Nope. Teardown shows it's an integrated USB controller board with memory embedded, not an M.2 NVMe.

Quote from amax :
People who use laptops aren't serious about power anyway (and arguably, people who sell out to Apple aren't serious either). I'm pleased to find that most desktop motherboards now include both, even though it could have gone the other direction since the USB spec failed to demand backward compatibility. Labeling is now streamlined into identifying speed, so don't just hunt for the 2x2 spec: you're looking for USB with 20 Gbps which can only be Gen 2x2.
Totally false info. USB4 20 Gbps also exists, and is not the same as USB 3.2 Gen2x2.

USB4 20 Gbps uses the USB4 protocol at half speed, and does not require USB 3.2 Gen2x2.

So you are wrong. There are 20 Gbps USB hosts that will throttle this drive to 10 Gbps.

You need to explicitly confirm your PC/host has USB 3.2 Gen 2x2.

Right, of course, but you're being dramatic. USB4 at 20 Gbps rarely exists, but more commonly, mobos will say USB 20Gbps Type-C, such as mine:

You're eager to reach your conclusion and assume lack of 2x2, instead of admitting that it's usually 2x2. And if you don't see USB 4 as a prefix but do see 20 Gbps, it's DEFINITELY 2x2.

Even if your PC is capped at 10 Gbps; that is 1,250 MegaBytes per second. An incredible data transfer rate. You are not copying from a Hard Drive at that speed.

Think the word you're looking for is accurate.

SSDs regularly exceed that. For a lot of content creation and LLM work, 20 Gbps is starting to make a real difference.

Q3 next year? Why so far off? There's a lot happening to suggest the process has already started - cancelled projects etc, which can be found on YouTube.

My gut feeling suggests it may burst Q3 of this year - and that will be great for humanity.
There is a lot of demand by data centers as well as AI folks. People needing SSD for consumer will pay less than those needing SSD for server/cloud/AI. And those 3 groups need a LOT of storage.

The good news is that we are still seeing cost up on memory, but much less up.

Or.. it might just become the new norm. It's like car prices haven't dropped either after COVID.
