Before using the Samsung Portable SSD T3 (referred to as “T3”), please read this User Manual thoroughly and use the product in a safe and appropriate manner.

What’s In the Box

System Requirements

1. USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) or USB 3.0 (5 Gbps) interface support

USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a serial input/output interface standard for connecting various devices. USB

3.1 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) and USB 3.0 (5 Gbps), collectively referred to as “USB 3”, support transfer speed of up to 10 times the speed of USB 2.0 (480 Mbps). T3’s data transfer speed is optimal with USB 3, and using lower versions such as USB 2.0 and 1.1 may result in lower performances due to interface limitations.

* Performance may vary depending on each user’s system even when using USB 3.0 connections. T3 may

not perform well if UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) is not supported. Please make sure that the system to which T3 is connected supports UASP.

2. Recommended Operating Systems for Using Security Software

 Windows OS: Windows 7 or higher  Mac OS: Mac OS X 10.7 or higher  Android: Android KitKat (ver. 4.4) or higher

3. File Formats

T3 is formatted using exFAT file format, in order to support Windows OS, Mac OS, and the latest Android operating systems.

Data reading/writing for file formats may vary depending on the OS. If you use T3 on a single OS, it is recommended that you format the T3 using the appropriate file format for that OS.

(e.g.) Read/write restrictions for file formats by each operating system

File Formats Windows OS Mac OS

exFAT Both read and write Both read and write

NTFS Both read and write Read only

HFS Not recognized Both read and write

* 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 T3 to your Mac again, and perform Eject. – Windows OS: In the notice window that appears when write access is disabled, click “Scan and fix” to

perform Check Disk (CHKDSK). If you closed the window, you can perform Check Disk by selecting the drive → Right-click → Properties → Tools → click Check.
