[SOLVED] Using two USB 3.2 Gen ports in parallel with one external HDD to speed backup up?

[Franziska]

Hi,

I have a brand new ultra powerful notebook (XMG Apex 15). I'm very pleased with it but, there is one drawback, it does not have Thunderbolt technology.
I have 2x USB-A 3.2 Gen2, 1x USB-C 3.2 Gen2 onboard as fastest means to attach an external backup drive.

I learned also that HDD are more longterm reliable than external SSD when it comes to data storage.

Now here is the question, is there a way to attach one external drive with the two 2x USB-A 3.2 Gen2 ports in parallel to speed the backup data transfer up? Basically feeding it in parallel? Anyone knows of such a drive?
Or is there a way to combine their troughput with some sort of adapter into a thunderbolt connection?

I am after a storage solution, so using an external SSD is not what I aim for.

Thanks for your thoughts on this,

Franziska

No, that does not exist.
And in any case, the actual spinning drive is the slow thing, not the USB 3.x interface.
