SAMSUNG T7 Shield 4TB for MacBook Pro Timemachine

I use Mojave 10.14.6 as I do not want to lose using aperture. How will this SSD work as a Timemachine backup? I am upgrading from an old Seagate 1T HDD. I want to include my photos in the backup so I need more space.

thank you.

Can I use an SSD external drive for Time Machine backups Can I use an SSD external drive for Time Machine backups? My old 2T Seagate has decided to live the rest of it's life as Read Only (I've tried all the fixes that I could find to no avail) and I need to replace it. Was thinking a 2T SSD (I have just about 1T on my Mac). Seems like I should be able to do that but don't want to buy something I can't use. I've got an ancient 2011 iMac running High Sierra v10.13.6 Thx for any insight

Which SSD 1TB device is reputable, straightforward and suitable to use for time machine back up? I have a MacBookPro, mid-2015. It's running MacOS Monterey V 12.6.7 The process is a 2.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 Memory is 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3 I hope you understood what I just wrote because I feel like I'm talking another language I don't understand. That aside... I need to purchase a new external hard drive to set as a back-up via Time Machine. I've got a hard drive, but I think it's dead. JB HiFi suggested a Samsung Portable SSD T7 Shield, but once I started investigating it's not actually formatted "out of the box" for a Mac. I am clueless on this stuff and don't even know where to start. I'm not using my laptop for anything fancy, just photos, word, excel, emails the like. No graphics. Just lots of photos. What SSD product should I be looking at that's reliable and will do the job and won't break the bank? Thanks so much for your help.

How do I back up both internal SSD and external SSD to a single external drive? I'm upgrading from an 2019 iMac to a M4 Mac Mini with 48GB for RAM and 2TB for storage. I want to add to my M4 Mini an external HDD for backup and an external 8TB SSD for working storage for my photography files (30,000 Plus). I need the backup HDD to back up both the external SSD and the 2 TB of internal storage which will hold non-photography files, Mail, Messages, Applications, etc. Apple support tells me I can't do this using Time Machine (which I've used for the last10 or so years). How do I set this up? [Re-Titled by Moderator]
