ok now im really curious, what are you plugging into your CELL PHONE that requires 10 gigabit?
Obviously video. You must be an old fashion person that doesn't record anything on their literally 4k HDR 60fps pocket camera. But I only back up all my stuff directly off my micro SD card because I don't have 24h to empty all 128GB of it via USB 2.0.
It takes 35.5 minutes to transfer 128GB over USB 2.0, not 24 hours.
128GB of 4k 60fps video on the iphone is roughly 5-6 hours of video. Considering MicroSD cards under ideal conditions can only write at roughly 1.5x USB 2.0 speed, you're not really saving a whole lot of time. Especially considering that sustained writes cause a lot of heat in those cards and throughput is drastically reduced within under a minute of transfer time. No idea where you got the 24h empty time from, maybe there's something wrong with your adapter.
69h, sorry.
