Retina 5K iMac 27" 2019 Thunderbolt 3 doesn't run 40 Gps
I'm running Sequoia 15.4.1 on my iMac. I recently connected 2 OWC Express 1M2 External SSD's to the Thunderbolt 3 ports, but it's being supported as a USB 3.1 at 10 gps instead of recognizing the 1M2 device as a USB4, which should be capable of 40 Gbps. The Hardware display describes the Thunderbolt 3 port as "Thunderbolt/USB4." OWC claims it supports Thunderbolt 3 only as a 10 Gb/s device, but it DOES support USB4 as 40 Gb/s. So why doesn't the iMac Thunderbolt interface negotiate as a USB4 to achieve the higher speed?
Below are 2 screen shots of the Hardware devices. The first shows no devices connected to Thunderbolt, and the second shows the Express 1M2 devices supported as USB 3.1.
