Samsung SSD Stopped Working

[MattMatt12341]

So my Samsung T7 SSD just went haywire as a TeslaCam drive. It was cruising along fine, but now it’s throwing up a big red X. I’ve tried pretty much everything - reformatted it and all that jazz - but no luck. Had to grab an official Tesla USB stick just to get things running again. Anyone else hit this snag? Any clue what might’ve gone sideways?

I think it's time for a software update. Did you try reformatting it first?

Hey Matt, I learned recently that some version in Teslas can cause this kind of issue, care to share what version you use? We can start from there, and also check if there are updates.

I haven’t faced this issue, but I am guessing it could be a compatibility thing or maybe the SSD just got worn out from all the writing. The Tesla USB stick should do the trick for now.

This was something that happened back in 2022. It's been two years since then. I don't know if this would be the issue.

Have you tried to connect the SSD to a laptop to see if it works?
