A: AnswerNot that I am aware of. Nothing came in the box except a “book” in a 100 languages of how to install. Probably something online. If you are looking to back up your system or certain files find the drive either “D” or “E” depending on the number of drives in your computer and direct them to save on it.

Samsung SDD 4TB T7 Shield external hard drive.
I had to transfer from my old failing external hard drive and it was very easy to transfer 100’s of pictures, personal manuscripts and over 200 commercial movies, many over 2 hours long and it only took about, 2.5 - 3 hours. They all transferred glitch free.

Samsung SSD is Awesone
Drive has surpassed my expectations as a Time Machine backup drive for my MacBook Pro. This is a critical business use device so robust backup is critical. Fast, both data transfer and time to mount and unmount. I used to wait for several minutes for my drive to unmount. The Samsung unmounts in a few seconds!

Samsung T7 through Best Buy.
The salesman at Best Buy was very good and knowledgeable. I also spoke with the Best Buy Geek Squad who helped out immensely My T7 drive works really well and As good as expected. My computer is not one of the fastest. and I was worried if the drive would work on it. But it works better than expected.
