Here are a few answers I found....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 cabl
USB 3 is supposed to have a maximum throughput of 5Gbps. That should allow for around 500MB/s transfer at best. However, there are no HDDs which can handle that speed. Definitely not as a constant transfer where it’s larger than the cache on the drive / in RAM.
SLC vs. MLC vs. TLC. These three acronyms, fully-defined as "single-level cells," "multi-level cells," and "triple-level cells," devise the methodology and technology that is used for flash memory-based drives. The 'level' determines how many bits are stored per cell, with more bits per cell correlating with more storage at a diminished cost (but less stability)
there is much more to answer your question... Here are the google queries I used...
ssd ratings and specs to know
ssd sustained throughput best
usb 3.0 transfer rates
