[QUOTE="Rojofo, post: 1892360, member: 380578"] Hi, I realize that I wrote "S7" instead of "T7". My mistake! It is the Samsung T7 500G° model: here is a link to the Samsung site: [URL='https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/product/portable/t7/']Samsung Portable SSD T7 | Samsung External Storage[/URL] The T7 seems to be a well-known model as it is often quoted on this site and others. There have been some formatting problems with it and I had to read a bit to see how to reformat it in APFS format. This was not difficult however with Mac Disk Utility. I suppose that any external SSD drive of similar speed would have the same effect. I am not particularly advertising Samsung. This was the solution I found but there are certainly many others.
