“The max advertised speeds 5Gbps (625 MBps) is no where near the actual speed. At most, using a USB C to USB Micro-B cable to this drive, I’m only getting around 110 MBps - I’m plugging the cable from the WD Drive directly to a 2021 M1 MBP - Why so slow?”

The negotiation is done for each file, so transferring a single file it needs to be done once, transferring n files means it needs to be done n times.
