Here's a Gen 2x2 SSD [1] but I can't seem to find a reliable listing for a cable, the general consensus is just to use what comes in the box. At this point I'd only buy cables that come with the right logo stamped directly on it like this one [2].

The most annoying part is that there is actually a perfectly fine standard for labeling USB-C cables.[0] If a cable can transfer 80Gbps of data and 240W of power, it's supposed to simply have "80Gbps / 240W" written right on the connector. Some rare cables actually do this[1], but the vast majority of manufacturers just can't be bothered with it.

If you want to cover all use cases your only option are the 240 W, 40 Gbps cables, and they are not cheap (https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Supports-Display-Transfer-Charg...).
