Horrible external drive performance on Windows 10 guest (~30 MB/s read)

I have an external USB 3.0 SSD that's supposed to get at least 200 MB/s read speeds (which it does on macOS), but on Windows 10 VM, I get around 30 MB/s...

The VM has been set to use USB 3.1, and the drive is formatted in GPT NTFS.

I appreciate the help if anyone knows how to fix this. Thx

EDIT: I also tried to reinstall VMware Tools now that the drive just randomly ejects itself under "high" load, possibly driver crashing? This drive ejecting itself is new issue and hasn't happened until today.
