There is a lot of spec weirdness on "usb3" cables. You have to carefully read the description on the cable, and sometimes the reviews.
I have seen usb3 charging cables (data is usb2). I have seen usb3 charging (3A or 5A) + 5G, and usb3 charging + 10G. So usb-c to usb-c any length longer than a meter or 2 would need to be an active USB3 cable, and there are different power (3A/5A), and then usb2 speed, 5G or 10G. And they all say usb-c since that connector is on both ends. On Thu, Dec 7, 2023 at 11:57 PM <[email protected]> wrote: > > A while back I acquired a NVMe caddy but did not get to use it.
