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.

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

USB41Maker spec sheet (PDF)documents.sandisk.com/content/dam/asset-library/en_us/assets/public/sandisk/product/portable-drives/extreme-pro-usb-4-portable-ssd/data-sheet-sandisk-extreme-pro-usb-4-portable-ssd.pdfRead 14 October 2026Interface row reads USB4 Gen 3x2 (40Gb/s). The highlights say the drive supports Thunderbolt 4 hosts and works with older USB 3.2 and USB 2.0 devices

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.
