all my samsung drives have the latest firmware, so that’s not the issue.

Add to that my T5 and T7 devices perform perfectly on faster intel or ARM desktop devices.
The T5s have such great throughput that they are used for recording cinema-grade (lightly compressed RAW) 6K footage. I know this because I do film stuff on the side and the T5 drives were the most solid. I have 4 BMPCC6Ks that I use to film my streams & sets at home.

Guess maybe they were going off of flawed data?
I will say that the original T7s (think Gen 1) were both superior and inferior to the T5’s. Superior because they had faster sustained reads (~700MB/s) and inferior because they could not handle sustained writes as well as the t5’s.
I have two Gen2 t7s and they are just as reliable as the t5s for my camera needs and also boast the 700+MB/a read speeds .

WD/SanDisk are also having a bit of a 'mare with some of their drives so it pays to ensure all your SSDs firmware is up-to-date (or even some brands of MVMe SSDs as they are feeling the heat too).
