Hello Everyone.
I have a Samsung M3 Portable 1TB, which is USB 3.0 compatible.
I am using it with a Macbook Pro 15"2016, with an Apple USB-C to USB-A adaptor.
To transfer 360Gb of data, it's taking about 2 hours. I tried BlackMagic Disk Speed Test, and it it shows a read/write speed of about 55/55MB/s
With a Seagate Backup Plus Desktop 4TB, using the same cables, I managed to get about 160MB/s for writing speeds.
Does anyone have a clue of why my portable samsung M3 so slow?
Thanks!
Edit - The external HDD is formatted as MacOS Extended Journaled.
