The "×2" label is really confusing. I am a little disappointed that they still use it after "USB 3.2 Gen 2x2". if a device/motherboard has 2 of such port, either "2 of USB 3.2 Gen 2x2" or "USB 3.2 Gen 2x2x2" will looks like a joke.
- javagram 7y agoThe ports are supposed to be labeled using friendly customer names like “SuperSpeed USB”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_3.0#USB_3.2 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_3.0#USB_3.2 See “USB-IF recommended marketing name” * 5 Gbps transfer rate: “SuperSpeed USB” * 10 Gbps transfer rate: “SuperSpeed USB 10/Gbps” - applies to both Gen 2x1 and Gen 1x2. * 20 Gbps transfer rate: “SuperSpeed USB 20 Gbit/s”
- gumby 7y agoI think the quotation marks should go around the phrase "friendly customer names". I have never been able to differentiate between "Full speed", "high speed" and "super speed" though I guess they are each different from "low speed. Of course there are several speeds all labeled "SuperSpeed+"
- javagram 7y ago5Gbps, 10Gbps, and 20Gbps seem like pretty clear names to me.
- garaetjjte 7y agoAnd then you connect two devices labeled with "SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps"... and it turns out that only 5 Gbps works, because one device was Gen2x1 and the other Gen1x2?
