      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: [email protected]
      3) LiveChat: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/contact/ Available 9AM-6PM EST (Mon-Fri)

      The Samsung Members Community is also a great resource for getting help from Samsung moderators and customers:  https://us.community.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.

    Size is great but don't expect an easy transfer

    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.

    The product works ok if you don't try to use the built in encryption. If you use the built in security it will connect and disconnect a lot regardless of drive activity. Also the security application window has to stay open and running if you use the security feature.
