"USB 3.01"... :wtf:

Haven't all variants been reclassified as USB 3.2?

They did not, perhaps from enthusiast consumer space - Yes. But for OEMs they make a metric tonne of stuff. Mainly cases and related accessories.

As for dock, who thought that USB 10Gb/s is good thing for NVMe? Unless you just really want to have any kind of access this will choke any NVMe to death. Even old intel750 will be working at ~40% (overhead and USB limitations).
