Questions about Samsung Portable SSD T3

Although the 2TB model was tested here, the values should not change much with the 1TB variant. http://www.anandtech.com/show/10057/samsung-portable-ssd-t3-review/3 => Read 360MB/s, write 290 MB/s

A USB-C to USB-A cable is included in the scope of delivery. So if you need USB-C to USB-C, don't forget to order it at the same time.

That depends on the formatting of the SSD. - Windows uses NTFS by default. - Mac uses HFS+ - Linux mostly uses ext4 If the SSD is formatted as FAT32 (with a tool, e.g. fat32format), you will probably have the least problems, but also the restriction that the individual file can only be a maximum of 4 GiB in size. If you format the SSD as NTFS, you will need to install additional software in MacOS to be able to use this SSD.

I use the SSD on a notebook (Asus GX700VO) and there as a "data hard drive"! Unfortunately, the notebook only has 2 NVMe (M.2) slots where the system and the programmes are on it (in RAID 0)! The Samsung SSD is connected via USB-C and fully meets my requirements for a "data partition"! The Asus notebook is stationary and therefore the permanently connected SSD is absolutely no problem! Regarding the question: You will never be able to reach the speed of the built-in SSD of your MacBook Pro with it, because it is connected similarly to my Asus. In your case it's a proprietary PCIe connection, which is certainly comparable to M.2 but not compatible! You can't get to it with "USB" even if it is "USB-C"! Nevertheless, I think you can achieve what you want with it!

I copy my data (documents, photos, etc.) from the PC with Windows 7 Professional to the SSD T3. I can view photos both from the PC and from the Samsung Galaxy S7 EDGE.

When the SSD T3 is only plugged in, it needs practically no power. If I copy a large file, then the power consumption on my Surface 2 increases from 8 watts to about 16 W. If a large file is copied internally, the power consumption increases to about 13 W. This means that the SSD needs about 3 watts when reading/writing, and almost nothing else.

Hello Devilpbox It is recognised in My Computer as a local data carrier. Greetings

Here are the compatible Android Devices: http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/product/portable/t3/ all the way down at the bottom Hope this helps kind regards

Although the performance would allow this without any problems, many game softwares advise against it, or even prevent the outsourcing of files to external drives. I would therefore advise against it.

Hello Pepelnar1963. Actually, it should work with a USB adapter or cable with OTG. However, as far as I know, only on Android devices or Samsung. Have a look at the video on the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7n5g2ar3ngI Have fun

No. But you can install it and remove the existing HDD.

The internal SSD of the MacBook Pro is equipped with at least SATA3 (6GB/s), USB 3.1 has 1200MB/s max. theoretical throughput. This means that the SSD of the MBP will certainly perform better, but the 1200MB/s could be enough for a smooth fast forward. Since I don't own Final Cut Pro or the SSD, I can't tell you for sure if this is really enough for a smooth feeling...

Hello, I don't think so, the ssd speed will reach its limits before the usb 3.0 :) so it won't change much

Hello, cannot be answered like that. Do you have a digicam with a USB port that supplies enough power and supports external hard drives at all? What kind of camera (brand/model etc) do you have?

Just plug it into a Windows 7 computer, wait for it to mount, create a folder in it and that's it.

I do not own a T3 myself. According to the reviews, the hard drive connection is USB-C. A USB-C to USB-A cable is included. Ergo, you would have to buy a separate full USB-C cable.

Although these discs have a USB-C port, they come with a short USB-C to USB-3 cable. So you don't need an additional adapter.

Yes, this hard drive works beautifully with your Surface Pro 4.

Yes, this should be possible. Check the specifications for DVR functions on your TV (usually in the operating instructions).

Yes, it works perfectly and quickly.

Cable with type A plug is included.

Depends on what kind of SSD you use otherwise. According to the manufacturer, the SSD can achieve a read speed of up to 450MB/s via USB3.1. It is possible to install Steam games, as long as you can define the path for the storage location in Steam. However, I cannot tell you whether this is recommended.
