The more important thing to note here is that there are nearly (or absolutely?) no laptops on the market that support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2. They all support just Gen 2 (not x2) so you'll still get 10 Gbps from this enclosure.
I've seen 2x2 on desktop motherboards though. And there are PCIe cards that do that port. That's where this enclosure will shine.
If you need more than 10 Gbps on a laptop, look for a USB4/Thunderbolt enclosure: that will do more than 10 Gbps even if USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 support is absent. I use a USB4 NVMe SSD Pro Enclosure (3.8 GB/s). Before that, I used a Thunderbolt 3 OWC Envoy Express (1.5 GB/s).

I got this enclosure on a past deal, assuming that my Mac Studio's Thunderbolt 4 ports would be backward compatible. Alas, just 10 Gbps.

All the downvotes - people can't tell it's a joke?
The maximum transfer rate of USB 3.2, specifically the "Gen 2x2" version, is 20 Gbps
The maximum transfer rate of a USB-C Gen 1 connection is 5 Gbps.
The maximum transfer rate of a USB-C Gen 2 connection is 10 Gbps.
The maximum transfer rate of a USB-C Gen 3 connection is 20 Gbps (2.422 GB/s). This is achieved through multi-lane operation, which allows for two lanes of 10 Gbit/s operation.
The maximum transfer rate of a USB-C Gen 4 connection, also known as USB4, is 40 Gbps (Gigabits per second). However, some devices may only support a 20 Gbps transfer rate depending on the cable and device specification
Source google, so check your computer see which standards it supports before buying something that you dont need.
