Interface

3 of 5 differ

InterfaceiFastest host connection the drive is rated for. The PCIe generation of an NVMe drive is its own field. A Thunderbolt drive that also works over USB uses its Thunderbolt version.

Thunderbolt 51Maker product pagesabrent.com/products/sb-xtm5-2tbRead 15 October 2026Product Highlights: Thunderbolt 5 technology, connects at up to 80Gbps with transfer speeds up to 64Gbps, and is backward compatible with TB3, TB4 and USB4. The page also describes a USB fallback of up to 20Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 2x2). The manual says USB fallback up to 10Gbps (Gen 2x1). The Thunderbolt version is stored3Owner's manualsabrent.com/cdn/shop/files/SB-XTM5_20-_20Manual_634.pdfRead 15 October 2026Features: connects at up to Thunderbolt 5 speeds (80Gbps) with transfers up to 64Gbps. The Performance modes table lists Thunderbolt 5 at 80 Gbps with potential bandwidth above 6 GB/s. That is a bus figure, not a drive speed claim, so no claimed read or write speed is stored

PCIe generationiHighest PCIe generation the drive supports, e.g. 5 for PCIe 5.0. NVMe drives only. A drive rated for PCIe 4.0 x4 or 5.0 x2 is 5 with 2 lanes, and the source note names both modes.

Its guess that a Gen 5 drive sits inside is a pre-launch assumption, and Sabrent's own page says a PCIe 4.0 SSD, so Gen 5 is not stored
