Q: QuestionCan I use this with ipad generation 10 to download some games

Asked 7 months ago by LANLI.

• A:Answer I can’t answer this question with any authority. As a minimum I think you would need some additional hardware in the way of an adapter and possibly a special cable. I say that because the Samsung drive requires power and I don’t think an iPad can supply to an external device.

Q: QuestionIs the Samsung T4 ssd (4000MB) compatible with Mac OS X 15.3.2 (Sequoia)?

Asked 7 months ago by Macabee.

This question was asked about the related product: Samsung - T7 4TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Portable SSD with Hardware Encryption - Titan Gray

• A:Answer Hello Macabee, I believe it should be compatible. I am planning to use my Samsung T4 to backup a rather antique white MacBook that is running Sierra 10.12.6, and it's supposed to be compatible. I had to get an adapter cable, as well, since my MacBook is USB 2.0 compatible. You could confirm this with Best Buy's Geek Squad to be sure. Best, Cynthia
