[ROG Strix Arion] Why can’t I reach 10 Gbps?

The actual read and write speed depends on the device you are using. In order to reach best efficiency, please ensure that you have connected USB 3.2 Gen2 cable, which is attached with ROG Strix Arion, to your computer’s USB 3.2 Gen2 port.

For instance, if your computer only provides USB 3.2 Gen1 port, then the maximum read and write speed can only achieve 5Gb/s theoretically.

The following is an additional note for you to distinguish different USB Type-C:

（1）USB3.2 Gen1 Type-C can reach maximum 5 Gb/s bandwidth theoretically.

（2）USB3.2 Gen2 Type-C can reach maximum 10 Gb/s bandwidth theoretically.

（3）USB3.2 Gen1 Type-C + PD can reach maximum 5 Gb/s bandwidth theoretically.

（4）USB Type-C port with no marks is usually USB3.2 Gen1 Type-C multifunction port. It can reach maximum 5 Gb/s bandwidth theoretically.
