Interface

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.

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.

Idle power (claimed)iMaker's idle power in the PS3 state with APST on, or the state the maker calls low-power idle. On a SATA drive, Slumber counts as low-power idle. A plain idle figure with no low-power state, often near 1 W, is active idle and is not stored. Samsung's Idle with DIPM on is a SATA link power state, so it counts as low-power idle.
