Samsung Portable SSD T1 support

I see some people talk about installing SSD T3 on the same Sierra machine, and I found both software (T1 and T3) in this link: http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/portable.html

But it did not work for me. When installing T3 soft it hangs with an error...

But I have realised that when I connect my Samsung T1 SSD, if I execute Disk Manager I can see the HDD. Then from Disk Manager you can press right button over SAMSUNG and open it on FINDER.

(by now it's the only way I can see it).

i went to http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/portable.html?target= 1 and downloaded the T3 activation software. Once the install was finished it immediately recognized that the drivers were out of date and updated them.

In my case the T3 software didn't work. There came an error and it shut down. There was also no 'Samsung SSD driver update message'.

I got the T1 software working again by installing the different SSD driver updates contained inside the 'T3 Security Enabler for Mac' software (4x). After a restart the SSD workes again with the 'Samsung Portable SSD' app.

Is anyone having this problem? I was told by Samsung customer care to install the new T5 driver and it should work, but even that didn't help.

To access the content of the drive, I have had to disable the password on the drive using an older version of OS X and now when I connect it mounts the drive.

Eventually, I would like a solution with working drivers so I can encrypt my drive.

G'day all,

I recently had a similar problem with a 250GB T3. Always said no device connected when i connected it. I have a late 2013 running High Sierra 10.13.1.

My solution was to install the T5 software and then it redownloads and installs the drivers again. This worked fine.

Hope this helps!

Same with me. I have tried it with a virtual windows machine and be able to unlock the ssd and copy my data to my mac.

But under Sierra the disk disk will still not work.

I have the same problem with a Samsung M3 External Hard Drive used for pictures storage and back up.

After upgrading my MacBook Air I can't see this external HD

(ignore)

It works! Cool, thank you very much!

What did you do to get it to work?

Hope you've got it to work already, but if it is still troubling you, here's how:

Like #brassrat mentioned, once the T3 Activator is installed, the T1 can be recognized by Mac as well.

Please use the link above and download activation software for T3. And magic will happen.

didn't work for me...

I also emailed the Samsung yesterday and this is what they told me:
