While the X9 Pro drive can be considered a good mainstream variant, the X10 Pro is really impressive in terms of both read/write performance for an USB 3.2 Gen2 2x2 drive, staying on top with other high-end models we have tested in the past. At its heart it does pack a Silicon Motion SM2320 controller and durable Micron 176L 3D TLC NAND ICs, which are able to hold a high transfer rate for quite a bit!
The test system did incorporate a AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6-core CPU, a Sabrent Rocket 2x16GB DDR5 4800MHz C40 memory kit, a PowerColor Red Dragon Radeon RX 5700 video card but also a Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus NVMe 4.0 2TB SSD; all these were connected to the BIOSTAR X670E VALKYRIE AM5 motherboard. As a power supply we have chosen a Cooler Master 850W non-modular and the system was running the latest Windows 11 OS build as well.

On the drive, we also found the manual in electronic format, together with some links pointing to the online resources:
