The USB port on the Odroid HC2 is 2.0, but the SATA interface is connected to a USB3 but, as is the Gigabit Ethernet.

Furthermore, SATA and Ethernet are connected to individual USB3 busses, as opposed to earlier RPi designs where everything shared the same USB2 bus.

I haven't checked the RPi 4 specs yet, but i can imagine it's still the same layout, just a faster bus, which can be "just fine" - it should be plenty fast to saturate a Gigabit ethernet as well as the SSD/HDD IO required to do that.

For the RPi 4, they moved the ethernet controller onto the SoC, it's not connected via USB any more.

That is exactly what I've been interested in, and the information I was looking for thanks.

The USB-2-Sata interface is indeed USB 3.0. Thanks. USB 2.0 would be too slow to achieve my 100+ MB/s.
