If you're going to pick nits, I may as well add that 2Gb is actually
something like 212.5MiB/sec (it's a serial protocol, so the raw bit
rate has to carry an encoding of the data, just as a async 9600 baud
line could only carry 960 bytes/sec, each consisting of 1 start, 1
stop, and 8 data bits). And then there's a framing overhead, too...

It's actually 200 MB/sec (not MiB) due to the fact that every byte is
encoded as 10 bits and signaling rates are measured in SI units.
