Hi, hope you're well!
So I know the Thunderbolt 3 NVMe enclosures actually support up to 40Gbps.
And USB enclosures can only go up to SS10 or SS20 (20Gbps)
So even if I use a 3.2 Gen 2 SATA enclosure, we are limited to SATA's 6Gbps. Regardless of what the spinning drive could actually achieve.
So does that mean
A. it's possible that spinning drives can actually do better than 6Gbps, but we've always seen them limited with the SATA interface
B. A USB hard drive made directly with the Gen 2x2 interface could, go higher than 6Gbps, like this one?
Thanks in advance,
Trip
Also, I think it begs the question, what's the fastest a spinning drive has outputted? I'm sure this has been thought of before lol
