They were already selling this as usb 3.1 which is the same thing as usb 3.2 gen 1 that they're selling now, I guess the marketing department has to keep busy somehow :D
If anything ever prompts me to use that drive in something that can take advantage of its real speed, it's not life changing but a welcome improvement.
Either way, these make for great gifts.
Hard pass especially at this capacity.
