I had no idea what USB standard my laptop ports actually used until I found this in Device Manager
Not all the USB ports on your laptop run at the same speed, even when they look identical. The same shape of port, whether USB-A or USB-C, could be a fast one that handles an external SSD at full speed, or a slower one that quietly caps your transfers at USB 2.0 speeds. The blue plastic inside that's supposed to mark the faster ones is optional, the SS logos next to them are missing on most laptops, and the spec sheet usually just says "2x USB Type-A" without telling you which generation either of them is.
