A user is equipping a home office and needs the fastest possible data-transfer connection for an external solid-state drive (SSD). The computer already has the required ports. Which type of cable should the user select to achieve the best performance?
Serial (RS-232)
USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) over USB-C
Thunderbolt 3
USB 2.0
Thunderbolt 3 is the fastest interface among the options, supporting data transfer speeds up to 40 Gbps. This is significantly faster than the other choices. USB 3.2 Gen 2 offers speeds up to 10 Gbps, while USB 2.0 is limited to 480 Mbps. A serial (RS-232) connection is a legacy interface with much slower speeds, measured in kilobits per second, and is unsuitable for high-speed data transfer.
