Slow speeds on Samsung T7 SSD
Hi,
I recently purchased a 2TB Samsung T7 SSD external hard drive for some extra storage on my Windows laptop. It was advertised as having sequential read and write speeds of up to 1000MB/s, but I'm only getting speeds of up to 50MB/s when I try to transfer files over.
I've run a third party speed test and have got less than encouraging results (max 100MB/s speeds), and a benchmarker piece of software has advised it's performing in the bottom 10% of similar products.
I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do, but wondered if anyone had any advice before I send it back for a refund.
Thanks in advance.
