    Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video!!! Super helpful, thoughtful, and refreshingly straightforward!
    Funny story, I was watching the video on my Mac, following along, and then when you shut down I shut down my system also! You can imagine my shock and embarrassment when the video seemed to abruptly end and I face palmed myself, lol 🤦‍♂️.
    Either way, thanks again so much for the video.

      Hi Tom, thank you for breaking down this process in detail. It worked for me! One follow up question. After you allow your MacBook to accept the Samsung device and it works properly, can you go back into recovery mode and switch back to “Full Security”? Is that preferred or will that cause further issues? Prefer to have better/full security active, but still want to be able to use the portable hard drive too. Thank you

    I was very close to smashing my brand new Samsung T7 in to pieces after being misled by an abundance of misinformation and I even made an unnecessary purchase, which did not resolve my issue. I followed this video, on my phone not on my Mac, step by step, and each and every step was dead on. My next step was to return the Samsung T7 to Best Buy for a refund. No need for that now.

    @radismadz Год назад +20

    For those who couldn't find the "Enable System Extensions", don't install it at the beginning or uninstall the software. Start with recovery mode instructions shown in the video and THEN install the Samsung software. It should then have a pop up/props asking to allow the software to be unblocked. Hope this helps!

    Holding the power button only didn't work for me.

    Worked perfect, thank you. Just got the new Mac mini M2 and installed the software for the SSD and initially the software worked no problem, Then I noticed that the Samsung Drive name on my desktop changed from T7 to 46i which I thought was weird. I then tried to open the Samsung software and it didn't work, said couldn't find. Not sure what happened.

    I knew the Samsung T7 Touch would have issues like this. What a pain. I had to have my new Mac and my old Mac going side by side just to watch the video and reboot and so on as I followed along. Mostly the same on new MacBook Pro M3 (December 2023). I would definitely not buy the Touch version of this drive again. I've been very happy with the regular Samsung T7 SSDs I've bought (two) and no issues. This was exactly as I figured it would be -- zero help from the Samsung site and a lot of wasted time. Thanks for the help. Samsung should pay you.

    Finally was able to get my T7 to work on my Macbook Air M2. Tried the method from this video to no avail, just wouldn't work. My workaround was to turn off the security/encryption on the T7. To do this I downloaded the "Samsung portable ssd 1.0" (Samsung Magician) from the Google Play Store and installed on my android phone. I was then able to disable the security/encryption on the T7. Works like a charm now on the Macbook (Ventura 13.4), albeit no security. I'm just grateful to have access to the data on my T7, so for me an acceptable outcome.
