350Mbps seems more like USB 2.0 speed from a 2.5" SSD, than USB3.1 Gen 2.
What am I missing.
On my 2012 mini, System Report showed a 2.5" drive and box as 'up to 480 Gbps' even though the box was a USB3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps) version.
I swapped out the included cable for one from AMZ rated as USB3.1 Gen 2.
Noticeably stouter, the box then showed up as 'Up to 10Gpbs' in System Reports.
I don't recall how much faster it was, maybe around 500-550Mbps total.
The included cable was definitely damaged or a USB2 cable.
