Question Samsung Touch T7 Portable SSD 10 MB/s ?

[keitht]

I have a Samsung Touch T7 1TB Portable SSD which supports 10 MB/s transfers. I am only getting 700 MB/s but Samsung say it supports 1050 MB/s
I have tried various cables from rear USB-c and also short Samsung USB-c cable from front, but the front uses motherboard x570 USB 3.2 gen 1 Type E this a USB 3.1 port. Asus support said it did not support USAP that's why I am only getting 700 MB/s

I fitted a PCI-E card which does support USAP and was USB 3.2 gen 2x2 and I also have a USB-c 20 MB/s USB-c cable.
I think the bottleneck is the USB type E which is USB 3.1

Is it possible to connect USB 3.2 gen 2x2 and will it make transfer any faster ? I think the Samsung T7 only supports 10 MB/s or wait for USB 4.0 ?

transferring from what to this portable ssd?

 

[keitht]

windows 11 pro x64 file explorer transferring files from internal SSD 2 TB firecuda 530 to USB-c external SSD Samsung T7 Touch
also have Sabrient Rocket 4 1TB internal SSD
USB 3.2 gen2 USB-c 10 MB/s
700 MB/s should be 1050 MB/s
been looking at m.2 enclosure 2280 20 MB/s and WD Black SN850 1TB m.2

USB 3.2 gen2 USB-c 10 MB/s

do you mean 10 Gbps

 

[keitht]

yeah sorry USB 3.2 gen 2 is 10 Gbs but seen some external SSD and m.2 enclosure 20Gbps

 

[rgd1101]

what is getting 700 MB/s ? the usb 3.2 gen 2x2 or the 3.2 gen 1 ?

 

[keitht]

USB 3.2 gen 1 I thought it was gen 2 but not sure pci-e card is gen 2x2 but the USB cable type is 3.1 asus sent me a link for a card with rear usb-c 20 Gbps

 

[rgd1101]

I'm lost on what exact is the issue

 

[keitht]

well I only get 700 MB/s but Samsung claims 1050 MB/s USB gen 2x2 is faster but not sure if it would help or could fit rear USB-c which is 20 Gbps or get m.2 external enclosure which is 20 Gbps or waits for USB 4 I think Samsung only uses 10 Gbps
just want a faster transfer

 

[rgd1101]

if your system don't have usb 3.2 gen 2x2 port. doesn't matter what external you have

 

[keitht]

but Asus sent me a link for pci-e card with rear 2x2 USB-c

 

[rgd1101]

that what I'm keep asking. You question is a mess.
what the exact model of the motherboard? exact model of this pcie card? what slot did you put the card in?

 

[keitht]

Asus rog Strix x570-f gaming motherboard
1-Port USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 PCIe Card - USB-C SuperSpeed 20Gbps PCI Express 3.0 x4 Host Controller Card - USB Type-C PCIe Add-On Adapter Card - Expansion Card - Windows & Linux

fitted in pci-e 2 -16x running at 4x

 

[rgd1101]

and you are using the old usb 3.1 cable?

 

[keitht]

I have 3 cables 1 x supplied by Samsung short USB-c 1 1m cable 10 Gbps 1x 2m cable 20 Gbps but I can get 1m 20 Gbps cable if needed

 

[rgd1101]

windows up to date? latest motherboard bios?
the only thing I remember is ssd having issue on amd system, and driver and bios update should fix it.

 

[keitht]

all windows updates latest chipset driver tried Asus and AMD
latest bios 4021
Asus said onboard USB 3.2 gen 2 did not support usap
they suggested pci-e card but the same result with USB e
they also suggested PCIe card I mentioned with no USB e but rear USB-c 2x2
