Cantisani Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I’m creating a photobook and I have all the photos on a Samsung T7 SSD with APFS case-sensitive format (if it matters). I originally had these files in the iPad but I moved them to the SSD to save space. When trying to relink these photos it stays forever. Is it possible to use an external drive for this? Also, when trying to replace, Publisher just hangs and then quit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantisani Posted January 15, 2023 Author Share Posted January 15, 2023 I reformatted my Samsung T7 to APFS (non encrypted, non case sensitive) and it works fine now DM1, Paul Mudditt and Dan C 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not an issue with the Affinity apps but with the iPad. I suspect that an iPad Pro doesn't have enough power in the USB-C port to feed a Samsung T7. I found some powered Thunderbolt hubs, but they're a bit expensive, more than the T7 itself. I had to reformat it again but this time I'm trying ExFAT format to see if that changes anything, my guess is that it will fail again at some point. Not sure if the T7 is worth buying the hub though. I will consider it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could go with powered USB-C hubs instead; they seem significantly less expensive.

I have one of those cheap powered hubs but for some reason my iPad didn't like it. When attempting to connect the SSD through it, my iPad froze and rebooted. it scared the shit out of me lol.. but everything is fine. I guess I need one of those thunderbolt hubs, I don't know. Another negative, the SSD gets hot and drains the battery of my iPad very fast. It doesn't get as hot with my iMac. That's why I think it's a power issue.
