It's A Digital Disease!

Hi all,

I'm currently creating a dedicated Plex server. I've always run this from my Gaming PC but electricity cost and longevity of this PC have made me decide to run it off of a NUC. I recently purchased a GMK Tec NUC from Amazon (link to listing here) which says it comes with 4 USB 3.2 ports. I am housing my hard drives in a Mediasonic Hard Drive Enclosure that is equipped with a USB 3.2 port. I noticed that my transfer speeds were around 40 MB/s when I'm copying files from the hard drive enclosure to the M.2 drive in my NUC. I know there are a lot of variables, but I feel like it should be faster. I then looked at the Device Manager for my NUC and it lists a USB Root Hub (USB 3.0) and an Intel USB 3.10 eXtensible Host Controller - 1.20.

How do I verify that my included ports are USB 3.2? Is there anything I'm missing in my setup that could increase transfer speeds?
