So,
First of all, excuse the amateur.
Thing is, the 2 Thunderbolt ports that I have, are great. But I am very confused.
Now, I have a Netac (Slim) SSD for 1GB, that has an interface 3.2 Gen 2.
Product: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Netac-Exte...netac+ssd&qid=1617750576&s=electronics&sr=1-7
Then I have an ANKED USB C HUB, that has 2 USB-A 3.2 ports and a data port with USB-C.
However, thing is, I tested the SSD I have with the stock cable it came with, via the HUB and plugged directly in to the thunderbolt port with USB C adapter on it. And I am still only getting roughly 400MB read/write on BlackMagic.
So my question is, where are the 40 GB/s speeds plugged in directly to thunderbolt or even 5 GBS that a USB 3.1 would support?
Will anything change if I bought a thunderbolt USB-C to USB-C cable? And who are these crazy speeds for? As far as research I seen, even T7 does roughly 700/900 read-write. It's not that I need 40GBs, I'm trying to understand what would that speed be for, and it just feels that there is more marketing in it than actual necessity.
