*Just a note: Apple will likely block the Samsung SSD Portable software installation file so users will have to allow a security exeception for the download in "Systems Preferences." The Samsung website also makes note of this.6. I am happy to say I am backing up my iPhone right now as I type. My iTunes, er, I mean "Apple Music" app, opened and recognized my iPhone.

No error or SAT driver messages appeared. Well, it turns out Samsung has a section on its website called "Portable SSD Software." Even though I have an older SSD T3 model I purchased 2016, I downloaded the software for "Samsung Portable SSD Software for T5, X5 (3)."įollowing the install*, I restarted my computer, connected the SSD T3 and lo and behold new, updated Samsung software opened and accepted my password like usual. Now, the printer downloads made me think to do something I didn't think to do or perhaps thought I already did: check Samsung's website just to see what new downloads were available for portable SSD users. Dammit, Big Sur! I wound up uninstalling and /or reinstalling Canon/Brother software AND downloading new drivers that were made a available only a couple months ago. But before starting this project, I had to print some shipping labels from eBay only to learn that I couldn't use my Canon and Brother printers like normal. I went to Micro Center after work, got a new external drive just for the Catalina download project, with the intent to roll up my sleeves and get to work upon arriving home. Now, here's the longwinded version for the select few who care (or are bored) -): It was a relatively quick, simple process. Long story short: I found and downloaded new software from Samsung's website and my SSD began operating like normal.
Good news! I got my Samsung SSD T3 to function like normal and I did not have to download and boot Catalina on an external drive. The only problem is, I already have files on the drive and they'd disappear if I reformat the SSD. I did some research and someone said I don't need SAMSUNG's software, that I should just go to Disk Utility and format the SSD to APFS and that will wipe out the unnecessary software and annoyances. From here, the SSD file name, as displayed on my desktop and the "Locations" section of the Finder window, automatically changes from "T3_Setup" to "Samsung Portable SSD." The driver issue is keeping me from getting to the password step so I can access my data, a major issue.

Every time I plug it in, I click on "T3 Log In Activator for Mac" and type in a password. If so, perhaps I connect my current SAMSUNG SSD (purchased in 2016) to another Mac with an older OS and transfer my data from the SAMSUNG to the new SANDISK SSD? Would a more up-to-date SSD solve this issue? I have a new SANDISK SSD I purchased from Costco a few months ago that I have not used yet. If I downgrade from Big Sur, I'll encounter the initial problem that made me upgrade: I won't be able to back up my iPhone to iTunes.īy "software manufacturer," to whom is the dialog box referring? SAMSUNG? Apple? Another company? Or where to find the correct driver, if it is even available. What do I do? I can't figure out which driver version I tried to download and which one I need.

I followed the prompts to install the driver ("Install SATSMARTDriver.pkg"), thinking I'm in the clear and then.Ī message tells me "This package is incompatible with this version of MacOS" and that I should contact the software manufacturer for assistance. It is recommended installation of a SAT driver to use Samsung Portable SSD password protection." I successfully upgraded to Big Sur and plugged in my SSD external drive, only to get this message: "SAT (SCS ATA Translation) driver is mandatory to manage SAMSUNG Portable SSD T3 1TB through USB interface at Mac system.
#Samsung ssd drivers for mac upgrade#
I went to backup my current iPhone (iPhone 8 with 14.2 iOs) one last time and iTunes prompted me to upgrade the software on my Macbook (MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) before I could go further. I won't be able to backup my current phone and use my new iPhone until I figure this out (!) I need a compatible driver with the new version on my Macbook. I was prompted to download the driver only to learn it is not compatible with my current MacOS. It has to do with the SAT (SCS ATA Translation) driver. Long story short: I upgraded to Big Sur and now I can't use my SAMSUNG SSD external drive, which I use to store my music collection and manage my iTunes/iPhone backups.
