  • Review: The new CalDigit Tuff Nano is a tiny beast of an SSD

    The USB-IF can go to hell with this USB 3.1 rebranded as USB 3.2 bullshit. As someone who actually follows this stuff I still get confused. I feel sorry for consumers in general who have no chance in hell of understanding any of it. I had to go back and double check that 3.2 Gen 2 is the exact same thing as 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps). 

    CalDigit's page for this product is even more confusing to the casual observer as they say "Thunderbolt 3 compatible" but of course it doesn't use TB3, it just means it works with your device with those ports. Presumably the bottleneck here is the USB 3.2 gen 2 interface as a TB3 interface with NVMe storage would potentially be faster than what this tops out at, yeah?
    Looks like it tops out at about 1.7Gbps, so clearly USB 3.1 Gen2 is not the bottleneck.
