Thankfully we won’t see .1, .2 etc. as they are doing away with the version numbers.
Also USB4 and Thunderbolt 3 will start to become compatible with each other. A quote:

“Compatible With Thunderbolt 3 Optionally

Intel made news when it said it had given the Thunderbolt 3 protocol to USB Promoter Group, allowing devices with USB4 ports to potentially be compatible with Thunderbolt 3 devices and USB4 devices to attach to Thunderbolt 3. That’s good news for everyone, especially laptop users who want to play games by connecting an eGPU (external graphics card).”

Hopefully connectivity will become much more standardized, but I doubt it.

SanDisk sure has been busy bringing us new and excellent products. thanks for the review Les.
