I simply want to know the difference between the safe 5 and newer T models. It is not listed on their site for comparison. I am leaning toward purchasing the 5. Can someone help? Thanks
Main difference, Trezor Safe 5 (TS5) has a secure element. Model T doesn’t.
Why is that important? If someone steals it, its impossible to crack. So its a physical security feature.
With the Model T, it’s technical crackable if you have the right equipment and expertise.
Secondary difference, the TS5 has a flat surface, so no dust can get caught in the corners of the screen.
Thank you. One other question. The website says that the trezor suite supports mac OS 10.15 but the download says only MacOS 11 and won’t install. I do not have a new MAC Am i out of luck?
Where deos it say MacOS 11?
What version of MacOS do you have?
MacOS 10.15 is the minimum version.
Thank you but it works now, It said it (11) on the install splash screen.
Another dumb question if you don’t mind. I fudged a pin entry and lost a count (16 left) Can that countdown ever be reset if it gets too low?
It will reset after a successful PIN entry.
After 16 tries the device will wipe itself.
Hi @Bobby1,
If the device wipes itself after the 16 incorrect attempts you can access your wallet only by performing the recovery process with your wallet backup (recovery seed) as described at Recovery process for the Trezor Safe 5.
