Please be advised that in order to attain the maximum advertised speeds, it is essential to ensure that your computer or host device is certified to support the 20 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 connection. It is important to note that Apple devices, including those equipped with Thunderbolt/USB4, do not support the 20 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 and will therefore be restricted to 10 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2.
