QuestionCan this be used to clone an iMac internal hard drive and used as the boot disk? I've looked into the procedure to do this and am looking for a good SSD for this purpose. They put very slow hard drives in 2019 iMacs.

QuestionCan you use this as your backup device drive using windows 10 pc software. Or is it only for copying other files off drives.
Asked 5 years ago by nick.
This question was asked about the related product: Samsung - T7 2TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Portable SSD with Hardware Encryption - Metallic Red
- Answer Yes, This is a very fast drive. I have 2 T7s, one red, one blue, and use it for full backups of 1 MAC and 1 Windows 10 Pro laptop. Both have a recovery drive so I can boot and do a full recovery. Did I say fast? If you plug into a Thunderbolt or USB 3.1 port, it is very, very fast. The T7s are faster than my Samsung T5 1TB external USB drive. I can boot into my MAC backup (using CCC) and run it like it was my main boot drive. Love these T7s from Samsung. I am always watching the price and will buy another one when the price drops.

QuestionIs it compatible with Macbook 12-in Retina 2017 with OS 10.15?
Asked 4 years ago by blg124.
This question was asked about the related product: Samsung - T7 2TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Portable SSD with Hardware Encryption - Titan Gray
- Answer I am using it for a 2020 MacBook Pro, 1TB is partitioned as a backup drive and 1TB is formatted in exFAT, so I can share files between my Mac machines and my Windows machines. For general computer stuff it works great. I would just say when you initially plug it in to your Mac, delete all the software that comes with the Drive and use your Mac’s built in hard drive software to format and partition, and it should work just fine for you.

QuestionCan it handle working with a 140GB virtual machine in it?
Asked 3 years ago by Yari.
This question was asked about the related product: Samsung - T7 2TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Portable SSD with Hardware Encryption - Titan Gray
- Answer The Samsung T7 External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Portable SSD should be able to handle working with a 140GB virtual machine (VM) stored on it. The T7 SSD has a fast read and write speeds of up to 1,050 MB/s and 1,000 MB/s respectively, which makes it an ideal storage device for large files and intensive applications. However, it's worth noting that the performance of the T7 SSD may be affected by the hardware and software specifications of the device it's connected to. If you're using an older computer or a device with slower processing power, you may experience slower data transfer speeds and longer load times when working with large files like a 140GB virtual machine. That being said, the T7 SSD is still a reliable and high-performance external storage device, and it should be able to handle most storage needs, including working with large files and virtual machines.

QuestionCan I use this to back up photos on my iphone12? If so, do I need to purchase a special cable?
Asked 4 years ago by BD.
- Answer You can’t do that directly but you can through a computer, I.e. the SSD does not connect directly to the iPhone but to the computer. You connect the iPhone to the computer, the SSD to the computer, and then transfer the files to the SSD just as if you were transferring to the computer’s internal hard drive.

QuestionIf I plug this in to my desktop that only has USB 3.0, how slow will the read write speeds be? Would it still be worth the purchase?
Asked 5 years ago by BOB.
- Answer Bob, the ports speeds between 3.0 vs 3.1 is 2X. So speeds will always be dependent on the port and the processor speeds of the device it's plugged into. The max read/write speeds of the Samsung T7 are 1,050/1,000MB/s, respectively. Hope this helps

QuestionCan you use it with a pc and then switch it into a ps5 and the data from the pc won’t be deleted
Asked 4 years ago by Orip.
This question was asked about the related product: Samsung - T7 1TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Portable SSD with Hardware Encryption - Indigo Blue
- Answer If you are referring to use it for games and other data on the PC, you can't as the format PS5 uses is different from what PC reads. You should be able to look at photos that's on the drive, but in terms of using it to play games from, your PS5 won't be able to until you format the drive for your PS5 which erases any data on the drive.

QuestionCan this be used as a network drive connected to a router?
Asked 11 months ago by CPS.
This question was asked about the related product: Samsung - T7 4TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Portable SSD with Hardware Encryption - Titan Gray
- Answer CPS: While the T7 is compatible and will work with routers, its intended use is not as a network drive. The Samsung T7 SSD is a portable USB 3.2 external SSD, and while it’s not designed to be a network drive by default, you can use it as a network-accessible drive if your router supports USB storage sharing. - Samsung Memory
