You suspect correctly. The USB 3 family starts at 5 Gbps. All but the cheapest boards have at least one 10 Gbps USB, either as USB-A or USB-C. Some at the back, some as a new internal connector for a USB-C socket at the case front. Still rare are USBs with 20 Gbps. But I think your board was quite a good model, no? I tried to find it out by perusing old threads, but they are a bit confusing at times.^^ I found mentions of Asus Prime X670-P and of Asus B550 Plus. The former has a 20 Gbps socket, the latter only provides 10 Gbps. > I did reach out to the seller. I thought I was buying from Crucial > itself but turns out it was someone else.

Since I’ve never held an iOS device in my hands, I have no idea about what FS they support. But the answer should be just a short DuckDuck away. :) -- Grüße | Greetings | Salut | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network.
