It contains a copy of the Samsung encryption software, but mine is signed with an expired certificate, so I went to the official website to download the latest.Īs planned, I set up the software first, which on macOS installs a kernel extension and a SamsungPortableSSD.app. The drive by default uses Master Boot Record (MBR), with one partition of exFAT format, for compatibility with most devices. Of course, only the C-to-C cable can take advantage of the speed of the SSD via the fast USB 3.1 Gen 2 transfer speed, and that's the whole point of this thing. The drive itself has a USB-C socket, and comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable as well as a USB-C to USB-A cable. Only when it comes have I realized this little beast is the size of my palm, but can contain 2TB of data.
