External SSD very slow to load on Monterey
Hi all,
Ever since updating from Big Sur to Monterey (about 3 weeks ago), my external SSD takes FOREVER to load its contents. The drive icon and such shows up immediately when I plug it in. It also is immediately visible with no apparent issues in Disk Utility. But when I open the drive in Finder or try to access anything on the drive, it takes upwards of 10 minutes after plugging it in for anything to show up in the Finder. For reference, this is a Thunderbolt 3 SSD and was lightning quick prior to updating. Once it does finally show the files, the drive is painfully slow. About 30MB/second.
Any ideas what might be going on here? I searched on other sites and some mentioned that formatting to APFS fixed this for some people, but this drive is already formatted this way.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
