    Hello Apple & Mac friends. What's the bandwidth of the USB 3 of the Late 2015 5K iMac and what version 3 is it? Is it USB 3.1 Gen 1 or Gen 2? Thank you. Stay safe & may all that you do be blessed and mistakes free.

    USB 3.1 Gen 2 External SSD as Boot Drive

    Anyone here using a 10Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 SSD Enclosure with NVMe PCIe SSD as the Boot Drive? Is building a drive like this better than using a Samsung T5 you think? Will this be reliable for long term?
