      Are these Samsung portable SSD drives available in Samsung stores?
      Also, I'm surprised how affordable these portable SSDs from Samsung are. I thought the 1TB to cost around $500 and the 2TB cost around $600. Clearly I was wrong, I didn't expect it cost around $120 for the 1TB and around $260 for 2TB.
      I think I'll go for the 2TB variant.

      I have to get 1 of these. There are 2 Huge albums on My Samsung Note 8 that for some reason will not open on my Laptop for me to backup...
      Question, Will I be able to Copy or Move Photos from This Samsung Drive to my Seagate Drive? That would be great & save me a lot of Time from Backing up manually like I've been doing.
      Hopefully this will work for My New Note 20 Ultra as well.

    When disconnecting the SSD T7 from phone you need to go into my files and eject external storage correctly, just like you would any normal micro sd card. Pulling out the USB cable from phone the way Saki did in this video will put your phone/SSD at risk of being damaged which is why Saki got that pop up notification on his phone telling him to restart his phone the moment he unsafely pulled out the USB type C from phone.

I got the message to restart me device an put th sd card into my tablet since I have to turn my s20 FE in as exchange for new s21. Should I remove it correctly from my tablet and reinstall in the phone as a do over? Just learned how to download to an external hard drive but did it on a laptop where the files wee selected. This looks so much easier and faster!

    I remember over a decade ago having to regularly back up my phones to an external storage device. Due to the advances in SD card technology, incidentally Samsung played a significant part in these advances, we could back up to a high capacity memory card conveniently located inside the phone. Now after over 10 years we are back to this !
    Progress or regress ?

    • @Deadlines-X
      @Deadlines-X 2 года назад

      I think its because u can't backup and restore from an sd card in the phone since there's stuff on the internal, not to mention u can't put sd cards in phones nowadays so it makes sense.

    • @thebritons
      @thebritons 2 года назад +5

      I was just watching he intro thinking the same thing. I chose my S10+ because of the expandable memory and 3.5mm jack as the deciding features. I am hoping to enjoy it through the plague and maybe longer.

    • @michellemoyers1092
      @michellemoyers1092 2 года назад +6

      I agree. I was excited to get my S20 FE last year with expandable storage and most of the features of the more expensive phones. Now the "upgrade" is a smaller device with less storage and no sd slot. (And no charger to boot.) I like the flexibility of having an sd card, and can have multiple even, for storing different things. I just bought an external hard drive to download everything since there isnt enough space on the new device, and would be looking at paying for the cloud forever, or have multiple accounts to split up the files to save for free. I have avoided iphones for the very reason of no expandable storage. I don't want to be forced to upload everything to the cloud or be stuck without space. 😕

      Regression, in my opinion. One of the selling points for me when buying a phone was the expandable memory. Since it appears the Note 22, I mean, the S 22 Ultra won't have that I'm considering not upgrading but sticking with my Note 9.

      Not sure thats even possible. I though i backed up my phone with the samsung cloud before sending my phone to service but come to find that samsung cloud doesnt backup the gallery, notes, or secure folder or even app data from third party apps. The only thing it does do is save your home screen layout, apps youve downloaded excluding the data within those, and sms messages... like what even is the point with this then. Make sure to setup your google backup and then go manually connect it to your gallery if you want to keep your photos and memories, same with the notes app.

My phone's backup size was 341GB and when I first plugged in the Samsung SSD and selected everything in the backup, it said it would take 20+ hours to complete t he backup.
    I started the backup and very soon, the remaining time started to come down. In the end the full backup (341 GB) took only 46 minutes to complete as opposed to the original 20+ hours.

      Did you transfer using samsung switch? I transfer from samsung to samsung and it saved my wall papers along with all my phone settings. Everything transferred over seamlessly.

      I wondered that too.
      If you have a start-up lock. All storage on the phone is encrypted, including the SD card.

      I guess it need to be moved to phone from Secure folders. Secure folder makes it Secured in to the phone and only accessed by the user.

      Don't know about externally but there is cloud backup option for Secure Folder. Up to 15GB(For me maybe).

    I tried doing this today with what I had on hand. A SilverStone Technology M.2 SATA SSD to USB 3.1 Gen 2 Enclosure w/500GB card. The first try the Drive light lit and everything seemed to be working just fine. The drive light went out after awhile, but everything seemed to be ok. Got done and there was nothing on the drive. By 'nothing' I mean no additional files. So thinking maybe the phone didn't have enough juice to keep the drive alive I introduced a docking adapter to provide power to the USB and phone and ran it again. Same process, same result. The drive light only stayed on for awhile before going out. But the process went on as if it was working. Did this twice with two different docking adapters.
    Got any idea why this wouldn't work?

      I tried several things that did not work. I got down to the point of plugging a 64GB card into my phone and it still didn't work. I got an error message saying it was going to backup 29GB and there was not enough space available. I even tried selecting one item to test it. The only backup I was was able to get was to the SD card plugged permanently into the phone for extra storage. And that is a 64GB as well.

    If anyone could help. If you sync your files and photos to Onedrive on S24 Ultra, if you were then to backup the phone with smart switch, do you backup the files and photos too even if they are already synced? Thank you.
