Thank you for purchasing the Samsung T7 Portable SSD and for your review. I am sorry to hear that you are not completely happy with the performance speeds.
The maximum transfer speed that can be achieved by the T7 is 1,050MB/s on a PC that supports USB 3.2 Gen2, UASP mode, but the speed may vary depending on the user‘s PC environment and the types of data being transferred. Please look to the details below for possible causes (and solutions), if you think your T7 is under performing.
Scenario 1 (PC Environment)
Your PC's USB Type C Port must support USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) in order to fully utilize the speed of the T7. USB 3.0 Gen.1, USB 3.1 Gen 1. USB 3.2 Gen.1 are restricted to 5Gbs speeds any may be the bottleneck to the performance of your T7.
Scenario 2 (Cable)
Using other cables besides the enclosed cable that comes with the T7 may cause performance degradation. Due to the varying internal resistance and maximum allowable current of other the cable types that does not come officially with the T7.
Scenario 3 (Dynamic Thermal Guard, DTG)
The T7 is designed to activate the DTG (Dynamic Thermal Guard) when the product reaches a its threshold temperature due to prolonged data transfers and usage. The smartly activated DTG function prevents the product from overheating and automatically slows down providing it a cool off period. The DTG technology enhances safety and reliability by preventing the product from reaching an excessively high temperature.
Should you need further assistance, please contact Samsung Customer Support directly so that we can better investigate your speed issue and assist you towards a resolution.

Samsung T7 2TB
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works fine. No problems installing the software. Would buy again.
I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Size, Speed
Speed in a small size
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Samsung T7 is a great little NVMe drive that uses up to USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10gbps), allowing for insane read/writes of around a gigabyte a second. It’s likely to be the fastest drive in your PC! My PC could “only” push about 560MB/sec to or from the drive as the other drives in my system weren’t up to that speed and my PC has USB 3.1 gen 2. Build quality is also nice, with a compact metal casing that is about the size of a credit card. It is small and thin and can be packed away for travel easily. The box also comes with two (short) USB cables, one that is USB C to C, and the other the more traditional USB A to C. On the drive, there is an installer for Samsung security and firmware updating software. The drive shipped with the latest firmware, so I didn’t need to update that. The security software allows you to set a password on the drive so it is encrypted and protected. I don’t plan on traveling with it or carrying private documents, so I didn’t choose to enable it, but it’s there if you need it. The drive also works great on an iPad Pro running iPad OS, it shows up as a drive and the files can be accessed from the Files App, it streamed a 2.7k 60fps video with no issues at all, so this gives people who use their iPads as a primary compute device a high performance, compact option for storing more data. I also plugged it into an Xbox One X…and it seems to make a real difference in load times vs the 4TB external spinning drive I have on it normally. Game loads are much faster, including Fortnite and Forza Horizon 4. With the upcoming Xbox Series X also having a high speed USB port on it, this drive will compliment it well for your existing titles, likely decreasing load times even more for your existing Xbox library.

Makes Mobile Gaming Possible
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a much smaller (size and capacity) drive, but it was not fast enough to use on my laptop for gaming ( I run games off the external drive to make them portable). So I went on a hunt and found this gem. It is the size of a credit card and comes with both usb3 type A and C connections. This sucker is fast and shows no sign of slowing down. I moved my game over (over 18Gbs) in about 3 mins. A lot faster than my other SSD drive I was using prior. Like all good things you have to take the read/write with a grain of salt. Large files (movies and such) will transfer faster than a bunch of smaller files. this is due to finding, moving, registering and verifying each file. So you can see how a single file will be faster in this case. Likes: size, weight, portability, connection options, speed and pocket-ability. Dislikes: none at this time. Though I doubt I ever will.
