Have you ever tried testing the speed of Samsung portable SSD T7 after a long time of use? In this tutorial, you will know the necessity of a speed test, the secure way to check it as well as how to optimize Samsung T7 speed.
SSD (Solid State Drive) is a storage device preferred by an increasing number of computer users due to its quieter weight, better resistance to shock, and faster read-write speed compared with HDD (Hard Disk Drive). And Samsung Portable SSD T7 is one of the most popular external hard drives in the market.
To user's satisfaction, according to the official Samsung portable SSD T7 speed test, the impressive sequential read/write speeds can be up to 1,050/1,000 MB/s respectively over USB 3.2 Gen 2 when coping data between PC and SSD or transferring files between two external hard drives. Besides, the reason why the T7 is warmly welcomed by users is also related to the following factors:
❥ Light and pocket-sized. With a rough size like a credit card and lightweight, Samsung Portable SSD T7 can be perfectly held in the palm of your hand on the go.
❥ Great compatibility. The portable SSD T7 is compatible with PC, Mac, Android devices, and more. And the interface is available to USB Type C-to-C and Type C-to-A cables.
❥ Higher security. The T7 comes with AES 256-bit hardware encryption and you can also choose to set your own password to protect your data.
❥ Multiple capacities. There are three capacities to meet your different needs: 500GB, 1TB, or 2TB.
As we know, the official SSD T7 read/write speed is about 1,000 MB/s while a standard SSD had better have a 500MB/s sequential read and write speed. However, the speed sometimes decreases gradually, especially when you have used the SSD for a long time or the SSD is full. In such cases, it will take you a long time to copy files or open any applications on it, and even cause other unexpected problems.
Therefore, if you are using a Samsung portable SSD T7 or T5, it's wise to develop a good habit of running Samsung portable SSD T5 vs T7 speed test regularly so that you can master the basic conditions of your SSD, which allows you to know when is the best time to optimize it to keep the computer run smoothly.
The above contents just present the basic information of Samsung portable SSD T7 and the reason for checking its speed at a regular time. However, you must wonder how you can test the T7 read and write speed quickly and safely. Keep reading and you will find the answer and the detailed tutorial.
AOMEI Partition Assistant Professional can help you quickly know the exact condition of your SSD speed. It has two modes: Simple Mode and Pro mode. The former mode can give you a general and rough result while the latter one is more accurate and precise in testing. You can choose any one of them according to your real needs.
Now, download the demo version and have a try yourself:
Step 1. Connect Samsung portable SSD T7 with your computer. (The result will be more accurate if you use USB 3.2 Gen 2.)
Step 2. Install and run AOMEI Partition Assistant Professional. Click the SSD partition and select "Disk Speed Test" under "Test" menu.
Part 1. Simple Mode
Step 3. The Simple Mode is selected by default, which will just report the write-read speed of selected SSD drive. You can click "Start" to begin testing.
Step 4. Wait for a while, you can see the result directly and you are able to export the result as a screenshot or text.
Part 2. Pro Mode
Step 5. Click "Pro Mode" to test the SSD comprehensively.
Step 6. In the new window, you can change the default settings as your wish: Partition, Average/Maximum speed, Size, Test Number and Duration. After setting everything, you can click "Start" to begin testing the SSD.
Step 7. When the test gets done, you can see the result directly on the interface, and also you can export the result as you like.（If the testing stops at the duration, the already finished part can be seen and exported normally.)
After testing Samsung portable SSD T7 speed, if you think the speed doesn't match the manufacturer's advertisement or your current needs, you can take actions to perform SSD optimization, like adjusting page files, aligning SSD partitions, disabling Hibernate, and so on. Among these methods, partition alignment is simple and effective, which can also be realized by AOMEI Partition Assistant Professional. Here are the details:
Step 1: Open and run the software, select the SSD and right-click one of its partitions. And choose "Advanced" and then click "Partition Alignment".
Step 2: In the pop-out window, you can set partition alignment to 4K(4096 Sector) and click "OK".
In this step, if you receive a message saying that "The current partition is already optimized thus there is no need to align it again", you can choose another partition to repeat again.
Step 3: Then you will back to the main console, click "Apply" and "Proceed" to commit the operation.
Now, you have known how to run Samsung Portable SSD T7 speed test as well as improve its performance when you find it's slow. As a powerful partition manager, AOMEI Partition Assistant software can also provide you with other useful functions: clone HDD/SSD to SSD, convert HDD/SSD from MBR to GPT without data loss, move apps to external storage, and so on. If you need, you can always ask this versatile tool for help.
