ProGrade's new PG10 SSD, available in 2TB, 4TB, and 8TB capacities, sports fast USB 4.0 technology and promises swift maximum speeds. However, while it's not the quickest drive in short sprints we have tested, its primary appeal is sustained performance, even when moving huge batches of files.
Nextorage's NX-B2PRO CFexpress Type B memory cards promise high-level read and write performance, including maximum read and write speeds of 3,900 and 3,600 MB/s, respectively.

VESA has announced that USB 4 is going to be even more versatile that we thought. Thanks to the new "DisplayPort Alt Mode 2.0" spec, USB 4 will be able to fully support the DisplayPort 2.0 standard, allowing it to power up to three 10K monitors at the same time, or one 16K monitor, at 60Hz.
Earlier this week, the USB Implementation Forum (USB-IF) finally revealed the specifications for USB4, and it looks like USB will catch up to Thunderbolt 3 in every respect. With dual-lane 40Gbps transfer rates, power delivery, and continued support for display protocols, single-cable computing will soon become the standard.
