-platform use).
• Enable the write-protect switch when you want to prevent accidental writes. When you need to modify files, toggle the switch off, complete your data transfer, and return it to the protect position to secure the drive again.
• Safely eject the drive from your computer before unplugging to ensure data integrity. Reconnect when needed to resume work without interruption.
