Make Samsung Portable SSD T3 work on Ubuntu












2















When I try to connect the SSD drive on my laptop with Ubuntu Xenial (16.04.1), it refuses to mount it.



It doesn't recognize the exFAT file system.



The error was similar to:



Unable to access “Samsung_T3”
Error mounting /dev/sdb1 at /run/media/todd/Samsung_T3: Command-line `mount -t "exfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,namecase=0,errors=remount-ro,umask=0077" "/dev/sdb1" "/run/media/todd/Samsung_T3"' exited with non-zero exit status 32:
mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'

            exfat-fuse should be enough to mount ExFAT file systems. exfat-utils contains tools to create and diagnose ExFAT file systems and recommends the installation of exfat-fuse, which is probably how you installed it because Apt installs recommended packages in Ubuntu's default configuration.
