quoting from my moterhboard owners manual:
"F_U32 (USB 3.2 Gen 1 Header) The header conforms to USB 3.2 Gen 1 and USB 2.0 specification and can provide two USB ports. For purchasing the optional 3.5" front panel that provides two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports please contact the local dealer"

Crazy changes to usb specs naming scheme of late are quite well known so finding this is proving to be difficult and maybe no longer produced? Still if anyone knows what i'm looking for and can point the right way please help. TIA.

i think the numbering scheme throwing me off when it says 3.2 may be just what most call usb 3.0 which is disapponiting if this is all it can provide. was hoping for newer than that. i already have that adapter from a previous mb. so if its not faster than usb3.0 then i wasted this whole post and i am sorry. learn and keep learning.
 
USB 3.2 Gen 1x1 is equivalent to USB 3.0, that is 5Gbps per second max.

    • USB 3.2 Gen 1(x1) – newly marketed as SuperSpeed USB 5Gbps (replaces SuperSpeed or SS), 5 Gbit/s signaling rate over 1 lane using 8b/10b encoding (nominal data rate: 500 MB/s); replaces USB 3.1 Gen 1, or USB 3.0, respectively.
  • SuperSpeedPlus USB (based on SuperSpeedPlus-architecture and -protocols):
    • USB 3.2 Gen 1×2new, 10 Gbit/s signaling rate over 2 lanes using 8b/10b encoding (nominal data rate: 1000 MB/s).
    • USB 3.2 Gen 2(x1) – newly marketed as SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps (replaces SuperSpeed+ or SS+),[59] 10 Gbit/s signaling rate over 1 lane using 128b/132b encoding (nominal data rate: 1212 MB/s); replaces USB 3.1 Gen 2.
