For the user who wants the option of speedy 40Gbps performance, the Pro-G40 is the best dual-bus drive that we’ve tested. But that flexibility will cost you. As a USB 3.2 10Gbps, the Pro-G40 is good, but not noticeably better than the best-performing drives in that class.

When connected via Thunderbolt, it offers blistering speeds and acceptable performance over USB. However, regardless of that, given the price, unless you have some serious cash to burn, this isn’t an impulse purchase.
