User questions & answers

Question:	What am i missing, when i plug it in, nothing happens - my computer doesn't show it at all. do i need to download something
Answer:	I have two of these and am about to get a third. No, you don't need to download anything (at least on windows and linux computers). I reformat mine to NTFS because I switch between OS's. One thing to note the usb "A" adapter is "notched" and will only fit on one way completely, you probably got a bad one, it happens, send it back if no luck.
Question:	Can I use this to backup my PC AND also save files from my macbook? Id like to save files from both on one HD?!?! (2012 macbook & HP Desktop
Answer:	Basically, my home setup is an all-Mac setup. What I did immediately after I got it out of the box was to format it and partition it 200 GB HFS+ and 800 GB APFS. The HFS+ partition is used for Time Machine, and the APFS partition has four volumes (capacity is allocated dynamically between volumes within the APFS partition). How I would use this in a mixed environment: one HFS+ partition for Time Machine (you can't use APFS partitions for Time Machine); one APFS partition for the files that will be used only with a Mac; and one ExFAT partition for instances where you need to be able to access the file in Windows and on a Mac. Also, make sure you keep that USB-C to USB-A connector that comes with the drive; it comes with about a 6-inch cable with USB-C connectors at both ends.
Question:	Is this drive good for running an OS from
Answer:	YES! I have 2 that I use for this, be aware you may have to change your system setup to use, On mine I have to change SATA controller mode to AHCI from RAID and UEFI to Legacy support and boot priority to Legacy first (Lenovo). Once you have those setting fixed you will be amazed how fast it will run. I run fedora on a 1TB for storage and Fedora Securrity Spin on a 500 GB drive to use to recover data and fix customers machines. I have also run CentOS and Linux Mint with no issues.
Question:	Can you please tell me if this storage is in Solid state or is it a spinning disc? Thank you
Answer:	The name of this item is: "Sandisk Portable SSD (SOLID STATE Drive)"......... That clearly means it's NOT SOLID STATE. No they're/I am just joking. In all serious-ness though: it is indeed a "Solid State drive" with no moving/spinning disks.

User questions & answers

Question:	I just bought i want to use with an imac and a pc should i plug it in when i get it to imac first and if i do can i drag pc files to it after
Answer:	I would do a clean format of it on the imac first, you can choose exFAT (it will work on both PC and mac) or you can choose Mac OS Extended (HFS+) which is more stable than exFAT, but you will need software on your PC to read/write to the drive. If the PC is your main machine I would just choose exFAT.
Question:	How long is the usb cable
Answer:	Measured at 16 inches.
Question:	Should the cable go in smoothly, or does it kind of snap in and need some pull to come out? Just got mine and wondering if that is normal
Answer:	The first one I got the cable did not fit well and Samsung replaced the drive. The second one has been fine
Question:	If i use this drive on my 2012 imac with usb 3.0, will the transfer speeds be less than 540mb/s
Answer:	Your iMac has USB 3.0 which is also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1. That has about half the theoretical maximum transfer rate of USB 3.1 Gen 2, which is the interface used by this drive. On the upside, it is still fully compatible with USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 and while the transfer rate you’ll experience will be lower than if you had a computer with Gen 2 USB, it really isn’t that much slower in actual use. If you’re moving from any spinning platter drive to an SSD regardless of the interface you were using with the platter drive, you will see a HUGE performance improvement using this external SSD drive.

User questions & answers

Question:	Just for clarification, this 1tb version will work if i plug it into my S8+ without any additional hardware to retrieve and transer files? Thank you
Answer:	2 USB Ports, C-Port, HDMI, and SD
Question:	Can i boot windows 10 directly using boot camp if i connect it to my mbp? im running out of storage on my mac so i don’t want to partitin&useboot camp
Answer:	No. You can transfer with a flash drive.
Question:	Will this ssd work as a external hard drive for ps
Answer:	Which os and service pack or kernel level are you using, if linux based. also let me know the model of your laptop, onto which its installed.. mine works great on a dell latitude E6320, also crosscheck your ATA/AHCI settings on bios. any cloning utility used..? or fresh installs?
Question:	I am running mac os catalina. if i reformat the drive, will it erase the cache that’s built into the drive
Answer:	I tried it in a usb3 dock and didn't get nearly the performance others get hooking directly to sata. About 80Mbps average write speed backing up to capacity with HD video projects. Started out at around 270Mbps but that only lasted the 1st 20 sec or so. I get closer to 100Mbps average throughout with 7200 rpm Seagate laptop drives of same form factor and size. eSata might be a better bet and you won't need an enclosure... no circuitry is exposed as is.

User questions & answers

Question:	The "compare" of this t7 lists both usb 3.2 and usb 3.1 in the specs, so which is correct
Answer:	Hello Alana and thank you for your inquiry. You get a double sided tortilla holder, so you get both colors, one on each side. If you have any additional questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. We’re happy to help.
Question:	what if the fingerprint scanner stop working? Would Samsung recover my data/ replace the finger print reader
Answer:	Yes it is made in Sinaloa, Mexico
Question:	Is there software that needs to be installed on pc/mac
Answer:	No
Question:	Does this work for the xbox one x
Answer:	I guess you could call it insulated. I baked a sweet potato in the microwave and put it inside the tortilla warmer to keep it warm while I was grilling my salmon. It was still hot when I pulled it out to add butter. I made a couple of burritos and put them inside the warmer so one would not get cold while I was eating the other. It was still very warm when I pulled it out of the warmer.

User questions & answers

Question:	Usb 2.0. Support
Answer:	18.75” cord. My unit came with a sturdy cord. If using o. A Mac you will need a UCB- c adapter.
Question:	What is the warranty? i can't find any info on it at seagate except that there isn't a warranty via seagate based on the serial number i entered
Answer:	After the newest update, Windows 10 will not support Image backups. This happen on 3 Win 10 computers. The error messages leads you to the fact Windows wants you to use 3rd party backup software. There are many free software programs that will do that, but you need an external drive. Not sure about the file backup in Windows 10, basically that's just a cop and paste program. The free image programs will backup folders too.
Question:	Can you use this for PS
Answer:	How to format for PS4: Head to Settings > Devices > USB Storage Devices and select your external hard drive. Select Format as Extended Storage and tap X. Select Next and tap X. Select Format and tap X. Select Yes and tap X. Select Okay and tap X.
Question:	How many hours of music can this hold
Answer:	3 differences: 1. The size of the casing for this drive is smaller. 2. It does not have rubber stomps on the bottom to keep it from sliding. 3. The operation light is smaller. Other than that, it's the same: USB3 and NTSF.
