OWC Express 1M2 USB4 SSD: Clone Backup Speed

re: TESTED, OMG: OWC Express 1M2 USB4 SSD Trounces the Fastest Thunderbolt 3 SSD
Test results are one thing, but what about real-world usage?
One such usage is making a clone backup. Previous tests suggested that the 4TB model might run more slowly than the 8TB model when writing is continuous for more than about 1.2TB.
However...
Test results: cloning
Surprise!
The 4TB model slightly faster for the clone backup. Which is why real world usage should always trump artificial test results.
Both drives are blazingly fast, taking only about 15 minutes to backup 2.2TB.
