With USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20 Gbps) interface and utilizing the NVMe™ protocol, the T9 can transfer a 2GB file in almost 1 second achieving sequential read/write speeds of up to 2,000 MB/s.
It also says "To reach maximum sequential read/write speeds of up to 2,000 MB/s, respectively, the host device and connection cables must support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 and the UASP mode must be enabled."
I'm still confused and not sure whether macOS properly supports UASP (and with TRIM).
