Hi, does it matter the specs of the iPad or the SSD? The features that are important to me are mass exporting photos from the iPad (to free up space for my grandma), but still be able to view those old exported photos when it is plugged in. I am looking to purchase those things now, so please let me know!

Before adding a mouse, do I have to go to Touch ID & Passcode and turn on accessories? Is it necessary to do this?

Can you load and run apps from an external drive? I only have 64gig on my ipad and was hoping I could use an external drive to fix that problem.

Hello, I set up password for T9 Samsung SSD and unlocking the disk works great on Macbook but when I connect the disk to iPad Pro it shows “read only disk” and show no files on the disk that were already written on it. This is because password is set up and I don’t know how to unlock T9 on iPad. There is no software from Samsung for iPad like PSSD to unlock the T9 disk on iPad. Can you help, please?

yeah this is the problem and it is not addressed in this video

@AssassinsFreakCreed Жыл бұрын

I’m confused as to how you got this to work. My SSD starts blinking and doesn’t show up in the files app. Is this due to the Samsung security protection? How did you get yours to work?

@arvin24ph 5 ай бұрын

Android devices can read NTFS file systems what most hard drive are formatted. Most Apple devices can't read NTFS. They can only read exFAT and FAT32 formatted hard drives. Hope it helps.

@@mikeeru9 I've read that you have to reformat the ssd to AFPS to read and write from an ipad. But that would mean it cannot be read or write by Windows computers.

It's Apple security. Or it needs external power to the hard drive to read and write.

@jacksonbrown4112 Жыл бұрын

Bro, this straight up does not work as the SSD has security protection, and the smasung app isnt on the ipad download store.

This does not work, at least in my case. I pulled a SSD from a dead laptop, put it in an enclosure, and connected the enclosure to my iPad Pro and it does not show up in locations. What am I doing wrong?

Make sure your drive is formatted to Exfat + sometimes it takes a few minutes to show up in files

@@flipnap2112 Exfat or Fat32 works with windows and iOS. If you only use apple devices APFS should be suitable as long as it’s not encrypted as the iPad OS can’t open secure (password protected etc.) drives.
