> 20Gbps is either USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 or USB4 Gen3x1, but I'd caution against adding this as the latter is quite rare to see (plus the above reason).

Did you confuse the latter with the former perhaps? I have never seen USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 in the wild. I have just bought a 20 Gbps USB4 cable, connected my laptop with my Android phone using it and it works lightning fast (as compared to USB 3.2 gen 1).

Poe's law. It's very difficult to tell if you guys are serious or just meme-ing about the absurdity of USB versioning.

Here's a Gen 2x2 SSD [1] but I can't seem to find a reliable listing for a cable, the general consensus is just to use what comes in the box. At this point I'd only buy cables that come with the right logo stamped directly on it like this one [2].
