Does the 2024 iPad Pro support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2

The iPad Pro M4 specifications make no mention of USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 - but lists USB3 support being limited to 10Gb/s maximum throughput. However, the iPad Pro M4 supports Thunderbolt 3 / USB4 @ 40Gb/s:

This is the information I was able to find.

>>Note: To achieve maximum advertised speeds, please make sure your computer or host device is certified to support the 20 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 connection.

Apple devices, including those with Thunderbolt/ USB4, do not support 20 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 and will be limited to 10 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2.<<

Please excuse the ignorant question but is this saying that if I get a Thunderbolt 3 cable and connect it to a USB 3..2 Gen 2x2 device that I will get transfer rates of 40Gb/s?

No. Your USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 device will be limited to 10Gb/s.

For maximum performance with your iPad Pro M4, choose an alternative storage device that supports Thunderbolt 3 or USB 4.
