Unable to connect Samsung T5 while running OS Catalina
I recently bought a Samsung T5 Portable SSD and also just upgraded my system to OS Catalina and I can't run the software from the SSD and can't connect to it.

I haven't yet upgraded to Catalina, and after reading this I am wondering if I'd be wise to hold off doing so.
I store my Capture One image files in a Samsung T5, but as far as I'm aware there is no software on the SSD, the C1 app is on my Mac. Will this issue affect me or will I be OK to move to Catalina if I'm just using the T5 to store files?
Same problem here.
How to contact samsung tech support? Is there a link?
I just called them (1-800-Samsung) they said that there is no update yet, pretty much we are screwed!
I just want to know whether they are working on that and how long will they be able to post the update.
Samsung has not updated their software.
Have you reformatted it to apfs? I have a T5, it works.
are you on Mac OS Catalina?
Yes
I contacted Samsung and their solution was to go back to Mojave
Works very well. I tried to make it a bootable drive, in fact, my permanent boot drive. It was dodgy until I just reformatted with apfs.
And you don't need them...
Actually, this is not correct. You can install the Samsung drivers, but don't -- not if you want to use the T5. Use Disk Utility, period.
