It should be good for 2gb/s under usb 3.2x2

Can anyone confirm this? I'd love to eat my hands on some external storage that can crack off faster than 2GB/s especially if this is capable over USB 3.2/2 as that's what I have MEOW.

Then again my mobo does offer up thunderbolt support via an AIC right now. Just not sure if I want to spend the money for it ATM. $100 I believe which isn't shite and all, but if I don't need it ATM I'm good on it then.

Anyone confirm the speeds of this drive over USB 3.2/2?? Theoretically speaking it should be able to attain around 2.5GB/s over USB 3.2x2.
