      Thank you for sharing with us that your iMac is not identifying your new T7 Portable SSD. We completely understand your frustrations, and we are here to help.

      Please uninstall the software and download the current version (Portable SSD Software 1.0 for Mac, Version 1.7.4) at:
      https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/tools/

      If you are still experiencing issues, this symptom may occur on some Mac OSXs due to the Apple policy that requires user approval when installing third-party software not directly distributed by Apple.

      Please follow these troubleshooting guidelines.
      You may see the “System Extension Blocked” message appears when installing the Samsung Portable SSD software, and the “No Samsung Portable SSD is connected” message appears when executing the Samsung Portable SSD software.
      Open “Security & Privacy” in “System Preferences” menu and click “Allow” next to the message “System software from developer “Samsung Electronics” was blocked from loading”

      If the symptom persists even after you follow these troubleshooting guidelines, please contact Samsung Customer Support.

    The Samsung T7 SSD is useless. Connected it to a Samsung Galaxy S22+ and immediately got a error message "A USB storage device was removed unsafely. To prevent your phone from restarting unexpectedly, unsaved data and restart now." There are no instructions and the SW is also useless. How does a tech giant like Samsung manufacture such garbage? I wish I could return it, but it's past 15 days.

      JoeK:

      I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your Samsung T7 SSD. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

      Check the Connection: Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the SSD and your computer. Try using a different USB port or cable to rule out any connection issues.

      Update Drivers: Outdated or corrupted drivers can prevent your SSD from being detected. Check for updates in the Device Manager under "Disk drives" and "Universal Serial Bus controllers".

      Initialize the SSD: If the SSD is new, it might need to be initialized. Open Disk Management, find your SSD, right-click it, and select "Initialize Disk".

      Check BIOS Settings: Ensure that your BIOS settings are configured to recognize the SSD. You may need to enable the SSD in the BIOS menu.

      Update Firmware: Outdated firmware can cause compatibility issues. The latest downloadable Samsung Tools & Software can be found here:
      https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/tools/

      Should you need assistance with troubleshooting, please contact Samsung Customer Support:

      1) Call: 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Memory). Available 9AM - 12AM EST (Mon-Fri)

Samsung support recommended using drive without encryption and password…it’s the only reason I spent more on the T7.

      Thank you for sharing your review of Samsung’s T7 SSD. We’re sorry your experience didn’t match your expectations.

      The M1 chip is Apple’s own design - while it is extremely powerful and power efficient, this is not a Samsung SSD issue, but rather a USB I/O compatibility issue.

    Samsung Portable SSD T7

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought a product that was compact and had significant memory - and Samsung Portable SSD T7 1TB hit the mark. The device is very user-friendly, as you simply plug in the UBS cord to the computer and portable hard drive. I used the portable drive to back up my entire computer, and I used less than 30% of the available space on the drive. Bottom line: this device is easy to use, functional, has a lot of capacity, and copies folders and files relatively quickly. Samsung could have provided a sleeve or case to protect the portable harddrive.
