And 2024 Macs have TB5, which means 10 GB/sec bandwidth, enabling
an external SSD to perform like a 2TB internal Apple OEM SSD from
a 2020 vintage Mac Studio.

 OK, none of that makes what I have any slower.

Nah, it shows where your claim that USB is slow is factually incorrect.
So much for your standards for "high end" which just aren't really...
Plus it shows that stuff just gets labelled by you as 'overpriced' is also higher performance gear than your self-proclaimed "high end" stuff.
Per the old adage of "Speed cost money. How fast can you afford to go?", its evident that you're deriding that which you want, but won't afford.
...and still waiting on you to post benchmarks, too... /s
