Before you suggest this thread isn't in the right place, I just wanted to mention that I didn’t see it here. Since USB ports are built into the motherboards, I chose to share this information instead. I was considering assembling a PC but decided to stick with the chassis I currently use. While MSI boards have many front USB connectors, I thought about upgrading to fewer ports without sacrificing speed. I’m curious if there are adapters or cables that merge two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports into one USB 3.2 Gen 2 port for better performance. Have a great day!

I don't think that's the case. The only adapter I've seen is for standard USB 3.1 to USB C, which usually costs around twenty dollars.
