Bazzite Running Super Slow Off of External SSD

Hi! I'm running a GPD Win Mini and wanted to just test the waters with Bazzite to see how I like it without completely wiping my system first. I installed it on an external SSD (a SanDisk SDCZ880-128G-GAM46), but it's running incredibly slowly. Games download at a snails pace and the initial install/Steam update also took forever (something like 2mb/s) I made sure in Windows it worked just fine, and it does get the rated 400mb/s just fine there. It's plugged in over a USB4 interface as well. Is there some kind of setting in Bazzite that's detecting it's running off of USB and handicapping the speed for some reason?
