Having issues with download speed. It's a new laptop and am wondering if it is compatibility with the M3 pro chip. I am downloading to an external SSD.

    Download speed has nothing to do with compatibility.

    Do you have a 5 GHz WiFi connection?

    How large is the quantity you are downloading?

    With larger downloads and/or many small files the SLC cache can become full, depending on the memory chips used, this can significantly slow down performance; it would be worst if the SSD has QLC memory.

    Which SSD is it exactly?

    Then the servers may be at full capacity, or there may be bottlenecks at your provider, etc.

    How fast is your internet connection and how fast are the downloads, do other downloads work normally, e.g. games, movies, etc?

    What results do you get at speedtest.net?
