File transfer speed is still now even replacing a new fast ssd

So i swapped my nvme ssd to much faster ones with 7300 write and 6000 read from 2500/3500 but it still moves folders slow (50mb/s)?

    If your SSD or the system is overheating, it might throttle performance. Make sure your laptop isn’t overheating during transfers.

    Speed bottlenecks often come from other factors like SATA-to-USB adapters, file system overheaded, or network limits, not just SSD speed. Check cables, transfer method, and whether TRIM or caching is properly enabled.

    Make sure your NVMe SSD is properly connected to a high-speed M.2 slot that supports PCIe 4.0 or 5.0 (depending on your drive). Sometimes, a slower slot or loose connection can bottleneck performance.

    Have you tried to run Resource Monitor or Performance Monitor in Administrative Tools? It will give you a better idea of where the issue occurs.
