3.1 Troubleshooting
If your computer does not recognize the drive when it is connected, make sure
the cable is attached securely. You can also try plugging the cable into a dierent
Thunderbolt 3 port on your computer and/or trying a dierent Thunderbolt 3 cable.
PC users: if you have opened Disk Management but do not see the ThunderBlade
V4 SSDs listed, make sure you followed all the steps in Section 2.2 from the start.
Multiple permission steps are required for a PC to communicate properly with
Thunderbolt 3 SSDs; skipping one or more of those steps may result in the disks
not being visible in Disk Management.
