Question 2

For a regular 2.5" ssd, will the speed be slower by using this usb-c dock? (compared to connecting via sata inside the pc)

Accepted Answer

Based purely on specs USB-C 3.2 could potentially be faster than a SATA internal but there is a lot of variation in the standard and real world performance does vary:

USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 defines data transfer rate at 20Gbps over two lanes at 10Gbps each, hence the name SuperSpeed Plus USB 20Gbps on its official namesake logo.  For this speed mode, it requires the use of certified USB-C cables.

USB 3.2 Gen 2×1 is originally known as USB 3.1 Gen 2 and it provides a single lane of 10Gbps.  It can work with either legacy USB 3.0 Type-A or USB-C cables.  This mode is also the fastest USB speed that Thunderbolt 3 supports natively.

USB 3.2 Gen 1×2 takes advantage of dual-lane operation capability of a certified USB-C cable, providing two lanes of 5Gbps.  This mode, introduced as part of new specification, boosts 10Gbps transfer rate over a passive USB-C cable of 3m in length.  In contrast, the Gen 2×1 mode is limited to cables within 1m in order to maintain optimal signal quality.

USB 3.2 Gen 1 is basically USB 3.0 that was superseded by USB 3.1 Gen 1.  Maximum theoretical data transfer is 5Gbps.  It can also work with either legacy USB 3.0 Type-A or USB-C cables.
