[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1810599, member: 234411"] @ [B]Charlie & Others[/B] - well, several of my BU external HDs have been going for 5 years now and decided to look at some replacements - went to B&H in NYC and ordered the two below which arrived today - wanted to try a SSD and bought the one discussed above; also, I wanted to try a Glyph HD - purchased a smaller sized USB bus driven option - the drive is much smaller w/ the 'rubberized' cover removed; also was formatted in HFS+ so ready to go for a TM BU. BUT, the Samsung was formatted as ExFAT, which I converted to HFS+ - there was a Mac DMG to install some software for a PW insertion which I do not need - for those who have this SSD, is this software really needed, requires a computer reboot? Thanks for any help. Dave :) P.S. both devices come w/ 2 cables, i.e. a USB-C to C and a USB-C to A, the latter working on my older laptops/iMac. . [ATTACH=FULL]29047[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
