A:AnswerYes they can be paired. In my opinion they are superior because of the reliability factor. I use Samsung T5's as the storage media when I film movies many of which can be seen on Amazon Prime, Verizon Fios and Tubi as well as other streaming platforms
A:AnswerThat has more to do with your Samsung Tv and its capabilities than the hard drive. Easy way to check is connecting a different thumb drive or external drive and try to stream it
A:AnswerYes and no. You can use this with the Xbox Series X, but you can only play games that are not Series X enhanced games. So, you could use it to play older games. That's what I use it for.
A:AnswerI use it with my Samsung Galaxy s23 Ultra and I just plug it in and it works as an super fast external drive to write and read. But i didn't get an iPhone fire wire cable so I haven't tried it on my wives iPhone. Its USB-c.
A:AnswerI'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I installed Ubuntu Linux on it as a separate USB boot drive for my HP Laptop. Works great and is fast!
