hello,

i got an issue with a Samsung Portable SSD T7 (500gb, FW : FXG42P2Q_2003) it only shows up as having 15mb. with the samsung software (SamsungPortableSSD_1.0) it does show 500gb but with 0 gb free. it is not password protected: the samsung software does not show it as protected and also i can enable password protection (and disable it again). any idea what the problem is?

 

thanks

frank

Is it brand new and never been used? I would try formatting it.

You may have to repartition the drive to show its full size

Secure wipe the drive and then partition it.

macos disk utility can "repair" and "erase" without problem but it stays only 15mb. "partition" shows only 1 partition
