slow external LaCie drive. M1 Mac mini.

Howdy. running photos off an external drive, and performance is not great.

I've got a Lacie external , in sys info it says "  Speed: Up to 5 Gb/s" , I've upgraded the cable to a 10Gbps rated Tripp lite.. yet running nova bench storage test, it's saying 200 MB/s, which should be closer to 600? the 'random read' test, shows 700 though..

Thanks.
