Ever since I "upgraded" to Monterey from Big Sur, my APFS formatted external SSDs take forever to mount. The same drives mounted instantly on Big Sur. The issue exists on both my Intel and M1 based machines running macOS 12.6.3.

The issue specifically affects APFS encrypted disks as my unencrypted APFS drive mounts instantly.

Anyone else experiencing the same issue?
