FAQ
-
Q: Why is the speed of reading and writing data on the downstream USB HUB interface slow?
A: This product has undergone rigorous testing. Under normal read and write conditions, the read and write speed of the hard disk can reach the standard transmission speed of USB 5Gbps. If the reading and writing speed is slow, please confirm whether the connected host USB port/storage device/data cable has reached the USB 5Gbps version. -
Q: Why can’t the connected USB device be recognized, or disconnected during use?
A: 1. Please check whether the interface on the Host side is working normally; -
It may be caused by the insufficient power supply of the USB interface due to the excessive power of your connected USB peripherals. It is recommended to connect the power adapter when using this type of product, or connect the product to PD charging to ensure sufficient power supply.
-
Q: After connecting a new external USB hard drive, why can’t I find the mobile hard drive or the corresponding drive letter in Steam Deck?
A: Because the Steam Deck desktop mode is based on Linux, please format the external USB storage device in advance with the file system format supported by Linux, otherwise it may not be able to output the disk, which is not a malfunction of this product. -
Q: How to protect the hard disk and data, and realize safe exit?
A: When you want to remove the mobile hard disk without shutting down the operating system, in order to protect your hard disk and data from damage, it is recommended that users safely remove the USB peripheral through the system, choose to eject the disk device, and then remove equipment.

Note
- Since the standard power supply of Steam Deck is only 45W, the semiconductor cooling power of this product needs to be about 15W. The standard 45W power supply is not enough for Steam Deck and semiconductor cooling devices to work at the same time, so when using the built-in 45W power supply, you need to use a separate connect an external 5V2-3A USB power adapter to the USB-C DC port for power supply.
- When using a third-party PD power supply greater than 61W(not included) , this product can automatically deduct 15W for the use of the semiconductor cooler. Users can choose to connect or not connect the external USB-C according to the power of the peripherals connected to the downstream USB HUB DC power supply, the greater the power of the PD power supply, the more sufficient the power supply.
- Although USB devices support hot plugging, when using storage devices such as U disks and mobile hard disks, try to remove the devices safely from the system before unplugging them to avoid data loss.
- When using a USB device with high power, if the USB device is equipped with a power adapter, please connect the adapter to power it to prevent unrecognized or unstable work caused by insufficient power supply.
- Since this product adopts semiconductor refrigeration technology, the min temperature is around 8°C. If no Steam Deck is placed on it to reduce the temperature to offset the temperature difference, condensed water may be generated due to the large temperature difference.
- Do not place the product in a humid or high temperature environment.
