Q: 5. My gamer pc has USB 3.2 Gen 1 type A ports! Can an ssd external drive w/ 3.2 Gen 2x2, USB-C or USB 3.2 Gen 2 be compatible with my pc?

A: Yes, you can use a drive like the LaCie 1TB Rugged USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C External SSD BH #LASTHR100080 using an adapter but the speeds will only go up to Gen 1 speeds (5Gbps) so you will lose performance. If you have a desktop PC and an open PCie slot, you can install a PCie card with Gen 2 USB C and then be able to use the drive to it's full potential. This is a good option for the PCIe card if you are interested in exploring that option and have an available PCie slot on your Computer.
