Getting a 30% increase over a previous version is usually considered pretty good. I believe the 12" pro version is being discontinued. 2-4x speed increase is amazing.

If it does manage to yank out the cable without pulling the laptop, you generally end up doing some damage to the cable or port. With the magnetic one, a magnet holds the connection in place, but if it gets pulled, it detatched without friction.
