Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, connect high-power devices through their dedicated power sources when possible and avoid overloading all USB ports simultaneously with multiple power-hungry peripherals. Use good quality HDMI and Ethernet cables to ensure stable video and network signals. When transferring large files, connect external drives to ports that support the highest available data rate and confirm the host supports 5 Gbit/s transfer speeds.
