      roachna:

      Thank you for purchasing the Samsung T7 Portable SSD. Samsung drives adhere to the IDEMA standard of advanced formatting, which will result in the drive appearing as less than the listed size.

      The amount of space that appears to be "missing" is in fact used by the drive/card for storing firmware, metadata and spare blocks. Your operating system (Windows, Linux, etc.) will also affect the usable space -- different operating systems will use different amounts of space to store their metadata. Consequently, formatted space will always be less than unformatted space.

      You can look IDEMA up online for more technical details about this standard, which is established by The International Disk Drive Equipment and Materials Association.

      Should you ever have questions or need assistance using this product, please contact Samsung Customer Support.

      Vasyl:

      Thank you for purchasing the Samsung T7 SSD and for your review.

      The maximum transfer speed that can be achieved by the T7 is sequential read/write speeds of up to 1,050/1,000 MB/s, on a PC that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2, but the speed may vary depending on the user‘s PC environment and the types of data being transferred.

      As there are various factors that could affect speed, I would encourage you to call Samsung Customer Support if you need further assistance to troubleshoot your issue.

      1) Call: 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Memory or press #, then 6 for Memory products)
      Available 9AM – 12AM EST (Mon-Fri)
      2) Email: samsungmemorysupport@sea.samsung.com

      Samsung stands behind the quality and performance of every T7 SSD we manufacture with a limited 3-year manufacturer’s warranty when purchased brand-new, directly from any authorized dealer, like Best Buy.

    Bought a new phone and this compact little unit stored all of my information just in case something happened to it during the transfer. It will recognize your phone but it is quite difficult to transfer information from phone to phone. I had to call customer service to help me out. Overall satisfied with purchase.
