QuestionCan it store ps5 games and play ps5 games from the drive
Asked 3 years ago by Bee.
- Answer Bee: You can store PS5 games onto the drive. To play PS5 games, you need to copy game data from your USB extended storage drive back to your PS5 console's internal SSD storage. It’s much quicker to copy a PS5 game from USB extended storage than to re-download it. Should you have any questions or need assistance using this product, know we are always here to help.

QuestionWill this work as a Time Machine with a iMac Pro?
Asked 2 years ago by Belmontguy.
- Answer Yes! This will work with Time Machine! It will come formatted for Windows, but when you connect it to your iMac and choose it from the Select Disk button in the Time Machine utility, it will offer to reformat the drive for Time Machine backups. (Make sure you pick the correct drive and that it doesn’t contain any valuable data before you reformat).

Questioni just bought this to replace an old backup. it's installed but there are no settings other than password. how do i tell it to back up everything (program & data files) initially, then do a daily backup of any files i worked on? i have Windows 10
Asked 2 years ago by jim.
This question was asked about the related product: Samsung - T7 Shield 2TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Rugged SSD IP65 Water Resistant - Beige
- Answer Some drives used to come with backup software pre-loaded on the drive. This one doesn't. You'll have to either purchase a backup utility or use the built-in backup functionality of Windows 10. I believe that's in "Update and Security" - there should be a backup option there.

QuestionIs it compatible with the new iPhone 15 Pro, if it is compatible, would you need a special USB C cable or does it work with the one it comes with?
Asked 2 years ago by Yoyo.
- Answer The Samsung T5 drive worked for me on my iPhone 15 Pro. It can use the included cable, the only real issue was if you have a case on your iPhone that might block the USBC port. Recording in ProRes Log to the drive worked for me. The file sizes are huge though. The drive gets a good transfer rate as well.
