[attachment=20814]Motherboard GL 553 VD
I run an NVMe external and looking at tree view I thought" would it be great if it could process a little bit faster like thunderbolt on my Mac" so I look in tree view and that part.

make me think that maybe on that GL 553VD the controller is supporting Gen 2 speed of 10 GB/s .
I look into the the Asus doc and for my laptop a GL 553VD it is USB - A 3.1 Gen 1 ( the USB - C is also 3.1 Gen 1) , so I got few USB- A and USB-c 3.1 Gen 2 connectors , on the C the blocker were at a different [place as show by the red circle . I would like to be sure I won’t burn my board before doing it on the USB A all pins match just the position should be SMT instead of RA ( right angle) but I couldn't find TYPE A 3.12 Gen 2SMT ( OR type a 3.2 gen 2 are they are call now) so I have to content with RA ( the top pic show the new RA on the left versus the current SMT )
I got 2 questions , the first I believe to change to Gen 2 connector might give me in increase transfer speed , but I could be wrong I just don't know that much on the USB controller on this board, it is just base on USBTre view ...
and 2 looking at the pic of the old and new USB-c , if i remove that little plastic bloc ( circle in red) then I can solder all the pins just find .. Are those 2 block just in place for positioning or do they indicate some kind of polarity..?
So I welcome any comments .... if this work, it could definitely be nice as I have 2 external drive, it would double the transfer speed and could useful to other Asus 553 owner..
