Does this support USB4 or will it be limited to ...
Does this support USB4 or will it be limited to USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds on Macs (which to my knowledge do not support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2)?
To clarify the question, on any currently-released Macs data will be limited to 10 Gb/sec (USB 3.2 Gen 2) instead of the advertised 20 Gb/sec (USB 3.2 Gen 2x2)? USB-C is the type of connector rather than the protocol and USB 3.2 has multiple speeds, so the provided answer isn't specific enough to be helpful

To clarify the question, the data connection is ...
To clarify the question, the data connection is labeled as 20 Gb/sec but it is not specified if this is a USB4 connection (which is supported by Macs -- and the APFS pre-formatting indicates this is aimed at Mac users) or USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (which is NOT supported by even USB4-equipped Macs). USB-C is only the physical connector and USB 3.2 is split between multiple data rates with patchy compatibility, so the staff answer to my question isn't specific enough about compatibility. Will the new USB4-equipped Macs will be able to use the 20 Gb/sec speeds advertised or will they be limited to the 10 Gb/sec of a years-old standard?
This SanDisk Professional Pro-Blade Transport uses USB 3.2 x2 for its host connection, not a USB 4 connection.

is it suitable for normal use , I mean as an external storage with laptop or it's just for shooting ? - if yeah can I use the same storage with the dock pro 4 incase increasing in capacity?
The SanDisk Professional 4TB PRO-BLADE TRANSPORT could be used with a computer instead of a camera, but it is specialized for use with cameras and there are better options for a computer storage application.
