[SOLVED] Intel® USB 3.1 with USB Type-C™ slow write speed on Samsung T7 ?

[unixsac]

I just purchased a Samsung T7, my motherboard is a Gigabyte Z170x-gaming 7 and it come with a Intel® USB 3.1 with USB Type-C™ but the transfer speed only 277mbps, it doesn't even match with T5 speed, does anyone know what the cause? The USB 3.1 support for 10Gb/s transfer speed, that should be at least 500mbps?

Yes it can do 10Gb/sec but what device did you connect to that port?

I connected my Samsung T7 500GB type c to type c to my Gigabyte z170x gaming 7 motherboard and the speed only at 277mbps.

Are these write speeds or read speeds?
Are you using the type C to type C cable or are you using the type C to type A cable?
If write speeds you will be limited to the source device speeds. 35MBps is about an old 5400rpm hard drive that is fragmented or USB type A connection.
If these are read speeds , you may need to download the drivers for you motherboard and install them.

My OS HDD would be Samsung 860 EVO 500GB, i'm curently using the type c to type c plug that came from Samsung T7 in the box.

Download motherboard drivers from here and install.
AT least chipset ,USB 3/3.1, and Thunderbolt.
You could be using generic windows drivers, especially if you are running windows 7/8.1.
