Ensure the USB cable is securely connected. Try using a different USB port or cable. Check if the drive appears in your computer's disk management tool. If not, try connecting to another computer to rule out hardware issues.
Use the Transcend Elite software, which is designed for data backup and synchronization. Install the software from Transcend's website, and follow the instructions to set up automated backups.
Unusual noises could indicate a failing drive. Immediately back up your data and run diagnostic software to check for errors. Contact Transcend support if the problem persists.

Visit the Transcend website and download the latest firmware for your model. Follow the instructions provided in the download package to update your firmware safely.
