Samsung T5 external SSD compatibility


Hi
Thinking of picking up one of the Samsung T5 external SSD drives but the specs only say Mac OS and Windows compatibility.

Does anyone know if this drive will work properly on a Ubuntu system?

I'd be willing to guess that it will work.

This is a limit I'd assume.

"Embedded Windows/Macsoftware lets you reset password, check capacity, notifies youand enables installation of firmware/software updates. For extra convenience, download the Android mobile app.The T5 is compatible with current and latest devices, with the included Type-C to C and Type-C to A cables"

Unless you find some current owner reports of this device being used then you will have to test it. Most usb drives can be used without any software. I didn't read where it required you to have software.
