The SSD should have a maximum write speed above 500 MB/s, so the limit is likely the flash drive. Unfortunately it being USB 3.1 Gen 2 doesn't say much, it's usually the flash memory or the controller that's the limit. Around 30 MB/s is a fairly typical limit for such devices. There are faster ones, but they usually cost a lot more.
