I purchased a SiliconPower A55 internal SSD and using it with a SATA III to USB 3.0 adaptor cable to connect to my laptop's USB 3.0 port.
Crystal DiskMark test shows very low read/ write speeds.


Is this a problem because of the cable?
If I connect my Samsung T5 or T7, they have very good speeds of over 400 MBPS.
I tried copying a large Windows image file of size 12 GB and the copy window shows a speed of about 111 MBPS. This is still very low compared to the claimed speed of 500 MBPS.
Is the Silicon Power SSD faulty or is it being severely limited by the cable?
