We've also added a screenshot of speed testing our 2TB Thunderbolt SSD drive using this Thunderbolt 4 cable. We have a comparison screenshot using a third party Thunderbolt 3 cable (that costs a lot more). Please email us if you'd like to see the comparison performance - it is quite staggering!
Please remember that Gbps stands for Gigabits per second.
We use Gbps as it is the commonly used measure of data transfer speeds between hardware devices ... storage capacity is typically measured in bytes, whilst data transfer speeds are typically measured in bits.
1GB/s is equivalent of 8Gbps, so 40Gbps is equivalent to a GB data transfer of 5GB/sec.
