    Seems to be a big issue. Please share here the write speed to external SSDs you get connected to your iPad Pro 2021. On a Samsung T7 USB 3.2 SSD I got only 44 MBps copying a 5 GB file to the HFS+ formatted SSD using the original USB 3.2 and a TB3/USB4 cable.

    SSD Issue on ARM Macs

    Because there is a huge thread now, it’ll be hard to read what is discussed about this issue and what has helped. TL;DR: Update to 11.4 Big Sur as soon as you can to solve the SSD issue. As many are already aware (and to those who are new to this issue), the problem was largely fixed by macOS...
