Transferring photo files from an SD card to an SSD is extremely slow (68 GB estimated at 3 hours) even with high-end hardware and Thunderbolt 4 connection.

Existing hardware (SSD, cable, cards) are high-spec but transfer speeds are still bottlenecked, possibly by software or system configuration; no specific software solution mentioned.
