Samsung T7

I think Windows Exploder has crashed 3 times now.

I get same speed using the USBA-USBC as the Pixel 6a cable. Think mobo is only USB3.1 I tink though so it won't be flat out.

These are large files too, so should copy pretty fast.

Mobo: "Intel® USB 3.1 with USB Type-C™ - The World's Next Universal Connector"

Looks like the USBC port in the back is 3.1 whereas the USBA ports are 3.0

You should be getting 400-500MB/s with a T7, reading from an internal SATA3 drive, over USB3.1.

There is something very funky happening; the T7 is a decent drive.

I just bought another cable, labelled 3.1 or whatever and it barely mounted the drive. I gave up and threw it back on my normal USB-C cable where it works but only does 40mb/s.
