Thank you for all the excellent reviews. Just one thing: It would be excellent if you could use the correct abbreviation for gigabits per second, i.e. Gbps, as opposed to GBs. GB is the abbreviation for gigabyte, and I’m pretty sure even Ultra M.2 can’t do 32 gigabytes per second! 😉
Cheers
Well spotted, thanks.
