I was updating my Samsung Magician software when this prompt came up… Is this for data collection? I’m gonna go out on a limb and say yes… i DO in fact live in a GDPR country.

A fair point. Still close enough to be worrisome. Also that software potentially updates the drive’s drivers and/or firmware.
