Name: RTL9210(B) USB to NVME/SATA bridge

9210 product id is used for both 9210 and 9210B controllers (I have both, 9210 died).

https://www.realtek.com/en/products/connected-media-ics/item/rtl9210b-cg says:

The Realtek RTL9210B-CG is a USB (Universal Serial Bus) bridge that combines a USB device with both a PCI Express (PCIe) controller and a SATA controller. Via the PEDET interface of M.2 mechanical, the RTL9210B-CG can auto switch USB-to-PCIe mode, or USB-to-SATA mode.

Name: RTL9210B PCIe Gen3x2 / SATA Gen3 Bridge

Note: please stay with the name conventions

There is no way to determine the revision of a chip from its VID/PID, i.e. whether RTL9210B or RTL9210.

The RTL9210B only uses two lanes out of four which the m.2 connector offers and it uses PCIe-Version Generation 3. Therefore it is called PCIe Gen3x2-Bridge.
Obviously, a m.2-PCIe-SSD only uses the NVMe-protocol, just as a m.2-SATA-SSD only uses the AHCI-protocol.
Furthermore the RTL9210B also adapts SATA-SSDs with a link speed of 6 Gibit/s, which is SATA-Generation 3.

Since "The USB ID Repository" only lists USB devices, the mention of USB in the "Name" is a needless redundancy.
