I don't think you can simply compare the speeds of the two specifications. I
think individual implementations can vary from the specification (presumably
by exceeding it/them) and I don't know if, or by how much, the Iyonix and the
A9 exceed the relevant specs. Anyone know?

It's pretty difficult to "exceed" the USB specs, due to the way the
signalling works. However, neither the A9 Home or the Iyonix are likely
to be able to fill USB 2. (That is not to say that having USB 2
provides no advantage.)

The causes for this will be much the same as to why the Iyonix won't be
able to fill its Gigabit ethernet interface.
