1) Using a laptop which has a USB 3.1 Gen 2 USB-C / TB3 port (supporting up to 10gbps via USB-C), connected an NVME (M.2 Gen 3) drive to the laptop using the following enclosure (capable of up to USB 3.2 GEN 2 speeds):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MNFH1PX/
2) On the laptop, setup a 4GB RAM drive (to eliminate bottlenecks of writing data to internal HDDs / SSDs)
3) Copied a ~1.75GB file from the NVME drive (in the external enclosure) to the RAM DRIVE using the Basesailor cable advertised in this thread. Speed never exceeded 40MB/sec (which is 320mpbs), typically stayed in the 37MB-38MB/sec range. Copy took at least 10 seconds, maybe even as long as 30 seconds.
4) Disconnected the NVME drive, connected the native USB-C cable it came with (which is perhaps 6 inches long, so significantly shorter than the Basesailor cable)
5) Copied a different file that was over 1.8GB in size from the external NVME drive to the RAM drive. Copy completed so fast (under 1 second), was unable to see the data transfer speed.
6) Copied both the 1.75GB and 1.8GB files to the RAM drive next. Copy once again completed fast (under 2 seconds).
Based on the rudimentary tests above, this Basesailor cable is indeed USB 2.0, and for that reason I'll be returning it. The product description listing 5gbps as its max data transfer rate is incorrect.
