I just ordered and tried a usb 3.2 Samsung T7 Shield plugged on the back usb of my Naim Atom Uniti HE. The SSD emits an electrical pulse buzz when connected that I can here in my headphones, when music is not playing, and independently from volume. I put my Seagate usb 3.0 back, and its dead silent. I will return the T7. There is a little blue light on the T7 that is pulsing all the time. I dont know if it has anything to do with it. Anyways it was annoying. Guess its not compatible with the Atom uniti HE.
I use Samsung T7 SSD units and don’t have that issue.
The blue light usually flickers to show data transfer, but no noise.
Are you connected directly on back usb of Atom uniti?
Yes I have done that. Also have them in my core as well
I think that T7 may be faulty. They are excellent SSDs and Samsung is recommended by Naim for SSD in the UnitiCore for example.
Normal or Shield version of the T7? I tried the Shield version.
I sent it back…
USB 3/C devices are I think potentially electrically noisier than USB 2, can’t remember where I read that, possibly here.
I have several Samsung T5/T7 external SSDs which are excellent but I don’t think I’ve used one with my Nova (may change).
