Hello,

I'm using the supplied samsung cable and I'm only getting a write speed of about 23 MB/s. Is this normal? It's an Acer PC, with a 2.1 USB input. Thanks.

it depends what the driver supports in terms of speed, there's a name for it but I'm not sure what, search it up. or open task manager and look at your specs.

Not sure to be honest. Specs seem fast enough and it's got a 2.1 input so it should be faster as far as I'm aware. It's slow on my Mac too.

I bought several T7 Shield of 2T and 4T, from different stores at different times, and ALL of them after not being used for a few months only deliver a Write Speed of LESS than 2 (two) MB/s. I have read about this issue in many postings. What can be done other than reformatting the drive ??  I have tried writing to them for many hours at less than 2 MB/s, and the speed does NOT change. NOTE: reading speed is still good enough, between 300 MB/s and 600 MB/s.  This is on Windows 10 and 11, and I have all the recommendations about drivers, settings, etc.
