    Having numerous internal NVME Samsung Drives, I needed one for my M2 Max based Mac Studio. What a disappointment. It was slower than a cheap case I can buy and put my own SSD in it. I got a grand total of about 160MB for a drive that should get up to 10GB/s. It's great for backup, don't I wouldn't recommend it for running anything from.

      TheRevenite:

      I’m sorry to hear that your experience did not match your expectations. We value your feedback regarding the speed of your T7 SSD.

      The maximum transfer speed that can be achieved by the T7 is 1,050 MB/s on a PC that supports USB 3.1 Gen2 and UASP Mode, but the speed may vary depending on your 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 to troubleshoot your issue.

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

    If you are buying this for use on a Mac please don't. The T7 doesn't play nice with my iMac or Macbook pro. Once you finally get what think you want loaded on, you are then unable to erase the drive and start over. Using the Utilities on a Mac will not erase the drive. This doesn't happen on the T5 drives. I would return the T9 but can't as I can not erase my data. This is NOT a solution for Apple computers. The T9 is fast which is good.
