I have one of these:
https://www.pny.com/pro-elite-usb3?sku=P-FD512PRO-GE
I've tried it on my Dell XPS 9550 and Macbook Pro late 2016 model using a thunderbolt hub that's USB 3/3.1 cable. Results are the same. Max R/W performance is < 40MB/S. About 10% of what the drive is capable of!
On both machines my Samsung T3 2TB portable SSD achieves max speeds in excess of 400MB/S both ways so I know the ports are working as designed.
It's definitely an authentic drive and came right from the manufacturer in retail (card) packaging.
Could it just be defective? I only have this one on hand to test.
