How far are we from being able to buy Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 SSDs (4x the speed) or Thunderbolt 5 SSDs (5-7x the speed) at similar prices?
Does the difference in speed make a practical difference?
I suspect some of you are following this much more closely than I am. Thanks!

This has failed multiple times for me as soon as I started using it. In contrast, my Samsung T7s are still going strong after several years of use. Wouldn't buy Crucial again.

What's the best format to use for either mac or windows?

And the best one for using on both operating systems?

I'm just going to load audio files on it.

interesting. i've had this exact drive for months now and use it as my post prod drive for several hundred GB video productions. no issues. i have used samsung too.

i stay away from sandisk now, but yeah this drive and samsung (T7's, etc) work brilliantly.

the interface bandwidth means little vs. the speed of the drive itself.

Technically correct. In practice, any drive that's faster than this has a faster interface. The reason is, even if this drive were faster, the interface would be the bottleneck. For higher speeds, you need a faster interface. So again in practice, every drive faster than this has a faster interface. You need Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 or Thunderbolt 5 / USB4.20 to reach internal SSD speeds for an external drive.

This particular drive has a USB 3.2 interface, which maxes out at 10Gbps = 1,250 MB/ sec. I agree, of course, that the hardware is not bottlenecked by the interface speed. Even if it were a Thunderbolt 5 drive, it could not be any faster.

The question remains, when will we get faster drives at this price? To answer my own question, the X10 Pro is 2x the speed of the X9 Pro and is only marginally more expensive when on sale. Alas that drive has an interface (USB 3.2 Gen 2x2) that almost no devise has. So it is pointless for most people. Regardless, it appears that drives that can achieve 2,000 MB/sec are only marginally more expensive to make than drives that do 1,000 BM/sec. Faster drives are significantly more expensive though.
