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!

I would like to encrypt my data. Can anyone say something about encryption. Is it simple, complicated, cumbersome to handle. Who has already tried it out. Thank you very much for your feedback.

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

Samsung Electronics GmbH Hello, Thank you for your message. We would like to help you further. It is not so much the hard disk used so far that is important, but rather the mainboard to which it is connected. If you would like to replace it with a faster SSD, please contact the manufacturer of your mainboard to find out what options are available. Kind regards from Schwalbach, Your Samsung Service Team

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).

Is this hard drive worth it as a backup medium for a Macbook? In the long run, I would like to use the hard drive as a normal storage medium and therefore I am willing to spend a little more on an SSD instead of an HDD, if it is worth it. My Macbook has 256GB and maybe a backup of my iPhone (max. 128GB) so I thought a 500GB SSD would be enough. What do you think?

Helpful answer

Yes, you can't go wrong with the T5. It's fast, compact and well made. I use mine almost every day and don't regret buying it for a second. I also really appreciate the USB-C port. Only you can answer whether the 500GB is enough. At the moment it seems to be enough for your purposes, but in most cases you will regret not having taken the larger one in 2-3 years.
