First of all, confirm that your cables are functional. It's surprisingly common for a USB cable to fail at data transmission and you won't be able to tell unless you test it, so don't make assumptions. I went through 4 cables I thought were good before finding one that actually transmitted data in addition to power.
Second, I don't know if this is the most ...

I have seen this on multiple occasions and have been looking for a solution for years. I think I have one now. If you actually look at the USBC sector you'll find you can decode it as a USB command block. And also that these sector cause following sectors to shift.
Here's an example I have which is interesting for more than one reason, which I will explain ...

The FAQ says:
USB3.Optical cables by Corning are optimized to work in hi-speed (480Mb/s) and superspeed (5.0Mb/s) systems. The cable can support lower speed USB 1.1 & 1.0 peripherals (<12Mb/s) with use of a wall-powered intermediate hub (either USB2 or USB3).
So yeah, just use the hub you’d probably need anyway to provide power.

The answer unfortunately is no. The cable itself is 'dumb', its the driver and usb interface which determine communication type.
You could try to downgrade the driver to a usb1.1 but I doubt you'll find a driver for that which is compatible with the usb interface hardware.

Support for USB-C charging depends mainly on the laptop and what voltages and wattages it individually supports, as well as what charger is plugged in. In order to explain this, it's important to understand USB-PD and what it offers. USB-PD is the standard that USB-C uses to allow charging on modern devices. It supports multiple voltages (5V, 9V, 15V, and ...

It is possible to install Linux on a Windows 10 UEFI/GPT system without any other media. But it's not for the novice and it's not simple.

Try making a Windows 10 installation USB using the Microsoft media creation tool, though if the boot partition has been destroyed, that might not work.

Attach all USB-devices.
Boot.
Hold F10 to go into BIOS.
Go to 'Boot'.
Go to 'Hard disk drives'
Disable all drives except 'USB: General Flash'
Change Boot Priority: Select 'USB: General Flash'.
Save.
The tricky part is that you have to have all USB-drives attached before you can disable the drives. And only after you have disabled them, can you select the ...

The short answer is you cannot . USB is a host/client based connection, meaning one end of the USB connection controls the other. The ports in your computers are connected to USB host controllers. You cannot connect a host to a host.

This is an interesting problem even if it is a few years old.

One possible problem is that USB female to female adapters violate the USB spec, and by violating the spec things tend to stop working. Under the USB 3.x spec a male to male cable is supposed to swap the Tx and Rx lines, so your complaint on this from not understanding the purpose of these cables. These are made for host to host communications, and like an ...

Some mention transfer speeds of up to 10GBps, while others claim that it's like comparing apples and oranges.
It is comparing apples and oranges. USB 3.x is a communications protocol and USB-C is a port for power and data. I use "3.x" to encompass the different versions of USB from 3.0 to 3.2. USB-C is a port that may or may not carry a USB 3.x ...

For a USB-A port on a computer to comply with the USB 3.0 spec it must be able to supply at least 900 mA. For USB-C the minimum to meet the USB 3.0 spec is 1.5 amps. The maximum for USB-C is 3 amps, unless using USB-PD at 20 volts or more then it's 5 amps.
Power out of a hub cannot exceed what goes in. The USB spec says a port must be able to provide 900 ...

Physically: yes, sure.
Logically: yes, USB supports up to 127 devices per root hub, and each controller card will contain one or more root hubs.

USB-C is a connector specification.
USB 3.x is probably mainly a signalling specification.
USB-C (formally known as USB Type-C) is a 24-pin USB connector system with a rotationally symmetrical connector.

I don't have any reason to suspect rsync is the culprit for this slow speed.
I would suspect that the drive itself or its filesystem is the issue.
In fact, a few factors hint at a possible cause. You mention it's a USB drive, and you're transferring 150GB at once. I would hazard a guess that your USB drive uses Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR).

So it appears after running into this myself and finally getting some time to fight with it, that certain systems' BIOS/UEFI implementations are buggy, and if your Windows installation USB is using GPT partitions instead of MBR, the installer stupidly attempts to reconfigure the USB's EFI/System partition as the target even though it just formatted and ...

Firstly, the USB version naming is super confusing. USB 3.1 gen 1 is actually exactly the same thing as USB 3.0. They have renamed "3.0" to "3.1 gen 1" when 3.1 was released. "3.2 gen 1" is also the same thing. Unless it has "gen 2" in name, it's the same port with the same speeds.
