Question 1

For clarification this is USB 3.2 which has a max theoretical transfer speed of 20 Gbps. This storage device is advertised as being able to achieve transfer speeds of 440 MB/s. If those units are converted to be similar units, that means this device has a transfer speed of 3.5 Gbps. Is that correct?

Accepted Answer

Yes that is correct. It has always been my understanding that 1 megabyte is equal to 8 megabits which agrees with a Google search of the topic. So you apparently have the same understanding and your math likely gave you a value of 3520 megabits per second for the Adata transfer rate or, in other words, approximately 3.5 gigabits per second.

Question 2

Backward compatible to USB 2.0?

Accepted Answer

Yes

Question 3

Can the cable be upgradeded to a usb C? and how much of a difference will that make in speed?

Accepted Answer

You can purchase a Micro-B to Type-C adapter. It will, however, not make a difference in speed; use of the adapter will only be helpful to add more compatibility with devices that support that connector.

Question 4

Where exactly does the power derive from?

Accepted Answer

USB !!
