Hello
I bought the 500GB version ... it is super easy to encrypt.
On the SSD is a partition that can be read without encryption, on it is a small software from Samsung! with this you can decrypt or encrypt the rest of the partition, you only need a password which you can configure during the first use!
Even if it seems complicated now, it takes about a minute to put the SSD into operation!
Everything is super simple!
Kind regards
Unfortunately, iPhones do not support such a function. With a Huawei it would work, but an iPhone they can only back up via iTunes or iCloud at this point.
Kind regards

Hello together
I already have several such SSD. The following question increasingly arises: How can I easily attach (and also detach) the SSD to the laptop so that it doesn't hang around? It is very inconvenient if the cable comes out while working on large files.
Of course, there is always the option of Velcro, but it is awkward because the Velcro then also gets caught elsewhere, magnets are more of a problem with the memory, large-surface adhesive pads are problematic because of the thermals (sticking to the monitor, for example).
What approaches have you found so far?
Many thanks and best regards!
Unfortunately, my Panasonic TV OLED with a USB 3.0 interface cannot connect to the Samsung SSD T5. The SSD is recognised in the device list, recordings are possible, but in playback mode the message appears: "The selected USB device cannot be accessed, check if the device is connected correctly". It is connected correctly. Could it be that the USB 3.1 of the SSD is not recognised correctly by the TV? Or what else could be the reason that the SSD does not work as a recorder? (The formatting of the SSD was carried out correctly according to Panasonic specifications).
According to the manufacturer, the T5 has the following specifications (data as of 12.07.2019)
Model number MU-PA1T0B
External USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 (UASP) interface
Connection cable Type-C to Type-C (46.5 cm); Type-C to Type-A (46.5 cm)
Internal interface mSATA (SATA 6 Gb/s)
NAND flash TLC (3D V-NAND V4, 64 layers)
Speed specification read/write (manufacturer) 540/k.A. MByte/s
Formatting (factory setting) exFAT
Capacity: Manufacturer / Windows data storage management 1,000 / 931.51 GByte
Encryption 256 Bit AES
Firmware MVT42P1Q_0408_010604
Software Samsung Portable SSD Software (Windows, macOS, Android)
As a rule, this is due to the file system of a hard disk. Apple usually uses a different format than Microsoft. Microsoft's standard today is probably NTFS. You can connect the hard disk to a real PC (with Windows ;) and click on it with the right mouse button and click on "Format...". Then you can choose which file system to use.
With FAT32 it should work. But be careful: FAT32 has a limit per file, I meant just under 4GB (per file!).
New Macs should also support Windows formats, but if changing the file format doesn't help, the problem is probably the USB connection. The best thing is to connect it to a PC (with Windows) and see if everything works.
If you don't want to try it out, there are often hard drives that are already pre-formatted for Mac. Here is a link to such HDDs from Digitec: https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/producttype/externe-festplatte-114?tagIds=76-535&pdo=16-8766%3A445828
