Description

UTM hangs when trying to boot VM from usb c M.2 NVME ssd

**Describe the issue**
Ubuntu 20.4 would not properly boot from brand new external M.2 ssd. The VM was stored in a 2.5 HDD, I moved it to the new drive. When trying to start the vm, it would load quickly and get stuck in the boot screen with the bar fully loaded and then it will move and get stuck in the display output not active. After a while it would ask me to connect the drive that has the VM in, to the VM, if I press yes the drive obviously disappears from the Mac and UTM starts flashing warning before freezing the computer resulting in a restart.
The VM boots normally if I use the usb A port on the Mac mini instead of the usb c. The usb c ports on my Mac are used to charge my phone or to connect a monitor.

**Configuration**
* UTM Version: 4.6.5 (108)
* macOS Version: 15.5 (24F74)
* Mac Chip (Intel, M1, ...): M1
