can you please direct me to where I can download the proper drivers for my Samsung T& SSD so that I may properly install the drivers necessary for it to work with my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) operating via Big SUR version 11.4.?

Are you referring to an external drive? If so, they do not need "drivers". All they need is to be formatted properly which can be done in Disk Utility - depends if you just want to use them with Mac OS or also Windows.
What exactly is this erasing, not my memory I hope! 👀
sorry, mistaken. deleted.
No there definitely some stuff I've moved over but because its got a terabyte worth of space it looks like barely anything is there.
So after I click erase is that all?
were you able to download the samsung software from the link provided in my last response? i'd like to know if it worked.
I just try to avoid any third party software - especially Samsung which does not have a stellar record of compatibility with Macs - that isn't absolutely necessary.
i agree with you on that for sure. :)
ok, well thus is just a guess but, according to one of your earlier screenshots, the T7 drive is formatted as ExFAT, which is a windows format. and you must have downloaded the big sur compatible software since the mac is running big sur. those two things likely don't work together. it.s my guess that the drive needs a mac format (APFS) to be able to use the samsung's software for big sur..
from your screenshot, click on "Erase"
then you will get a popup window. choose APFS for the format, and GUID for the partition scheme.
