This is the end result of my reading and writing speed analysis. USB 3.2 Gen 2 connection. Mix and match: KingSpec M.2 solid-state drives Both forward and reverse directions had the same top speed of 130 MB/s. The 30 MB/s speed boost over my old WD external is nice, but I was hoping for more given the drive's advanced age.
