Well it is also usb-3. 10 Gbps is 1.25 GB/s but that is the theoretical limit. You are never getting 1.25 GB/s out of a usb-3 device 1 GB/s (maybe 1.1 GB/s) is about as good as you are going to get in the real world.

They'd better guarantee it. It's a blue port, it fits into to the blue port, it should work! ;-p
This X100 drive might be a nice option to upgrade from say an existing Samsung T3 or T5 drive in that those drives seem to be limited to about 500MB read/write

Are those NVME drives inside atleast few of those models?SharpEars - Friday, January 11, 2019 - link
Based on the specs, I would say that the Z100 is definitely NVME and the X100 is most likely NVME, while the others look like SATA.bubblyboo - Friday, January 11, 2019 - link
Controller for the X100 is NVME only but it is DRAM-less which is why the speeds are awful.namechamps - Monday, January 14, 2019 - link
