    Have used and love these for some time now, all the way back to the T5 when it was quite expensive. As the prices began to drop, I got more and now have 4 or them, two 5's and two 7's. My only limitation is that my computers don't have the 3.2 usb, but these are still much faster than the hard drives and so small that they are a breeze to work with and transfer data between my computers and cameras. I love them!

    @lasinmt106 Рік тому

    I'm very late to this party by at least 3 years. I am just figuring out how to use external drives. Like as in I bought this T7 a week ago but now what? Anyway you mentioned you use these for back up. But on the Q/A page on Samsung site they state this device can not be used as a back up. Copy paste from their site:
    Does the Portable SSD T7 Touch support data backup software?
    No. The T7 Touch does not provide a data backup solution.
    One of the reasons I decided to try this out is I just loss a lot of files when my older PC died 5 weeks ago. So I'm scrambling to update my PC world and catch up to technology to a degree anyway. And of course had hoped to use this as a quick back up set up too precious work. I'm also confused can you actually load programs to the T7 and run them and build files on the T7 while working through your computer? So when you unconnect and take the SSD to another PC you can resume where you left off. One of the things I'd like to do is share files and designs with a friend who designs and uses the same digitalizing software programs as I do. We like to share back and forth and when I've developed an intricate design ready to print or cut with digital cutting machines it would be great if we could do it by taking this device back and forth instead of our computers. We are neighbors but come WINTER in NW Montana something this size would be far more easy to share back and forth than our PCs' and having to connect them to the others printers and cutting machines. In other words hoping to design on this device through my PC & unplug and carry to her house and plug into her PC and she's all set up with her printers and her cutters. We share the same cutters and same software programs but not same printers. I'm more portable than she is to a degree. But I also have an inkjet, laser and inkjet converted to sublimation printers on my PC and also I print via a connection at our home to my husbands two printers as will. So we thought this might be the way to continue to share our designs and make changes to them. Example a design I finished but is personalized she can access then and change words or names to fit her family and friends. She's looking at getting her own SSD same as mine different color so we easily ID which belongs where. That brings up another question can we clone one SSD T7 to another so we are twins using twin programs and systems only different computers and of course even though some of the external devices like the digital cutters are identical our printers are not. It all sounds complicated but it's what we want. And of course not everything one wants is reality these days. (If that was the case I would roll the world back to XP or earlier when you didn't pay for office or Photoshop as in yearly rentals. I just invested in a Microsoft Surface Pro 8 because it's one of the very few tablet style devices that is compatible with the software for a new digital cutter. Turned out my tablet only a year old is not compatible. This is an expensive update to have a semi-tablet/laptop just to be compatible a specific device. But my W10 Lenova laptop less than 2 years old also failed to run the device. It can upload and work the program but won't connect to the device itself. True the cricut brand is the problem here as they are not bothering to broaden their wares so to speak to fit a more realistic world. My friend is using her phone because her computer like mine did not run the device too but her phone does. So we so are hoping with the use of a pair of the SSD T7's we'll find a win win avenue to success. And of course I will share the Surface Pro between us too until we can figure out what other computers or tablets run the device not just the software program. It's all confusing and very frustrating. Anyway I was thinking I understood in part that I could use the T7 as a back up system too. Now that's in question & until I find a definitive or clear answer I'm on hold investing in a second T7 SSD for my personal use only.

    • @CharlesCabrera
      @CharlesCabrera  Рік тому

      Hello, you have quite a use case for your T7. But think of the T7 just like any other drive you have installed internally. You should be able to install and run programs on the T7 and move and run on another computer as long as the software is compatible across operating systems. I suggest you test this with a program and a small sample of data to see if your vision is going to work the way you want it too
