4. Performance Considerations

To maximize the speed of your Yottamaster PF20 SSD, the following conditions should be considered:

1. Achieving 20Gbps Speed: To reach a speed of 20Gbps during use, three conditions must be met:
   • Antara Muka Peranti: The connected device must support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2. While the PF20 is backward compatible, the transfer rate will match the maximum speed the interface can handle.
   • Kabel Data: The data cable used must support a transfer rate of 20Gbps.
   • Connected Device Speed: The connected device itself must be capable of reaching read/write speeds of 2000MB/s.
2. Phone Compatibility and Speed: When using the PF20 with a phone, these conditions also apply. Otherwise, the transfer rate will only reach the maximum speed the phone's interface can handle. For example, when used with the iPhone 16 Pro/Max, the maximum speed can reach 10Gbps, while the iPhone 16/15 can only reach the USB 2.0 transfer speed of 480Mbps.
