After restart, you will be able to use either the app that comes with the drive in the 'T1_SETUP' volume, when you plug it in or the T5 Samsung portable SSD application if you had that installed as well.This time when it asks if you want to restart, click yes.Repeat steps 13-16 with the other file in that folder.When it asks to restart, click not now.Then click allow where it says 'System software from developer 'Samsung' was blocked from loading'.Unlock the system preferences by clicking the lock in the bottom left-hand corner.Apple is going to pop up with a message saying "System extension blocked", click 'Open Security Preferences'.Drag one of the files (SATSMARTDriver.kext, ugin) into the /Library/Extensions folder.Open another finder window, and go to the folder /Library/Extensions folder.Open the new folder that was extracted, and open every folder until you see two files.This will extract all the files to /Users/$your_user/Downloads/SATSMARTDriver.
Once the installer is open, don't click install or anything.
And I tried using both of the new versions of the Samsung portable SSD software (T5/T7), neither worked with the T1.įor the past few months, I thought I was never going to be able to get the files off it again. It kept telling me to install this "SCSI ata translation" driver. I had this way before apple silicon was even a thing. And it has this "secure mode" that requires you to open an app to put in a password.
