Wouldn't it be better to just buy an M.2 NVMe adapter, eg.
ICY DOCK ICYNano MB861U31-1M2B[0]?
It is probably the speed of it being read into RAM.
Try entering sync right after copying to see how long it really takes
It beats my previous desktop's RAM speed, what a time to live in.
Of course, just give them some time and they'll come up with USB4 "gen classic" at 11 Mbps.
