Is USB 3.1 Gen 2 the same as USB 3.2 Gen 2?
AnswerYes
Yes. Both are 10 Gbps, and so is "SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps" and "USB 10Gbps". The USB-IF renamed the speeds twice, in 2013 and 2017, without changing them. The full map is on the USB names decoder.
The standards involved
2013
USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps)
Double the speed and much better coding. The sweet spot for portable SSDs.
- data: 10 Gbps
- video: No (only via USB-C Alt Mode)
- power: 4.5 W (port)
USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps)
The original USB 3.0, renamed twice. Ten times USB 2.0, enough for hard drives and most flash drives.
- data: 5 Gbps
- video: No (only via USB-C Alt Mode)
- power: 4.5 W (port)
USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20 Gbps)
Two 10 Gbps lanes at once over USB-C. Fast, but host support is patchy.
- data: 20 Gbps
- video: No (only via USB-C Alt Mode)
- power: 4.5 W (port)
