A: Yes. It's compatible with USB 2.0/3.0/3.1/3.2/4.0, Thunderbolt 3/4.
[Notes]: If you need it to run at Thunderbolt 3/4 40Gbps speed, please make sure your device port with Thunderbolt logo
and the cable is also Thunderbolt certified.
Q: Is it compatible with PCIe 3.0/4.0/5.0 SSD?
A: Yes. But the latest Thunderbolt technology can just support the speed perfromance up to PCIe 3.0*4.
Q: I read some reviews about your recommended SSD, what about those non-recommended SSD, can't I use them in this case?
A: We recommend them just because they got faster speed in our testing. Non-recommended SSD is also functional but the speed may much slower than the recommended ones.
- Recommended SSD: Samsung 970 EVO / Samsung 980 Pro /SEAGATE 510 series.
- Not recommend SSD: Samsung 970 EVO plus / Samsung PM981 / WD SN850 / ADATA / CRUCIAL
Partial speed test results on Mac OS
[Notes]: Due to the firmware limitation of the Macbook M1 chip, the read speed is around 2000Mbps but its write speed is only around 1000Mbps. Chip M1 Pro and M1 Max doesn't have such a limitation.

Why is the TBU401 not compatible with Samsung 970 EVO plus? What happens if I use this combination?

I bought a TBU401 last year. I like it, especially that it works on a TB or USB-C connection. But I cannot find any specs for what max speed it supports as a USB drive (not TB).
All I really want to know is if it supports 20Gbps transfer.
I guess that means it would have to support 3.2 2×2 (20Gbps)?
or 3.1 gen 2 2×2?
(ridiculous naming)
If only 10Gbps, then fine, but can you state whether it is 3.1 1×2 (10Gbps),
or 3.1 g2 2×1 (10Gbps), or what exactly?
Thank you…
