Question about Samsung T7 Shield

Hello friends. I have large video files which I need to back up so was very happy when this came out. I have an Aurora R9 Alienware PC (USB 3 and 3.1 gen 1 and 2 x gen 2 ports so not a spec issue). I ordered this about a week ago and all week I have been trying to get ‘reasonable speeds’ (not looking for the max which is stated because we all know this can be impacted by a number of things!) but I do not get more than 159Mb/s and that was only once which allowed me to transfer some files over. I know am back to what I was getting originally which is in the region of 30-40 Mbp/s! I have changed drivers, reinstalled drivers, enabled better performance with write cache but still no change? I am transferring from a 7200 rpm HDD to this SSD but I cannot believe the HDD is the bottleneck? I have done various speed test and crystal disk test which show much higher read and write speeds but that is not shown with actual transfers! My files are large 3-4 and over gb so not mini files which can impact the speed. any help or guidance please on what could be wrong? I genuinely do not want to return this but spending 2-3 hours (if I am lucky) transferring files is not good. Thank you vielen danke

Helpful answer
159 Mbit/s sound approx. what an HDD will reach (Reading)
Writing is always slower than reading, your HDD is most likely your bottleneck (there could be other factors, but as mentioned thats probably because of the HDD)
