Please check if your URBAN TAPSAFE is locked. The system cannot recognize the device while it is in a locked state. You can verify the current status via the LED indicator:
- Red Light: The device is locked. Please open the URBAN TAPSAFE App to unlock it.
- Blue Light: The device is unlocked and ready for use.

You can transfer ownership to a new phone via the URBAN TAPSAFE app.
Open the app-> Select "Add Drive"-> Enter your drive’s password-> Scan the drive via NFC. Ownership will automatically revoke from the previous device. (Please refer to the App User’s Guide for detailed operating steps)
- A：
This serial number acts as the master reset key for your URBAN TAPSAFE. Please store it securely. Because a reset cannot be performed without this number, it prevents unauthorized users from wiping or accessing your data if the device is lost or stolen.
- A：
New external SSDs need to be formatted in order for the system to read and write data. The NTFS file system is recommended for Windows system. However, the EXFAT file system is recommended for SE880 external SSD.
- A： Make sure the external SSD is securely connected to a USB port. Detection failure may be related to a faulty USB port. If possible, try connecting the external SSD to another USB port. If detection issues persist, please contact ADATA customer service.
- A： 1. Connect the drive to your Windows PC
2. Open the Disk Management tool. You can do that by typing "disk format" or "disk management" in Windows search or going to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Create and format hard disk partitions
3. Right-click on the external drive partition or the unallocated space you want to format and choose New Simple Volume
4. Follow instructions to choose a volume size
5. Assign a drive letter
6. Choose the file system in the Format Partition screen
7. Give the volume a new name
8. Click Next
9. Click Finish
10. Formatting complete - A： If the external SSD loses power or is unplugged in an unsecure manner, Windows may prevent files from being copied to it. This is a Windows protective measure associated with the file system and does not mean the external SSD has a technical issue. You can try resolving this using the following steps:
- Click the “Scan and Fix” notification that appears when you connect the external SSD to your PC
- If you closed the notification, right-click on the external SSD icon in the system tray (notification area) and use the “Run CHKDSK” command
- If the external SSD icon isn’t displayed in the system tray, open Explorer and select the external SSD, then right-click, Properties, Tools, Check - A： We recommend that you use the Safely Remove Device function before disconnecting the cable between the external SSD and your Android device. Failing to do this may cause copied files to become corrupted and unreadable.
- A： Most new TVs support photo, music, and video playback from external storage via USB. However, not all TVs support this function and file system compatibility may vary. When connecting the external SSD to a TV, please check the following:
- After connecting the external SSD to the TV USB port, check if the external SSD is recognized in the TV menu
- If it isn’t recognized, please refer to the TV user manual or contact the manufacturer to check for USB support
- If it is recognized, check that you can play videos and music and view photos stored on the external SSD without any issues
- In case content can’t be accessed, verify which file systems are supported by your TV for external storage. The external SSD is formatted using the NTFS file system by default
- Follow any prompts from your TV operating system relating to the external SSD formatting. Modern TVs will auto-format external storage to a supported file system
■Important: formatting will delete all data. Please backup your data before proceeding If the file system is supported but you still can’t access content, verify the file types and extensions supported by the TV. - A： The actual drive capacity displayed on your device will vary from external SSD physical capacity due to mandatory operating system formatting and partitioning. Typically, operating systems remove 10-20% of drive physical capacity. This means a 250GB external SSD will have around 232GB free once it is fully formatted and detected by a supported operating system
- A： Differences in size shown are mainly due to differences in computer operating systems, the calculation method for an external hard drive capacity, and the Controller IC’s operations result in different ways. Generally, hard disk manufacturers usually calculate capacity based on the decimal system, and computer systems are actually binary. Hard drive manufacturer: 1KB = 1000 Bytes, 1MB = 1000KB, 1GB = 1000MB, 1TB = 1000GB
Operating system: 1KB = 1024 Bytes, 1MB = 1024KB, 1GB = 1024MB, 1TB = 1024GB
So for example, a hard disk marked as 500GB capacity is 500GB = 500 x 1,000MB x 1,000KB x 1,000Bytes = 500,000,000,000 Bytes, but in binary the capacity is calculated as 500,000,000,000 Bytes / 1024KB / 1024MB / 1024GB, approximately 465GB.
Fastest method of calculation: the hard disk capacity x 0.93 = the approximate actual hard disk capacity - A： UASP stands for USB Attached SCSI Protocol. It combines SCSI commands and USB standards to accelerate data movement and make file transfers more efficient. If your device does not support UASP, you may update it from the device manufacturer website, as UASP functionality can be added via firmware or operating system update.
