samsung solid state drive for macbook pro

Q2 : In the event that my iMac HD, fails, can the Samsung SSD_T5, restore everything on a new iMac or Mac mini ( Applications and System Files are not excluded from my BackUp). Q1 : Can some one offer an Opinion about whether the SSD T5 Security when Enabled includes Samsung Encryption done by some Chip Inside the SSD T5, controlled by the Password Key. I did not enable Time Machine encryption ( my thinking was my iMac would be encrypting my data that is about to be encrypted by the Samsung SSD T5. Time Machine decided that my choice of APFS format wouldn't work so it used Mac OS Extended Journaled. I used the the Samsung SetUp _Mac & the Samsung Management Software ( Rename Drive, Set Password Y/N, Check for Firmware Updates. Password protection software compatible with multiple OSs.' ' Optional Password protection (AES256-bit Hardware Encryption). Here are the words Samsung uses for the SSD T5. ( I believe the SSD T5 has the Software & Chip for the 16 character Pswd & the AES 256 encryption as hardware inside the SSD T5.) Ability to set Strong Password with Encryption. The most important thing for me is BackUp Device Reliability & Security.

I'm not using the SSD T5 as a Bootable Drive Uh-Ohh there is an issue here back when you set this up. The worst thing is to think it's all done correctly and then if you need it. I'm in-experienced in this area, but i have everything Running. I'm actually using Two SSD T5's and i keep one stored Off Site. (replacement for an 8 year old Airport Time Capsule before it fails ). I'm now using a Samsung Portable SSD T5 for iMac( late 2013), Running Catalina, Dedicated BackUp for iMac, Controlled by Time Machine. I'm reading about Samsung SSD compatibility problems and not to use Samsung Software ( i don't think that applies for use of Samsung SSD T5 for external BackUp Storage.)
