System Requirements; Capacity Of T7 Displayed On The System - Samsung T7 Series User Manual

System Requirements

1. USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Interface Support
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a serial input/output interface standard for connecting
various devices. T7's data transfer speed is optimal with USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) and
using lower versions such as USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps), USB 2.0 and 1.1 may result in
lower performances due to interface limitations inherent in such lower versions.
* Performance may vary depending on user's system to which T7 is connected. Even when using USB
3.2 Gen 2 connections, T7 may not perform well if your system does not support UASP (USB Attached
SCSI Protocol). Please make sure that your system supports UASP.
2. Operating System Requirements
• Windows OS: Windows 7 or higher
• Mac OS: Mac OS X 10.10 or higher
• Android: Android Lollipop or higher
3. File Formats
T7 is pre-formatted in using exFAT file system which is supported by Windows OS,
Mac OS, and Android operating systems. Whether data formatted to a certain
format may be read or written to your computer vary depending on the OS, as
specified in the table below. If you use T7 on a single OS, it is recommended that you
format the T7 using the appropriate file format for that OS. (e.g.) Read/write
restrictions for file systems by each operating system.
File Formats
exFAT
NTFS
HFS
* When using exFAT across multiple operating systems, data writing may become locked and you
may only be able to read data. If such problem occurs, you can restore write access by following the
instructions below.
• Mac OS: Connect T7 to your Mac again, and perform Eject.
• Windows OS: When the notice pops up saying that write access is disabled, click "Scan and fix" to
perform Check Disk (CHKDSK). If you did shut down the notice without performing Check Disk, you
may do it by selecting the drive → Right-click → Properties → Tools → click Check.

Capacity of T7 Displayed on the System

The capacity reported by the system to which T7 is connected may differ from the
labeled capacity, due to the difference between the decimal and binary systems of
measurement and other factors including the drive's partitioning and blocking.
* e.g.: Windows OS: 1 GB = 1,024MB, Mac OS: 1GB = 1,000MB
