Interface
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 lanes
46Maker product pageweb.archive.org/web/20250429142000/https://sabrent.com/products/sb-xtm5-2tbRead 21 October 2026The page names no lane count. 64Gbps at PCIe 4.0 (16 GT/s per lane) is four lanes, and Guru3D calls 64 Gbps the bandwidth of Gen 4 x48Press articleguru3d.com/story/sabrent-rocket-xtrm5-portable-ssd-with-thunderbolt-5Read 15 October 2026Guru3D names 64 Gbps per direction as the bandwidth of Gen 4 x4, which agrees with the lane count stored. 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
