Reviewing my upgrade plans for the rig feels good. I own one USB 3.1 Gen 2 device paired with a USB-C cable (an external SSD). My previous setup had trouble locating a motherboard with a Type C Gen 2 port. I’m considering X570 boards that support 3.2 Gen 2 ports, though some only have 3.2 Gen 2 and others mix them. Just confirming that switching from A to C doesn’t affect performance—both offer 10 Gbit/s. I’ll use the USB 3.2 Gen 2 A to C cable you linked.

C offers significantly greater power capacity and higher bandwidth capabilities. This results in noticeable performance improvements, particularly when using external SSDs or drives.

USB standards can be quite perplexing. The older versions like USB 3.0, 3.1 and 3.1 Gen 2 are no longer available and have been phased out. Today’s specifications include USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gb/s), USB 3.2 Gen 2 (Type A), USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (Type C) at 20 Gb/s, and USB 3.2 Gen 2 (Type A). For a motherboard with a 10 Gbit/s port, you should focus on USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports regardless of whether they are USB C or USB A. With USB 4, naming conventions have simplified things. USB 4 offers speeds up to 40 Gb/s (replacing the Gen 2x2 standard) and Thunderbolt 2.
