“I bought two of these from Best Buy, 20200512 an 20200514. Both only get about 10-15 MBps copying small Excel files. Both only get about 150-160 MBps copying music files. This can't be normal. Is this a bad batch of T7s?”

This question is for: Samsung - T7 Touch 1TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Portable SSD with Hardware Encryption - Black

Not necessarily. A "new PC" with Windows 7 (unless you selected the downgrade) doesn't sound new at all. In other words, the PC itself may be new but lack the latest technology. Your hard drive and motherboard can also create a bottleneck. Check these things out with whoever / wherever you bought your PC to be certain. If you can, try it on a USB-C port or newer PC and see if it's still slow.

What kind of device is it being connected to? Please note the capabilities of the drive will differ from device to device based on the limitations of the device it has been connected to.
