Mac Mini 2023 M2 external nvme boot drive (Sonoma 14.2.1)

If someone has the time and knowledge, could you look at this and tell me why my Mac mini 2023 M2 (external boot drive) has been having problems rebooting?

Run hardware diagnostics

But I would imagine your external NVME drive’s controller software is the culprit.
Thanks for taking a look.

I ran the diagnostics test and the result was “no issues found” … so I've backed up the drive and if necessary I'll restore the data to the internal drive and just use it.

I restored the time machine backup to the internal drive and the Mac mini is running much better, I had a few issues with stalling and freezing as well. I used to have a Mac with a fusion drive, and having an external boot drive worked well. But it doesn't appear to work so well with these new Mac's.
