Neat diagram that I hadn't seen before. I plan to keep this image saved so I can refer to it and make sure I am using adequate ports as I swap cards around.

I wonder what this "Higher Power Consumption" means and why that is. Higher than USB-4 or higher than other USB-A slots? I would except a USB-A slot to not use more power than a USB-4 slot.

If I remember correctly due the chip behind those two Usb-c ports the usb-a adapter in those two slots will consume more power than in the others. Others might know more.
